Why these movies?
The story pattern: The narrative typically follows a straightforward but frantic chain of events: an ordinary person stumbles upon something valuable (like money or information), which immediately puts them in the crosshairs of both criminals and authorities. The plot is driven by a series of chases, close calls, and mistaken identities, all played for laughs.
Why they belong together: These films are grouped together because they share a specific mix of a crime plot with a comedic, lighthearted execution. The focus is on the chaotic journey and the humor derived from the protagonists being in over their heads, rather than on the emotional weight or moral consequences of the crime itself.
