Movie #166 "The Maiden Heist" is a quirky film with three of my favorite quirky actors, which increases the quirkiness factor in this flick. Macy doesn't have his clothes on a lot of the movie, and Walken stares at the "Lonely Maiden" piece of art with his bulging big eyes. Morgan Freeman just giggles at them , most of the time, and Marcia Gay Harden dons a huge New Jerseyish accent as she whines to Walken her husband about going to Florida for a vacation. Piece of trivia about this film: the "Lonely Maiden" is not a true work of art --- it was painted for this film, actually, so don't bother googling it. Overall, the film is rather slow-paced, but if you enjoy the characters like we did, we didn't mind the goofy plan and the bumbling, crazy final actions they commit to steal the works of art. It was a cute film to see with a bunch of people, and we found it quite a tease. And , of course, we enjoy heist films, so this one goes on the list as one of the goofiest.

Over the years, museum security guards Roger (Christopher Walken), Charles (Morgan Freeman) and George (William H. Macy) each fall in love with a particular work of art in their care. But now, the new curator is shipping out all three works in an overhaul of the museum's collection. Desperate to save their favorite pieces, the men hatch a plan to steal them before they can be shipped away. Marcia Gay Harden co-stars.
