The Ladykillers (DVD review)

The Ladykillers (2004) starring Tom Hanks. Occasionally amusing, mostly disappointing caper film about a group of would-be robbers who gather in an old woman's cellar for the purpose of tunneling from her house to the money room of a casino. The thieves are bumblers, as one would expect, but their bumbling is mostly irritating instead of funny. Even Tom Hanks, as the leader of the gang, hits a sour note in his portrayal by going a bit over the top in his acting. Grade: B-
