Set in Providence, Rhode Island, this comedy involves the humorous result of mistaken identities. An untalented singing duo, Sam (Sam Rockwell) and Eddie (Steve Zahn), are mistaken for a pair of ace safecrackers–Mitchell (Josh Pais) and Frank (Mark Ruffalo)–by Jewish Mafia bigwigs Big Fat Bernie Gayle (Michael Lerner) and Veal Chop (Paul Giamatti). The fun begins as Sam and Eddie are forced into the business, and their work conflicts with the real safecrackers.
