30 minutes or less.... more than I was expecting!


Hilariously funny.  Jesse Eisenberg (Nick) and Aziz Ansari (Chet) play friends who are stuck in life’s hum-drum reality. Nick is a reckless pizza delivery guy whose wit in far greater than those he delivers to. He hates his job, he hates his boss, and the only ray of sunshine is his friend Chet’s twin sister Kate (Dilshad Vadsaria). The friends reveal some hilariously uncomfortable revelations and quickly build the tension that only true friends have. Danny McBride (Dwayne) and Nick Swardson (Travis) play the redneck goofball villians that would rival the “wet bandits” from Home Alone. The play side-splitting believable misfits that plan to gain Dwayne’s father’s (Fred Ward) lottery winnings by having him killed. The problem is, the need $100,000 and a patsy to do it. Nick finds himself at the mercy of the dumb-namic duo. He has to rob the bank and bring back the money or else the bomb that has been strapped to him will go off.  If there’s a chance you may die in an explosion and take out innocent bystanders, who else would you need with you but your best friend in the world!   
It is hard not to root for Nick and Chet in this humorous tale as the friends bumble their way through the day to get the $100,000. Though not as action packed as many other shows coming out this summer, there are some good car chase scenes and this movie quickly makes up for its lack of star power with entertaining quips and interactions from start to finish. Every character adds a bit of humor to the movie. If you’re looking for a movie to make you laugh out loud, this is it. Let the amusement begin!  There is some vulgar language, but it adds to the character development.
