Spring Eddy is a crime-comedy film directed by Joshua Michael Stern. It stars Mila Kunis as Jeannie and Peter Sarsgaard as Eddy. The film was released in 2007 and received mixed reviews.
The film follows the story of Eddy, a small-time criminal who flees to Mexico after stealing from his boss. On the way, he meets a beautiful hitchhiker named Chantel, played by Jane Adams. They have a brief fling, but Chantel steals Eddy's money and leaves him stranded in Wynot, Texas.
While in Wynot, Eddy witnesses Willet Nash, the town's corrupt sheriff, commit a murder. Eddy's attempts to flee lead him to try to rob a bank, but he is caught by Nash and locked up.
To get out of jail, Eddy turns to his ex-fiancé Jeannie, who is still in love with him despite his previous betrayal. Jeannie agrees to help Eddy escape and the two embark on a wild and dangerous journey back to Chicago.

Overall, Spring Eddy is a quirky and entertaining film that offers a fresh spin on the crime genre.
