Instant Favorite.

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

The first must-see film of the year.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This movie was a complete delight surprise. Under its ugly title, there's a very funny movie, upgraded by its British background. As it happens that I like both Minnie and UK, I really appreciated it. The basic idea of turning girlish friends into blackmailers for the good cause is really intelligent and original. With Minnie and her friend, they found a great duo. Their characterization is very accurate because their plan sounds realistic and they are great standing up when things falls apart. Along them, you can find an excellent dark crook and some future Harry Potter wannabees (Mr Weasley and Dumbledore himself!). All the action is shot live in London and you can get some good slices of it, from the luxury mansion to modern flats, to train station from hospital, parks and aerial shoots.

i thought this movie was very well written. also it was very funny,no gags or slapstick just very funny situation humor. Minnie Driver looked very pretty in this movie and seeing her in this role is natural. Mary McCormack is very good too- seeing her do English accents was good. even though the two lead roles are females- i do not think this would be classified as a chick-flick- there is plenty of laughs- and a good plot-to keep you in the story. the supporting cast was also wonderful, their acting was not complicated but yet they as actors did enough to make their characters come to life. i only wish i could of written this review earlier. because maybe there would have been an even better sequel.

Two best girlfriends living in London suddenly find themselves battling wits with seasoned criminals when they decide to blackmail the culprits of a bank heist in their neighbourhood rather than reporting the crime to the police.Refusing to be played by this new competition and give up the demanded £1 million, the leaders of the gang of robbers decide to start playing dirty tricks, threaten violence and counterfeit money in an effort to throw the two women off course.......This is one of those films that I remember being advertised at the cinema, being on there for a week and disappearing without a trace. Ten years on and it pops up on sky movies at an ungodly hour.An undeserved failure when released, one feels that this suffered due to the fact that it looked too much like a 'Lock, Stock' rip off, which at the time were a dime a dozen. so i guess the public steered clear, which is a shame because despite all it's flaws, it's a very entertaining film thanks to the energy given by McCormack. Driver plays the straight woman to her mad woman and gets sidelined in the proceedings, just looking very pretty.Plans go wrong and get worse, and the film is ably supported by some great comic talent, good settings and Danny Dyer, when he wasn't an annoying cockney villain.The leads are ferocious and give the film their all, and one feels that this wouldn't have worked be it two other actresses. If you can find this gem anywhere, watch it, it's a cracking little movie.

Just delightful. An undiscovered gem (cubic zirconium?). Minnie Driver and Mary McCormack are a sharp and natural comic team. Unexpected touches of humor, excellent character actors, good plot. Oh, just watch it and enjoy yourself. I guarantee you will be quoting some of the better lines afterward.How many movies give you a rabbit who is apparently immune to machine gun fire (aside from Bugs Bunny)?Where else can you see Minnie Driver blasting a machine gun and laughing madly?And if you loved Mary McCormack in The West Wing... watch her suffer with a hangover while doing voice-overs for an animated alien tomato... (we've all been there, right?)
