Right behind Lola, we have Bonnie and Clyde. It's the story of two people (three guesses what their names are) who go on a mad robbery spree across the depression-era south. Along the way, they deal with complex issues like love, erectile disfunction, and banjos. Especially banjos. It's a Robin Hood tale that leads them, and the other members of the Barrel Gang, down the long road of crime and punishment.
My synopsis may seem rather short and vague, but that's only because Bonnie and Clyde has a whole lot of action and (mostly unintended) humor without actually having a complex plot. It's the age-old tale of Girl catches Boy trying to steal her mother's car, Girl runs away with Boy, Boy and Girl go on crime spree. What more is there to say? The acting's painful at times and more than one of the characters left me wishing for a horrible cliff-related accident. Still, there are worse things (like subtitles).
Bonnie and Clyde gets a four out of five, with the understanding that I'm being generous. I know a lot of people didn't like it, but I think their attitude might be different if they had been close enough to my table to hear the occasional comments that were exchanged. Banjos may never be the same again...
