The folks at ABC changed the title to Let's Rob ..., then to the head-scratching The Knights of Prosperity. At some point, one suspects, they will redub it Please Don't Watch This Sitcom, but don't listen to them. This blue-collar heist comedy is a riot by any name...

...Cock and Bull Story Michael Winterbottom Warning to college students: Don't rent this movie as video Cliffs Notes for that Laurence Sterne "classic" you have no intention of reading. Do rent it to see what happened to Brit humor after Monty Python. TV eminences Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon star in this postmodernist jape, which keeps interrupting the novel's tale to focus on the offscreen agitations of the cast.
