Who is the Audience for This Movie?
People who like a little action in their comedies.
What I Liked About This Movie
Just by looking at the cast I knew I would at least mildly enjoy 30 Minutes or Less and if you are a fan of any of the actors you won’t find this movie laugh out loud funny but it is consistently humorous. The main reason it keeps its momentum comically for me is the fact that all of the main actors aren’t just slammed on screen at once and left to fight for whoever has the best written joke. Splitting the actors into two separate but intertwined story-lines was a very smart choice.

Surprisingly, unlike the directors last movie Pineapple Express I actually liked the inclusion of action in this movie it keeps the story movie quickly and amps up the ridiculousness factor.
What Didn’t Work For Me
30 Minutes or Less does not strive to be anything more then an average comedy.
Should You Watch This Movie?
I enjoyed it you will probably get at least a few good laughs out of it.
My Rating (Out of 13)
