A pure-style New York comedy of misfits trying to meet ends with crimes going instantly wrong.
And New York landscapes are great as usual.

Overlooked and very good slacker crime movie
Added 12/25/2005
Despite the slow pacing, this cast of slacker wannabe criminals delivers a comic romp of an attempt at an armored car robbery. Gallo's character truly makes the movie, with his expostulations at his crime team. He pontificates on proper criminal behavior and how to get ahead in life (while failing miserably on his own). Gallo plays a lighter, if still strange, character than he does in Buffalo '66, which is also highly recommended.

Even Mr Gallo can't save this movie
Added 3/11/2005
I'm a Gallo's fan. I expected a lot of this movie, the actors and de ratings was very good. But...believe me, don't waist money and time. The director didn't know what to do, the actors didn't know how to act. Incredible. Horrible. Boring.

LOVABLE LOSERS
Added 9/2/2004
A knobby but charming take on criminal wannabes, not the blood-ridden "Reservoir Dogs" variety but the kind who smear black Cherry polish on plastic Mattel guns from the corner store in hopes to pull off a bank robbery.
Which ends up as an occasionally drifty but generally charming caper, strewn with quirky half laughs and bittersweet observations about realities of modern life. Some isolated scenes fail to work, but overall Palookaville zooms along to a surprisingly chipper ending.
The DVD has some interesting interviews, esp when the director speaks of his inspirations (Italo Calvino of all people!) and the point behind the title (which harks back to Marlon Brando of yore).
A rewarding rental.
