Review of 30 Minutes or Less (2011) by Spencer S — 23 Jun 2014

30 Minutes Or Less has quite a few hilarious moments, but this is one of those comedies that appears to offer more in the trailer than the actual movie itself. For one, the story keeps it incredibly safe, with little to no suspense which is a shame because 30 Minutes or Less had a very convincing story on paper. Also, while Jesse Eisenberg plays his role very well, most of the cast simply go through the motions. Aziz Ansari doesn't even seem to care, as he says his lines with no emotion. Danny McBride and Nick Swardson are both funny, but this isn't one of their better movies due to the incredibly rushed story with a running time of under 80 minutes.

I would recommend this if you want to watch a simplistic, predicable comedy that serves up some good laughs here and there. This is nothing special by any means.
