Genre: Comedy

Released: 2001
Country: USA

When Joe (Bruce Willis) and his hypochondriac partner (Billy Bob Thornton) embark on a final string of bank heists, hoping to finance their retirement dreams, they unwittingly develop a profile as the most famous thieves in the country - dubbed "The Sleepover Bandits." Their gimmick: take the bank manager and his family hostage the night before a heist, have dinner and sleep over, then go into the bank with him in the morning before business hours. No break-in necessary; no complicated surprise midday raid. However, things get more complicated when they meet Kate (Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett), an ordinary housewife sick of her life, who joins the bandits on their cross-country spree. When Joe and Terry both fall in love with Kate, however, the group have to decide whether three is a crowd.
