Starring Adrien Brody (The Thin Red Line, The Village, Academy Award winner for best actor in The Pianist) as "Bloom" and Mark Ruffalo (View from the Top, 13 Going on 30, The Kids Are All Right) as "Stephen" - it's a story of brothers who have been con artists since they were little! After years in the business Bloom wants out, but Stephen ropes him in for one more con. Bring in Rachel Weisz (The Mummy, Enemy at the Gates, About a Boy) as "Penelope" the eccentric, bored heiress they are out to dupe. As they travel around the world you never know what is real and what is make-believe! With a supporting cast consisting of Robbie Coltrane, Maxmilian Schell and Rinko Kikuchi who stars as "Bang Bang" the brother's primarily silent explosions expert, this is a tale that keeps you guessing.
Undoubtedly one of the quirkiest movies I've ever seen, I nevertheless laughed almost all the way through!
Rated PG-13 for violence (just a bit,) some sensuality (yeah, there's a short scene or two that was unnecessary) and brief strong language (very brief.)
Fun Trivia-
Rachel Weisz learned how to play the piano, violin, accordion, the banjo, to break-dance, juggle, do karate, play Ping-Pong, ride a unicycle and even skateboard for her role as the eccentric Penelope.
