Can’t Live without Robbery (2002)

Ok, so several people that watch this and see my score my think I'm insane. I'm not, really. This movie made me laugh so much I couldn't help but give it an 8 score! Like the other reviewer said, you can't stop watching... it's addictive.

Story: It's a bit goofy, and light on actual plot, but for a movie about a programmer who likes to steal on the side, it's perfect. The cast is kept to a minimum so you can concentrate on the real story of bringing a family together through adversity.

Cast/Acting: There are 2 main actors, then the wife and kids. That's really it. However, the comedic acting is spot on. So Ji Sub, adorable as always, just cracked me up in ever scene. I've only watched him in serious roles until Master's Sun so I was surprised at how good he was in comedy. If I had watched this movie prior, I wouldn't have been.

Music: Not really much music in the movie, but what is there always fit the mood of the scene perfectly. No OST, obviously, but was done well.

Rewatch Value: This movie is so "Keystone Cops" funny that, yes, I would watch it again definitely. The watching value isn't in a great story, gripping drama, or mystery... it's a slapstick funny movie and those are always great for rewatching on a rainy day.

Summary: Without giving out spoilers, this is the perfect movie for when you're a tad burned on dramas. It's light, quick, funny, no romance (really) to worry about, it's just about the two main actors going man to man. There is a moral in the story, and it actually ended great. You won't have wasted 100 minutes of your life by watching.

This was a ridiculous movie, but i couldn't stop watching. There is this top notch game designer who has everything; fame, fortune, and a ridiculous hobby, being a burglar. He breaks into peoples homes not to steal but to catch them off their guard and mess with their heads. He doesn't need their money or possessions it's a game to him...all a game. Until he meets one father who is a joke and a pushover to his family, but when this robber decides to break into their home, he has to prove he is no wimp and to protect his family. That's when it becomes a game of cat and mouse between the two. Some of the movie was unrealistic yet it all fit into the plot so it seemed more believable. Funny to see So Ji Sub in a movie like this but not Park Sang Myeon. It was a funny movie, silly even, a good watch for the family.
