Dishwasher and small-fry criminal Ray hits on a plan with his partners in crime to re-open a local pizza place and dig through to the bank down the street. As his wife can't cook pizza but does great cookies, that's what they sell. While the no-hope tunnellers get lost underground, the cookie operation really takes off and the team find themselves rich business people. But the other local money isn't quite ready to accept them.
卖花女和温莎公爵。装逼的潇洒与怯懦。天堂推落凡尘。热烈的胡闹，轻盈的反讽——我们应该好好学习伍迪艾伦。基督教的婚姻关系，他们能看懂，我们从来都看不懂。Woody is so damn handsome!。精致。可爱的小老头。有一点怪诞，有一点嘲讽。不错的故事。
