Max Solomon would like to be a writer, but has to admit he’s just not
going to make it with his pen when his play, “The Onion Dance,” meets
with a catastrophic reaction in its opening performance. His best
buddies are Dave, who brownnoses his way to a monumentally boring
mid-level sales job with no future, and Tommy, a slacker best suited
for hanging out in a coffee shop and being funny. With career options
like these in front of him, Max commits an impulse bank robbery—of an
absolutely unique, but effective, sort. Holding a gun on his own head,
he relieves interested teller Lucy of the cash in her register and
rejoins his disbelieving but admiring friends. In the next three days,
more unusual robberies happen and a compelling romance blooms between
Max and Lucy while Dave and Tommy have their lives equally changed and
Max has to question his newfound success. SKILLS LIKE THIS is a
hilarious, original and freewheeling comedy with a real heart, winner
of a well-deserved Audience Award at the South by Southwest Film
Festival.
