About This Movie

So, 'Todos al suelo' is this quirky 1982 comedy that revolves around a ragtag group of four down-and-out characters who, in a moment of desperation, decide to rob a bank. The humor is definitely of its time—very slapstick, with a bit of absurdity thrown in. The pacing is pretty brisk, which keeps the energy up, but there are moments where it drags just a bit and feels almost like a sketch stretched too long. The performances are around that charmingly naive vibe, especially from the leads, who bring a relatable cluelessness to their heist. You can’t help but appreciate the practical effects used during their disastrous attempts; it’s all very low-budget but makes for some genuinely funny moments. It's distinct in its blend of comedy and the earnestness of its characters’ ambitions.
