School of Thieves (1986)
MOVIE
Frenzied and lacking depth, this slapstick comedy features Italian funnymen Paolo Villaggio, Lino Banfi, and Massimo Boldi as bumbling nephews of a wealthy, bedridden uncle (Enrico Maria Salerno). Intent on mentoring the trio in the art of thievery, the uncle’s scheme quickly crumbles under their outrageous incompetence. With its chaotic energy and minimal character development, the film delivers a series of humorous misadventures that keep the pace lively, even if the plot offers little substance.
