Once again director Ruben Fleischer is teamed up with Jesse Eisenberg with this another comedy film. Their last project was Zombieland which was also directed by Fleischer and stars Eisenberg.

You won't believe it since it is a comedy film, but this film is based on real events that happened in 2003, about an unusual bank robbery that occurred in Erie, Pennsylvania.
