For years, Patrick (Jon Waters) has lived a good life, with a great job, plenty of money, and he got to see the world. Of late though, he has fallen on hard times and is now reduced to sleeping in his van and doing menial jobs. He really wants to get back to his feet and buy himself a house - but lacks the funds for a down payment. Enter his best friend Donnie (Quinn Aikele), who's well-meaning but not the sharpest tool in the shed, and he tries to persuade Patrick to pull a heist in the employ of crooked businessman Jared Rossi (Aaron Hennetty). Now Patrick's no criminal, but he's desperate enough to say yes nevertheless, and he's clever enough to actually come up with a plan to pull the thing through - even if he steps on a nail and hurts his foot badly in the process of doing so. There's just one snitch, the robbed party, Tim (Anthony Hill) took a picture of his car's license plate. So Patrick and Donnie see themselves forced to ditch the car in the middle of nowhere, and make their way back to town, circa 30 miles, on foot. And all that while Tim, a mormon bishop, has sent two potentially violent mormon missionaries after them to retrieve what's his ...

A very cool buddy comedy that might have its fair share of obvious jokes, but it never goes so far as to insult its audience's intelligence, instead shows lots of heart and is actually based on a clever script that's more than a mere hanger for the film's punchlines. And leads Jon Waters and Quinn Aikele have just the right chemistry to make this work, and they're supported by an able ensemble, all in the joke but playing it mostly straight - and for all of this, this one's definitely worth a watch.
