A comedy about three ordinary women who form an unlikely friendship and decide to do something extraordinary--rob one of the most secure banks in the world. Bridget Cardigan is shocked to learn that she is on the verge of losing her home and comfortable upper middle class lifestyle when her husband Don is downsized from his job. Armed only with a decades old English degree and years as a dedicated mother and corporate wife, Bridget is forced into the unfamiliar labor market with no job skills. Finally, she accepts the only position she can find--janitor at the Federal Reserve Bank. The one-time suburban mom soon discovers she has more in common with her new co-workers than she thought. Bridget forges an unexpected bond with Nina, a hard-working single mom with two kids to raise, and Jackie, an exuberant free spirit with nothing to lose. Caught up in a system that underestimates their talents and keeps their dreams just out of reach, Bridget, Nina and Jackie set out to even the score. After a lifetime of playing by the rules, the three devise a plan to smuggle soon-to-be destroyed currency out of the supposedly airtight Reserve. As the unlikely crime syndicate amasses piles of cash, it looks like they have pulled off the perfect crime--until a minor misstep alerts the authorities. With more money than they know what to do with, the women are pushed to the limits of their ingenuity to stay one step ahead of the law!

National Lampoon's Cattle Call

The film is the story of a group of friends who start a fake casting agency to meet women. Richie Rey appears to have it all—wealthy, single and president of a successful internet dating service PerfectForMe.com—but suffers from continual "unsuccessful dating exhaustion." Sherman Oaks, Richie's musician friend, proposes to start the "agency" and convinces Richie to fund the enterprise. They place an advertisement in a popular actor's magazine where they describe the part they are casting to conveniently reflect the perfect woman they are looking for. With a tremendous response, the two are forced to engage in the process of making a film, something neither of them have any experience doing. After complaints from women who do not make the cut, the two are left with actually making the film or creating the illusion they are in production. Unbeknownst to the two, the women launch a devious plot to outwit the men in a twisted out-of-left-field surprise ending.
