A hick-town, screwball comedy version of DOG DAY AFTERNOON, and surprisingly palatable despite its sitcom soul and star. City boy Michael Dawson (WB fixture Jamie Foxx) has a problem. His expensive antique automobile has been carjacked, his girlfriend has run
off with a group of good-looking cowboys, and he's stranded in Nowheresville, AZ, at a convenience store whose cranky yet deadpan owner (
Northern Exposure's John Collum) won't make change. Just when Dawson thinks things can't get worse, they do, of course. In lopes a spectacularly inept
gang of first-time bandits who almost immediately run afoul of a local deputy (Jake Busey). Before anybody can so much...
