00:00 Joe Keery from Stranger Things is breaking the law in Crime Caper Marmalade, the direct
00:05 to all debut of actor Keira O'Donnell. He was the bad guy in Paul Blart. Keery is a
00:09 small town guy struggling to pay for his mother's meds when Camilla Marone's Marmalade drives
00:14 into his life and encourages him to rob a bank, a story he relays to his cellmate Aldous
00:19 Hodge who might help him break out of jail. Keery does well as the long-haired mama's
00:24 boy who's none too bright, but much of the show is stolen by Marone as the pink-haired
00:28 title character, a manic pixie type who you're not sure if she's actually in love with him
00:33 or just manipulating him.
00:35 By about the halfway point, I kind of thought I had this movie pegged as a sort of sleepy
00:38 Bonnie and Clyde riff and I've seen that kind of movie before, and then it turned out
00:43 I was wrong. Things get very interesting in the final third through a series of wild,
00:48 improbable plot turns that reveals that it's actually something much more sly and clever
00:53 than it first appears to be, while still remaining quite sweet, and this is actually a quietly
00:58 surprising movie.
