GOOD - Hilarious in spots and overall, a lot of laughs. Billy Bob Thornton and his hypochondriac character produce a number of those chuckles. Cate Blanchett also is a hoot in here. She has the American accent down pat and I never realized what a good comedienne should is, although I certainly am aware of her dramatic talents. Although a bit long, I didn't find that many lulls. Bruce Willis always is good in low-key roles, his "macho" Die Hard days behind him.
BAD - Another poor moral message in which we are supposed to root for the criminals (thieves, in this case). The story is ludicrous, but that's part of the comedy. There is too much profanity and usage of the Lord's name in vain here, too, for a comedy. Thorton's whining is acceptable on the first viewing, but on multiple looks it gets annoying. I rated this a '9' after the fist viewing, but it goes downhill in subsequent looks.
OVERALL - If you can take the language and overall ridiculous story, this is a very entertaining movie.
