“The Heist of the Century”

My Rating: 3.73/4 (aka a Fun Watch)

One line summary: A ragtag group of Argentinians pull off a brilliant bank heist.

The Deets: Thanks to my awesome daughter for this recommendation; she saw this one on a recent flight and then we all watched it together. I just love movies where you find yourself rooting for the criminals. In this case, it’s a fairly harmless crime because it’s just money, and as we meet the masterminds behind the crime, we recognize these are pot-smoking revolutionaries, nothing like Neil McCauley’s crew in “Heat.” These guys have no intention of getting caught nor of hurting anyone. So the stakes are lower and the humor is high. Get it?

Perfect for: When you want a fun evening heist movie that will leave you laughing.

Where to watch: You can rent it for a bargain price of $2.39 on Amazon Prime!

Food pairing: Something, anything that will cure your munchies.
