Cute, quirky love story between a con and a mark. The previews looked interesting...
I heard an interview with the writer and he wanted to try a different take on the traditional detective story where you know what happened and spend the time trying to deduce how it happened and who did it. Here, you watch it unfold from the ones "who did it" as they are doing it. It still takes you through all the same twists and turns. It is fun at times, but think it actually loses you through several plot twists. Also, even though it's not overt, you pretty much know what's going to happen and it's really just a ride to see how it all gets there.
Mixed review. I'd call this one a renter...
