10 Crime Movies With Really Stupid Characters (Collider)

"A continually reliable way to make a crime movie also function as a comedy is to populate it with characters who are, bluntly put, idiots. It's not a requirement of crime/comedy hybrid films, and there are crime films with more serious elements that also have characters who aren't the sharpest tools in the shed, but the comedy genre and on-screen stupidity seem to go hand in hand. Gangster movies of old tried to avoid glamorizing crime by showing its consequences, usually through rise-and-fall narratives, but it's been a little trendier in recent decades to deglorify crime by making criminals look like fools. The following movies do this well, each having some (though not necessarily all) of the characters come across as bumbling and/or a little lacking in the common sense department." - collider.com
