"A Bad Idea Gone Wrong" (2017) lives up to its title, delivering a hilariously chaotic and increasingly dangerous situation when a trio of inept criminals attempts a simple house robbery that spirals wildly out of control. Imagine Leo, Marlon, and Sean, three bumbling and thoroughly unprepared individuals, thinking they've hatched a foolproof plan to break into a seemingly empty house. However, their incompetence is matched only by the unexpected obstacles they encounter, turning their straightforward heist into a night of escalating mishaps, accidental mayhem, and desperate attempts to cover their tracks. This isn't your typical crime thriller; it's a farcical comedy of errors where every bad decision leads to even worse consequences, leaving the hapless robbers in a predicament far more complicated and dangerous than they ever imagined.
This quirky indie comedy leans more into heart than heist. What starts as a bumbling break-in quickly turns into an oddly sweet character study, with unexpected charm and emotional depth hiding beneath the surface. The chemistry between the small cast feels genuine, and while the plot is simple, the film's offbeat humor and subtle tension keep it engaging. Not a blockbuster, but a quietly satisfying watch for those who enjoy clever dialogue and human flaws.
