I wanted to like it, but I didn't laugh that much. It was very odd where I couldn't tell if parts of it were supposed to be funny. There was no reason why 17 million was stolen and I find it hard to believe it was all a true story.

And i don't mean just from watching the goofballs of the story, which was sort of expected. But from having wasted two hours of my life on this crap. It seemed promising at first with brilliant comedians like Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Wiig, but the talent is completely wasted on a criminally stupid script.Ostensibly based on "a real story", but most of soup have likely been made up - from the contract killer in Mexico trying to shoot Ghantt with a musket, capturing in a bathtub, finding he has the identical name and deciding not to kill him, overpowering Mexican police at the airport, crashing the BMW at the iron gate, wife and mistress fighting at the Walmart, and so on, and on. The similarities of what happened in real life and in the movie could be summarized in two sentences. And this goes even for the general appearance of the main characters. But the final nail in the coffin is that this satire isn't even really funny.I can't believe that it was "based on a true story". And neither will anyone else with more than half a brain. Because it's not.

I have watched this film three times and enjoyed every minute of it.It's campy, bizarre and the anaconda contact-lens scene has me in stitches every time.

Only part of the movie where I laughed was when he accidentally shot his butt in the first part of the movie.Zach Galifianakis is never good as a lead actor - he always plays a lovable retard, and for that reason, he's only good as a supporting actor.The story was OK when it was following the actual story, but once it started deviating, Galifianakis suddenly became 007 for a short while, which was just ridiculous and not keeping with the theme at all.Another turnoff is that the movie appears to mock and make fun of people living in rural areas.It's like a cross between "Pain & Gain" and "Nacho Grande", but it just fell flat. It had no pizazz. It was lame.
