30 Minutes or Less

This thread is getting as infantile as the film probably is!

Just finished watching this at Odeon Holloway in one of the smallest screens I've been in for a while. Comparable to Panton Street.

Maybe because the previous reviews lowered my expectations, but after a VERY slow start I actually enjoyed it. There were definitely a good amount of laughs.

Not a total waste of the evening I expected. For what it is, 6/10

Just watched this at Braehead. I don't think the film could make up what it wanted to be: a take off of other films or a comedy in it's own right. 2 people left 10 minutes into film, probably due to language in 1st scenes. There were some funny lines but it was more embarrassing than funny on the whole. So much more could have been done with the film/script to make it a comedy. There was rarely a giggle in Braehead with one or two exceptions. I was glad I hadn't pa*d! Passed a very windy evening in Scotland but would not advise any friends to go. Cinema was about 85% full despite the weather. It will be interesting to read what others thought of film!

I second that. I also enjoyed the fact that one of the ringtones in the film was Slayer's "Raining Blood".

BTW, if you wait until the end of the credits, there's an additional scene.

I swear Janet Street-Porter is stalking me. She was at the Odeon Covent Garden tonight, wandering straight past the film queue to the refreshments counter to b*y something. Of course I had to let my fellow FMUKers know - that's the only reason I joined the beginning of the queue, honest.

We all queued up at the wrong entrance to the screens and had to do a sharp about-turn when screen 1 or 2 (the one with the weird angle) finally opened for us. We all bagged the last row in the middle which is THE row to have.

I surprisingly enjoyed the movie, and the crude remarks weren't as full-on as in other films I have seen in the past. It was also quite funny and had exciting car chases.

It was riddled with inconsistencies and plotholes like a swiss cheese though - for example when Danny McBride throws his phone across the room only to find it in his pocket when it rings half a minute later.

[spoiler]Also, he had opened the money bag before so he should have been showered with the blue dye, but it only did that when Chet opens the bag?[/spoiler]

Bit disappointing that the title had not much to do with the plot really.

7/10

I quite enjoyed this, I had a vague idea of what it was about so I was pleasantly surprised. The pace was a bit wonky and some parts were a bit dodgy but it was saved by the sidekicks I thought.

Guess sitting in the back you didn't one female in front of us laughing throughout and I thought there were definitely more than one or two giggles. Would say towards the end there were peopling laughing quite loudly.

Film itself was ok. Not the best and won't win any Oscars but it is not the worst either. Some laughs from me towards the end but I guess it was because it was so stupid. The two friends of the males leads had the better lines in the film than the leads. Seen two films of Danny McBride this year now and still I can't think why he gets screen time. He can't act and he isn't funny. 4/10

I have to say, it does amaze me when people are offended by bad language in movies, even when it's cringeworthy. Sit on a bus/train with a bunch of school kids - that stuff won't affect me!

Besides, it's a film with Danny McBride so I expected nothing less, ALL he can do is be crude, cos he damn sure can't act!!!

I'm not offended by bad//crude language it's just not big or clever when kids on a bus use it nor when a film uses it in desperation to shock or get laughs. Just seems to be something to fall back on when they can't come up with something genuinely funny or shocking.
