KIDNAP MY HEART!!

This is an absolute childhood favorite, I’d like to apologize to my babysitter bc when I was 8 years old, I made her watch this movie every single day for the whole summer, and the summer after that…. and the summer after that. I’d really like to think that this movie shaped me into who I am today… a huge fangirl and really got me into my click five phase in elementary school

A true cinematic masterpiece — if your idea of masterpiece is watching five geniuses stumble through a heist like they’re trying to rob a candy store blindfolded. Every scene is dripping with that “did they actually plan this?” energy, making you question if this is a crime movie or a documentary on how not to commit crimes. But hey, it’s so charmingly awkward you can’t look away. Honestly, it’s like watching a slow-motion train wreck with a really catchy soundtrack. Bravo?
