Best Men
1997 · Movie · 89 min. · United States
After three years in prison Jasse Chandler has just been released and he is going straight from the jail to marry his girl friend. At the penitentiary 4 friends of Jasse are waiting him in tuxedos. En route to the wedding, one of the men asks to stop by a bank to pick up some cash. As it turns out, he is a wanted bank robber who uses Shakespeare passages during his robberies and thus has become known as "Hamlet". Soon all five men are caught up in the bank and involved in the robbery as they end up in a hostage situation. The hostage negotiator shows up who turns out to be Hamlet's father. As the men are all known to those being robbed, this quirky comedy takes a left turn as their hostages all work to support the men.
