Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

Titreenp SERIOUSLY. This is what the crap Hollywood still puts out?

Michelle Ridley The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

cinecarl I love movies about outsiders and this is one of my favorites.Forget that it's supposed to be a heist movie; the three friends were never capable of that level of coordination. But there is a remarkable chemistry between them and paricularly with the women in the story. Gallo is quite magnetic in the lead and has a wonderful rapport with both his girlfriend and an older hooker.Forsythe can be over-the-top in many films, but here he settles down and adds a touching counterpoint to Gallo. I mostly credit director Taylor for this small treasure because he has shown the same kind of class in his Napoleon film, "Emperor's New Clothes." Check out both of these films.

heywood100 So-so comedy heist movie about three friends trying to think of a way to make some money (though actually getting a job never seems to occur to them). Starts with a suprisingly unfunny jewellery store robbery gone wrong and continues to go nowhere throughout. None of the characters are particularly likeable, but the worst offender is Vincent Gallo, who for some reason seems to be trying to act like Quentin Tarantino. Instead of using Tarantino's questionable acting skills the makers should have tried to be more like him in the script department. But they haven't. And Palookaville is boring and goes nowhere as a result.

GillianS In the vein of "Small Time Crooks" and "Trapped in Paradise," "Palookaville" tells the story of three screw-up, would-be criminals (Forsythe, Gallo and Trese) and their quest for the perfect crime. The film opens with a foiled jewelry store robbery that find the trio in a bakery instead of its neighboring store. The whole situation is goofy in an endearing way, especially when we find Trese crouched on the floor, hiding from police yet all the while chowing down doughnuts and brownies. With this film, Parker creates a familiar oddball trio with, while not completely appealing personalities, an overall charming combination. Forsythe's seriousness plus Gallo's wit and Trese's goofiness makes a film that made me laugh out loud and left me smiling, but in an independent rather that cheesy way. Definitely recommended.

Thaleia A trio of small town friends intent on pulling off a big-time burglary. Nothing in life seems to favor them and this heist won't either. The cast is young and fresh and the plot is humorous and exciting. Extremely watchable. Good flick for a pick-me up some night.
