A breezy, silly slapstick romp where a crumbling car keeps falling apart at the worst moments, played for easy laughs.

How it feels: Light, absurd and campy. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Deception, greed, crime
Content: Mild violence. No gore, sexual content or swearing.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
