Welcome to the world of disorganised crime.

ComedyCrime

Two untalented singers are mistaken for a pair of major league safe crackers in Providence, Rhode Island. The two are pressed into service by the local hoodlums and quickly find themselves in conflict with their professional colleagues. Romantic interest is added by the daughter of the underworld leader who won't date the men she knows are gangsters.

VIBE

A charmingly low-stakes crime caper where mistaken identity leads to awkward situations. It feels like a quirky, character-focused indie flick with a laid-back, slightly off-kilter vibe.
