It's not as strong as Zombieland was, but 30 Minutes or Less is still fine enough entertainment. Everyone in it has their own time to shine and while there were never die hard laughs, it was consistent in its comedy. Another plus for R-rated comedy this year. *** (B+)

30 Minutes or Less is way off beat and seriously fucked up.

All joking aside, it is gutbustingly hilarious.


258 out of 5.



(Mind you, the movie has one big sore spot - - Jesse Eisenberg. Sickening just to behold at this point in his career, Eiseneisenbergbaby repels. Fortunately, Danny McBride is rock solid as always as Dwayne, and the rest of the supporting cast from Aziz Ansari as Chet the substitute teacher, to Michael Peña as Chango the hired killer, to Nick Swarsdon as Dwayne's brother Travis are all uproarious.)

I think I laughed three times. I've never found Danny McBride or Aziz Ansari funny, and this doesn't change that. (I also tend to get really annoyed by improv movies, as you can tell you're just watching people riff with no purpose or goal to the dialogue.)

Everyone I know who saw this movie didn't like it, but I agree on Aziz Ansari. Do you watch Parks and Recreation? I'm about halfway through season 3, can't wait to be finally all caught up.

Danny McBride is a fucking asshole, and Nick Swardson is basically incomprehensible. At least Eisenberg and Aziz bring the laughs.

I just saw this. :P No I haven't watched it. I've always thought about it because of Aziz. Maybe I need to get on that.

I found it to be pretty funny but instantly forgettable. A fun time-waster.

Not bad...but I felt McBride tried too hard. It seemed out of place. And it's weird after watching The Social Network and Zombieland to see Eisenberg seem like he's just repeating a line instead of acting it, but this only happened a couple of times.
