By Chesslin Michaels

GENRE: Comedy, Family
LOGLINE: Its NOT funny..

SYNOPSIS:

Most men, hate their mother-in-laws, however very few would admit it and Len Stuart is no exception to this. He is sick and tired of being on the wrong side of a comfortable life, when it struck him his luck could change if he robbed a bank. It would be quick and easy money, a once off opportunity to be living the life. He knew that this was not a one man stunt, if he wish to succeed he would need to recruit other people. The easiest and smartest option was people he trusted, which was none other than his three best mates and partners in crime. They hit the drawing board and planned everything to the tee, well almost everything. Unknowingly they chose the same day that Len’s ex-wife and her mother (Mrs Hadley) decided to their banking. They walked in with their masks and guns. They had no intention of hurting anyone, so Len insisted that he would be the only one with a real gun and the others would use fake guns. Everything was going smoothly, they were calm and collected, men on a mission until Len saw his ex-wife and ex-mother-in-law, and it was at that moment when doubt ran through them, knowing if they opened their mouths, they would be recognised. Len and his friends’ nerves were increasing and they kept looking at one another anxiously, trying to find a solution or a way out of this stupid situation. On the other hand, Mrs Hadley, being true to her nature, ignored the robbers commands and began making snide comments, each one getting louder as they came out of her mouth. The last comment she made, was that these robbers reminded her of the stupid lazy moron her daughter was married too. Len, after hearing that, was unable to control himself, seething with anger and disgust, turned his gun on her and that is when all hell broke loose.
