2011 has given us comedies from a sequel to a huge box office hit two years ago (The Hangover 2), to a pair of unexpected box office hits (Bridesmaids and Horrible Bosses),one that should have been a hit (The Change-Up) and a bomb (Your Highness). Add another one to the list with 30 Minutes or Less, the second feature film directed by Ruben Fleischer, who helmed Zombieland, one of 2009's best made comedy films.
He teamed up again with one of the actors of Zombieland: Jesse Eisenberg, now an Oscar nominee, for this short 83 minute film about a pizza boy (Eisenberg), who was strapped with a bomb on his chest by two dimwits played by Danny McBride and Nick Swardson, in order for him to rob a bank to get money to pay to kills McBride's character father played by Fred Ward and get his inheritance.
This is a funny film about two best friends (Eisenberg and Park and Recreation's Aziz Ansari), trying to outwit the other two best friends (McBride and Swardson). Nothing of the film's short running time was wasted and you'll laugh all the way from start to finish.
