Sleepover Bandits

This movie is about two bank robbers, Terry and Joe, that break out of prison and start sleeping over at the bank manager's houses and making them open the safes at the bank the next morning. One of the characters, Terry, thinks at some times that he is paralyzed. He always thinks that something is wrong with him especially when he is in a personal situation.

I chose this movie because it was very funny but shows a Somatoform disorder. Terry from the film has conversion disorder, a somatoform disorder in which a person appears to be, but actually is not, blind, deaf, paralyzed, or insensitive to pain.
