I was excited to see the movie, as I work next to the location they were using to film it, parked the cars, etc. I will say it's a disappointment. poorly done, language used was not necessary and it certainly was not funny. I'm glad I waitedI was excited to see the movie, as I work next to the location they were using to film it, parked the cars, etc. I will say it's a disappointment. poorly done, language used was not necessary and it certainly was not funny. I'm glad I waited for the DVD to come out, and also glad I got it for free. This is certainly a poor movie. Too much cussing, too much sexual reference, and not funny at all. I can't say anything positive, except when it was finally over. It was a waste of time.… Expand

Simply put, this movie fails in almost every area. The unnecessarily raunchy jokes fall flat and feel out of place, the characters are all rather unlikable, and the whole movie just feels awkward and unintelligent. Overused cuss words detractSimply put, this movie fails in almost every area. The unnecessarily raunchy jokes fall flat and feel out of place, the characters are all rather unlikable, and the whole movie just feels awkward and unintelligent. Overused cuss words detract from the dialogue, and most of the jokes made are - to say it blatantly - idiotic. I was disappointed; I think this movie had a lot of potential, but the writers and actors failed to deliver anything worth watching. Even the mildly exciting action scenes were all cut short or performed poorly.… Expand

Super boring! There was no funny parts. And all the humor was either lame or super dry. The script full of cussing isn't really comedy.

This movie had so much potential but it just failed! BAD MOVIE, DON'T EVEN BOTHER WASTING YOUR MONEY ON THIS CRAP.… Expand

As the movie went on I actually hoped it would live up to it's title and last 30 minutes or less. Unfortunately it went on for a soul-sucking 83 minutes.

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 myYou 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.… Expand

There is noThis is one of the dumbest movies I have ever seen in my life, I honestly feel embarrassed that I even watched it. To give it a 1 is being generous. Most of the guys in the film are damn funny, but here this just seems forced. There is no chemistry whatsoever and the script was seemingly written by a seventh grader. Unless you are 13, you will be struggling to find anything remotely humorous or entertaining about it. Aside from a couple (and I literally mean a couple) good laughs, some decent directing and special effects, this film is a total waste of time. Don't even spend a dollar renting it at the Redbox because you will regret it. If you watched this flick, laughed your ass off and totally disagree with this review, then please do the world a favor and go out to the garage, start up the car with the door shut and pretend you have just robbed a bank and are now speeding around town in a classic Datsun with your Indian buddy...it will all be over soon...… Expand

Eh it was a rather generic comedy. It started off promising but it got so corny and stale that it just ruined the whole experiance of it. Wouldnt recommend this.

How did people even let this swill into our theaters? This movie just combines everything a twelve year old boy would love and shoves it into a ninety minute supposed comedy that goes by like four hours.

La premisa es prometedora, un chico cualquiera es secuestrado por un par de ladrones y lo obligan a robar un banco porque le instalaron al cuerpo una bomba de tiempo. Pero la idea se cae a pedazos cuando notas que los tiempos de dedicación a cada escena están mal organizados, me interesaba ver cómo se planeaba el robo o como lo ejecutaban que ver a los villanos hablar.
Mi recomendación es que pasen de largo con esta, no tiene muchos atributos como para recibir una oportunidad. Quizás si es lo único para ver en TV por cable, pero ni así.… Expand

Few films manageThe first film I have seen where it feels like parts of my brain have bled and flowed out through my ear canal and onto the floor. I only have five words to perfectly define this film: Vapid, mean, ugly, unfunny, and stupid. Few films manage to piss me off with their lowbrow sense of "humour" and this one does. Everybody involved in this project should be ashamed and embarrassed about themselves because they have contributed time into something that is not qualified to be a comedy...let alone something to watch for 1 hour and 20 minutes. These films need to stop being produced because entertainment is made for the sake of entertaining us as human beings; not as pieces of filthy frigging garbage. So yes, this film qualifies for being one of the worst comedies (and possibly films) that I have wasted my precious time on. There is no need for you to subject yourself to this film because you, the viewer, deserve to be treated with something smarter, funnier, and more respectful. Hell, this review has taken more time and effort to write out than the writing that is present in this film.… Expand
