Overprotective Dad has been disambiguated


* OverprotectiveDad: Hilariously so. Her dad (Farina) is upset that Karen is having an affair with Ray Nicolette, a married DEA/FBI agent... and yet seems more than willing to encourage her "pursuit" of bank robber Jack Foley knowing full well what Jack and Karen's "Time Outs" really mean.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Both Jack and Buddy. Jack is described as good looking, but nothing like George Clooney, and he reminds Karen of Harry Dean Stanton (his demeanor, not his looks) which Clooney doesn't convey at all. Buddy is more like an older White Boy Bob in the book.

* RatedMForManly: Has a cast line-up - not just the guys like Clooney, Rhames, Farina, GUZMAN! and Cheadle but also the ladies like Lopez and Nancy Allen - that makes Rated M movies on a regular basis, involves a heist, and relies on a Elmore Leonard novel to provide cool dialogue and cooler anti-heroes. It's also a surprisingly great date movie thanks to the romantic chemistry between Jack and Karen.
