Two couch potatoes sit in the suburbs, hypnotised by the TV (aka, the Idiot Box). They hatch a crazy plan to rob a bank, and things go comically wrong from there. An average concept and plot is wonderfully executed and realised by strong direction and very talented acting. An ode to idleness by David Caeser, who rather excels in that genre.
