When I first saw the trailer for Crime 101, I thought, “Jeez, are they really going that generic?” But then I eventually learned that the titular “101” didn’t refer to an introductory course but rather to the major California highway. So then I got my demented hopes up that we could be due for cameos from Fred Armisen, Bill Hader, and Kristen Wiig as their traffic-obsessed characters from SNL‘s “Californians” sketches. Of course, that didn’t actually come to fruition, but I nevertheless still want to put the idea out there, just in case the universe is in the mood to manifest anything. Anyway, I guess the moral of this movie is that if you’re a non-violent criminal, you just might be allowed to get away with it.
