This damn pandemic has been hard on all of us, and even though for awhile there we thought the service industry was hit the hardest, we forgot about the B&E (breaking and entering) game. I mean sure you, can’t run a profitable restaurant without in-person dining etc, but try having a career based solely on robbing houses while people aren’t home during this, it ain’t happenin’!
Kevin Hart feels the pain in the 2002 comedy Paper Soldiers, playing the role of Shawn, an overeager burglar already on parole but lacking the ability to provide for his family. Hoping to make ends meet, he decides that the B&E game is where the money is, and asks an old school thief to show him the ropes. Unfortunately for Shawn, a neighborhood hothead with a hair-trigger temper takes a liking to him, ensuring that any chance of success in his new endeavor is short lived. Paper Soldiers is a funny under-the-radar comedy nobodies heard of, but it is worth checking out.
Paper Soldiers is currently available on Starz and on DVD through Best Buy, Target, or Wal-Mart for the very reasonable price of $7.99. Watch the trailer below.
