Somehow this movie seems rather crazy and extremely silly. A gang of would-be thieves gets far more than they bargained for when they undertake Criminal Ways.
We have four winners from our giveaway of Criminal Ways. The winners are Michelle B. (5), Deb C. (31), Ken Robinson (79) and Kerri (118). Congratulations!
Suburban song-and-dance man Danny (Nick Giannopoulos, who also directed) has all the passion and devotion in the world for the performing arts, but not a lick of talent. His career – teaching at his showbiz mother’s theatrical school – is going nowhere. But everything changes when Danny is hired to turn a clan of shady crooks into a children’s performing group.
The gang, led by hardened criminal Marcus (Russell Dystra), looks to infiltrate billionaire Aurora Van Dyke’s (Lena Cruz) grandson’s birthday party and steal her multi-million dollar diamond necklace
. Danny is reluctant to go along with the plan, and then he meets Marcus’ enchanting sister Kirsty (Isla Fisher, Confessions of a Shopaholic). Sure enough we witness love at first sight. Danny’s all in and The Wannabes are born.
The intended heist is horribly bungled but The Wannabes – includinglast minute replacement Danny – turn out to be a tremendous hit! Soon swamped with bookings, TV appearances, magazine covers and chart-topping CDs, the would-be criminals find a lucrative new profession.
But the past has a way of catching up to you and soon they’re back in the crime game putting their new-found fame and fortune – not to mention the joy of thousands of little fans – all on the line.
Does this sound like a crazy movie? Good.
