30 Minutes or Less

Movie: 30 Minutes or Less

Genre: comedy

Synopsis: Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) and Chet (Aziz Ansari are best friends. Chet is a high school teacher, Nick delivers pizza.  Dwayne (Danny McBride) and Travis (Nick Swardson) are two idiot brothers who spend their days shooting water melons and wishing their rich father would die so he would stop bugging them and leave them his money.   Dwayne and Travis concoct a plan to force Nick to rob a bank for them so that they can use the money to hire a hit man.

My two cents: Not my favorite movie of the year.  I kept watching Jesse Eisenberg and wondering why he would take such a light-weight role after his amazing performance in Social Network.  There were a lot of laughs, but not enough to save it.  I also thought that things slipped a bit too much over to the dark side – especially with Dwayne and Travis.
