Uruguayan Ricagni’s picaresque American debut - a convoluted yet amusing tale of greed, chance, and coincidence, set in the titular small town, revolving around a much sought after bag of money, depicting the misadventures of a group of rogues, misfits, and chancers - proves to be a shamefully entertaining, easily forgettable piece of nonsense.
