The only scene image/plot idea I have is two robbers robbing a nice house (maybe on the beach). There are occupants in the house (maybe a boyfriend and girlfriend) who end up siding with the robbers and maybe even suggest they change their tactic on what to rob. Despite the fact that I believe the girlfriend is there with a boyfriend, I think she falls for one of the robbers.
I’m so fuzzy on the actors that I almost hate to mention any, but I have it in my head that one of the robbers (which the movie follows as the lead protagonist) is a comedic actor like Woddy Harrelson, Steve Buscemi, or Danny Devito–a large and varied range, I know). The girl reminds me of Alicia Silverstone but could just as easily be someone like Beidget Fonda.
This came to mind:

@Roxanne, that’s not the one, but thanks for the help! I’m more sure now that Danny Devito is not the lead.
Ok I know 80’s very well and 90’s and when you bring up Silverstone, it throws me off. I’m thinking. Give me a day or so. When you say it’s a couple, that’s good. Lets try ‘Lena’s Vacation’ now I’m just throwing out guesses.
Two If By Sea
@chickhabit, 1996 is later than I remember seeing this movie, but this preview is jogging memories. The Dennis Leary/Sandra Bulluck pairing definitely feels right, and that large white house is definitely on target. I’m going to give this a watch and confirm, but I’m sure enough that we should call this one “solved”.
I’m amazed that you pulled this movie out of what little I gave you, especially since a lot of my details are way off. Nicely done!
Nice start to your movie-solving career chickhabit!
Well the thing about this is that, it has the couples and Sandra starts to fall for the guy as you described and the FBI agents if I can remember are bad guys I think so you had the general formula down.
Watched and confirmed “Two if By Sea” is the movie I was thinking of.
P.S. Sandra Bullock doesn’t fall for one of the robbers. She is one of the robbers and semi-falls for one of the neighbors.
