Inspired by true crimes, 'Dumb Criminals' is Paul Fenech's latest, outrageously offensive flick.
The story follows Rabbit, Rongo and a group of fictional, dim-witted crooks and their dirty, dumb deeds as they hope to help a young girl get the medical treatment she needs. The fools attempt to raise money plundering their way through an array of poorly planned, stupidly executed and downright silly crimes.
Based on the popular webseries of the same name, the film features some familiar faces including Fenech as ‘Rabbit’, Kev Taumata as ‘Rongo’, Alex Romano as ‘Jimmy the junkie’, and Benny Maclean as ‘Pothead’. The film also features cameos from Angry Anderson, Greg King, Brendan ‘Jonesy’ Jones, and Andy McPhee.

The rude and crude film features Fenech’s trademark no-holds-barred and irreverent comedy as it follows the hilariously inept crooks in the style of series such as 'Housos' and 'Bogan Hunters'.
These are Paul's Top 5 dumb crimes from around the world which inspired film:
