Man tends to do crazy stuffs for a woman, but stealing $17m is too crazy.

The film reminded me 'Pain & Gain', only for inspiring from the real and being the comedy flicks. Other than that there's nothing in common between them. I have been expecting a lot from Zack since 'The Hangover', but it was always the near missed opportunities. I'm not saying this was his much needed breakthrough, but quite enjoyable film.

An honest man who worked long enough as a guard for a bank, was approached by his ex colleague and her men with an offer. Since he was madly in love with her, he could not say no to it, despite he already got engaged to another woman. As planned the heist goes on and once it was done, he was ditched and ratted out. Now on the run, how he responds to it and the following events decides his fate.

Not a great comedy nor a heist film, but it had its moments. The casting was good and it was Zack's show. The rest of them were not into that much, except in the final act. Jason Sudeikis was a bonus. His appearance added more fun. Now I know why Jim Carrey opted out. Owen Wilson's part was not good enough in such a small role, he did good though. Watching it for timepass is fine or even for beyond that seems not a bad try.

"Masterminds" is the first movie in a long time where I have actually laughed out loud.

I don't know, I guess I like a bit more dumb comedies as usually I disliked previous Kristen Wiig's comedies sometimes because of the aspects in them which made them a bit boring, like Welcome To Me - here the story is quite interesting andI don't know, I guess I like a bit more dumb comedies as usually I disliked previous Kristen Wiig's comedies sometimes because of the aspects in them which made them a bit boring, like Welcome To Me - here the story is quite interesting and actually based on real events. Plus the comedic stuff isn't too over the top or too dumb. Of course it is still dumb, but it is a comedy, what do you expect? All comedies work with dumb jokes. If you don't like dumb jokes, then you need to watch different type of comedies and should have known that Galifianakis and most of the other actors there have maybe 1 or 2 comedies like that or even none?… Expand

Loved it. Screwball crime caper with gross-out gags. Coen Brothers meets Farrelly Brothers. Kate McKinnon and Jason Sudeikis stand out. Based (loosely!) on a true story.

Come on and lighten up!! No=this won't ever win any academy awards, will it make your sides hurt from laughing=YES!! If you like stupid dumb comedies like the Hangover series, Wedding Crashers, Due Date, and of course Dinner for SchmucksCome on and lighten up!! No=this won't ever win any academy awards, will it make your sides hurt from laughing=YES!! If you like stupid dumb comedies like the Hangover series, Wedding Crashers, Due Date, and of course Dinner for Schmucks then you will love this one. Zach Galifanakis is a riot and pulls off this comedy with the support of others, but most of the humor he does single handed, although hats off to Jason Sudeikis who gives him comedic support as the not so brilliant hired killer Mike McKinney. There is a laugh a minute in this movie and for me it never dulls, as literally my sides hurt as I did lots of laughing out loud. Perhaps some don't like this type of humor, but for me I love it. I will be buying this one when it comes out on dvd so I can relive the scenes and humor and one liners. I wasn't the only one in the theater lol as I heard everyone else laughing it up too. Give it a chance I don't think you will be disappointed at all, for me it will be one I relish over and over.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Zach is hysterical!

Zach commits 100% to his roles, and gives himself wholly to this semi-true story, exaggerated for comic effect. I love a good slapstick, juvenile comedy especially when it's in the nuanced hands of actors like Galifinakis and Wiig. Hess has made me laugh hard before, and after a few turkeys, I wondered if he could repeat the trick. All I can say is I had a great time watching this one, and I laughed out loud a lot. Good comedies are a rare breed, and Masterminds is among my faves.… Expand
