He stole the money... and he's not giving it back.
Best friends Charlie Carbone (Jerry O'Connell) and Louis Booker (Anthony Anderson) are both struggling to get ahead in life - but their approaches couldn't be more different.
Louis is an eternal optimist, which is a good thing considering he's also a magnet for bad luck. Ever since he saved Charlie's life 20 years ago, Louis has embroiled them in a series of shady get-rich-quick schemes, which has only compounded Charlie's reputation as the ultimate loser in the eyes of his intimidating stepfather, mob boss Sal Maggio (Christopher Walken).
More sceptical and low-profile than Louis, Charlie just wants to play by the rules, meet the right girl and make a success of his new business, which is tough with Sal skimming all the profits. But when Louis recruits Charlie to help him escort a truckload of stolen TVs across town, they inadvertently lead police straight to Sal's warehouse, jam-packed with hot property.
Just when it looks like the guys might wind up sleeping with the fishes, Sal decides to give Charlie and his bumbling sidekick one last chance for redemption. All they have to do is deliver $50,000 cash to one of Sal's associates in a remote outpost... the Australian outback!
Special Agent Matti
There's a kangaroo and there's some dumb Yanks wandering around the outback and there are some camels (camels are always good for a laugh) and there are some dumb Aussie psycho alcoholics, just like in real life.
