Good movie!

source: How to Deter a Robber
Not a bad film as such but it's not even slightly funny and noone deters a robber. Don't waste your time. Infuriating at times, slow, boring, did I mention not funny.
If you are looking for a Christmas season movie that is not your typical romcom, I highly recommend this movie. The characters were humorous and the plot was delightfully far-fetched with unexpected twists. Highly entertaining!
Good non traditional dark comedy, fun watch for the holidays. Not as predictable as most movies around this time of year. Very relatable and realistic characters, overall well written and worth the quick watch.
This was a really fun watch. I loved the specific references to the local area where it's set. It is both funny and light-heart hearted while at the same time keeps you on the edge of your seat while the characters face comical danger with the robbers.
Fun, different, darkly quirky, and entertaining, we would watch it again! How to Deter a Robber was both original and enjoyable, something I feel like is harder and harder to find in the world of streaming entertainment these days.
