This agreeable picture made in similar style to classic ¨José Maria Forqué's Atraco a las Tres¨, concerning a hold-up pulled off by a bunch of unfortunate as well as bungling people , but things go awry . There are some nice jokes in the film and the cast , playing eccentric characters , make a cosy fit . It takes a simple concept , a peculiar robbing , being schemed , planned and proceeded by botcher people and in the wake of Italian vintage films as ¨Rufufu¨ (1956) , a great Comedia all'Italiana by Mario Monicelli ; this latter was a brilliant parody to French production titled ¨Rififi¨(1956) by Jules Dassin . ¨Todos al suelo (1982)¨ is a comical and sometimes non-sense account of a bunch of lower class people from the personal , social , cultural , and economic perspective , because needing all of them , urgently, amount of money to resolve their problematic lives . This film packs extreme craziness, strange situations , swift frames , twists and turns ; but it especially contains catching touches of humor and irony . Cheesy as well as funny screenplay by prolific writer/director Mariano Ozores ; being mostly set into a bank office and adapted to Spanish characteristics by that time , including film title : Todos al suelo , regarding 1981 coup d'etat with Guardia Civil Tejero shouting their sentence at the Spanish Parliament . The flick interweaves fun comedy along with a social criticism about the Spanish economic crisis in the Eighties and a lot of fun . This film is made to entertain , and this movie , especially for a good time and a pleasant entertainment . The flick contains silly incidents , fun plot twists , tongue-in-cheek , grotesque situations and above all , humor in the most disconcerting heist ever made . Sitting in a strange middle ground between the completely absurd and the stylishly cool . This film moves in fits and starts most of which would be desirable and some moments of enjoyment and others quite a few ridiculous . The characters are quite odd , outlandish and geek and the film races on at incredible speed . Filmmaker Ozores delivers a passable comedy in which the main and support cast are pretty well . The main attraction resides in its excellent cast in which stands out Andrés Pajares , Fernando Esteso , Juanito Navarro and Antonio Ozores, all of them playing in their peculiar styles ; alongside showing up a lot of familar faces , such as : Valeriano Andrés , Alfonso del Real , Azucena Hernandez , Mabel Escaño, Paloma Hurtado , Rafaela Aparicio, Adrián Ortega, José Yepes and José Carabias .
