Dean Cain, Andy Dick, Sean Patrick Flanery

The film opens with 4 tuxedo clad men showing up at a penitentiary to meet a friend (Luke Wilson) who has just been released after three years in prison and is going straight from the jail to marry hi...( read more  read more... )s girl friend (Drew Barrymore). En route to the wedding, one of the men (Sean Patrick Flanery) asks to stop by a bank to pick up some cash. As it turns out, he is a wanted bank robber who uses Shakespeare passages during his robberies and thus has become known as "Hamlet". Soon all five men are caught up in the bank and involved in the robbery as they end up in a hostage situation. The hostage negotiator (Fred Ward) shows up who turns out to be Hamlet's father. As the men are all known to those being robbed, this quirky comedy takes a left turn as their hostages all work to support the men.

    This movie is funny. The insanity that breaks out when the best man robs a bank before the wedding is hilarious. I actually made a lesson out of this for student teaching-a paper comparison with Shakespeare's Hamlet and this movie that the kids ate up (high school seniors so th...( read more)ey could handle the few adult themes).
