Films: FEW LAUGHS TO BANK ON HERE

MARK ADAMS at the movies

SCORCHED (12A)

THE STARS Woody Harrelson, Alicia Silverstone, Rachael Leigh Cook, John Cleese.

THE STORY Crime caper comedy set in a small desert town. A group of bank workers all plan to rob their employer, with no idea that their colleagues plan to do the same thing.

WHAT'S GOOD? An impressive cast do their best to add some wackiness. Cleese has the most fun as a get-rich-quick merchant, while the likes of Silverstone and Harrelson go through the motions.

WHAT'S BAD? It is all rather uninspired and predictable.

HOW LONG IS IT? An occasionally amusing 94 mins.

FINAL VERDICT: A comedy- revenge film that largely fails to deliver.
