Review of 30 Minutes or Less (2011) by Jasher — 25 Aug 2011

You know it's bad when you are seeing a movie for free at an advanced-screening, and when it's over you still want something back in return for having to sit through a P.O.S. like "30 Minutes or Less.

" This movie doesn't deserve much of my brain power, so I am going to keep it simple: if you are going to make a "comedy" that includes racism, homophobia, violent deaths, misogyny, and is just generally all-around mean-spirited, said movie better be really funny.

"30 Minutes or Less" was painfully unfunny, and therefore was painfully offensive. The screenwriters are largely to blame, whom seem to think the key to great comedy is to throw-in the F-bomb a few times every other sentence, but the actors were generally awful too (and I say that as someone who generally likes Aziz Ansari and Jesse Eisenberg).

They all seemed incredibly unmotivated and uninspired, but who can blame them? This is one of the few films I have ever seen that I would say I actively loathe, and I felt like a worse person for having seen it.
