Synopsis:
In their mid-twenties, Dylan (Dan Futterman) and Jez (Stuart Townsend) are two orphans who are over qualified and under employed. Dylan is fast talking Yank. Jez is a tongue-tied technical genius with a bad haircut.
Tired of the `rich get richer` syndrome they decide to exploit it. Their aim is to make a million pounds each and London is their oyster. They use every coupon, enter every free prize draw, and scam anyone who can afford it.
But into their lives comes Georgie (Kate Beckinsale) who has her own mission, just as driving, just as inventive, but far more altruistic. She needs money - a lot of money... and in Jez and Dylan she`s struck gold!

Your Opinions and Comments
We do get a couple of extra features - a featurette, interviews with the cast & crew, some B-Roll footage (not even worth bothering with) and a few minutes of Actor's Research which is brief but very amusing. Overall, a little disappointing (although I suppose to be expected) on the extras front - especially as some of the material is repeated.
Extras aside this is a well acted and very amusing film, well worth the purchase as it seems to be offer everywhere at the moment (£8.99 on Play.com).
