Starring: Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride, Aziz Ansari, Nick Swardson
McBride plays a slacker who needs some money. He and his cohort Swardson devise a plan to kidnap a pizza boy (Eisenberg) and strap a bomb to him. They tell Eisenberg if he robs a bank for them they will disarm the bomb and let him go. Eisenberg enlists the help of his childhood friend Ansari to assist in the heist. With the stakes so high a violent ending is almost inevitable.
The plot is ridiculous but humorous. However, it becomes downright depressing if you are unable to block out the fact that this really happened to someone and it didn’t end well.
The 4 leads all have their funny moments but McBride takes the cake. The movie has laughs but never really gets beyond the “OK” to “Average” range.
3 out of 5
come on, the cast alone makes it a 4 out of 5!
