Former music-video director Tamra_Davis (Guncrazy) created strong characters in this bank-robbery tale, a crime/comedy/drama somewhat reminiscent of the anti-establishment attitudes seen in early '70s films. After three years in a California prison, Jesse (Luke_Wilson) is ready to marry his girlfriend Hope (Drew_Barrymore) in the town of Independence (the original working title of this film). Joining Jesse is a odd assortment -- the buzzcut ex-Green-Beret Buzz (Dean_Cain); ex-lawyer Sol (Mitchell_Whitfield); geeky Teddy (Andy_Dick); and Shakespeare-quoting Billy (Sean_Patrick_Flanery), aka Hamlet on the FBI's most-wanted list. Then they're off to the wedding. Billy, however, asks to be dropped off at a nearby bank, and after it's evident that Billy is pulling off another Hamlet heist, the others join him inside. Billy's father, Sheriff Phillips (Fred_Ward), up for re-election, begins hostage negotiations, but the media arrives, along with psycho FBI agent Hoover (Raymond_J._Barry) and his partner Carter (Art_Edler_Brown). Wearing her wedding dress, Hope goes inside the bank. Soon various friends and locals gather outside to offer support as the hostages take the side of their captors. In addition to portraying agent Carter, Art_Edler_Brown is the film's co-producer and co-scripter. Bhob Stewart, Rovi
