Synopsis: The Wilson brothers' debut, co-written by Owen, about three suburban slackers' attempt to embark on a crime spree. Though they try their best, they are, in a word, inept. Aiming for bigger and better burglaries, they hole up at a motel, waiting to hook up with a more experienced criminal element.
Commentary by director/co-writer Anderson and co-writer/actor Owen Wilson
