Review of 30 Minutes or Less (2011) by Kevin R — 27 Apr 2012

I bought that TV so I could watch football not so you and your boyfriend could jerk-off all over it.

The son of a lottery winner plans an elaborate scheme to have his father murdered. His plan centers around kidnapping a pizza boy, strapping a bomb to him, and having the pizza boy rob a bank. The plan goes array from the very beginning.

"I'm fucking this bitch. You just hold the camera.".

Ruben Fleischer, director of Zombieland and the upcoming Zombieland 2 and The Gangster Squad (Ryan Gosling, Sean Penn, Emma Stone, and Josh Brolin), delivers 30 Minutes or Less. The storyline for this picture was awful but the comedic content was very solid and well written. The cast delivers solid performances and includes Danny McGribe, Aziz Ansari, Nick Swardson, Jesse Eisenberg, and Fred Ward.

"What, did my penis shrink to 12 inches? You're actually early for your shift.".

My wife was watching this when I arrived home the other day and there were some great lines throughout the picture so I decided to DVR this picture and give it a shot. There are some laugh out loud moments but this film starts better than it finishes. Overall, this is definitely worth watching and may even be worth adding to your DVD collection if you're a fan of the genre.

"I love that bear. I don't even fucking know you.".

Grade: B-/B (7.5).
