An unmotivated South Asian American rapper, along with three other first-time thieves, plans a heist on a grocery store owned by his ex-girlfriend's father, in order to steal her wedding diamonds and disrupt her pending engagement.
This film is inspired by or in the same style as a Wes Anderson film with a little NAPOLEON DYNAMITE mixed in, only set in a South Asian community in a small town.
It maintains a dry deadpan goofy innocent humor and comedic antics throughout. As the film takes a look at a community yet stays ridiculous and pure throughout.
It manages to make a small town feel epic with so little. Exposing its own universe and still being a bit romantic. Even as it maintains pretty low steaks and feels more character-based than plot-based.
The film has its own charms that retain a sweetness to it all.
Just like BOTTLE ROCKET, it revolves around a ridiculous heist that exposes their neurosis and gives them a chance to run away from their own individual problems Or dilemmas and bonds them more but also exposes that they need to move on with their lives.
But they are so likable you want to see them have more adventures and see how they grow and change though hope they don’t at their core
Grade: B
