It ain’t brain surgery, but Dwayne (Danny McBride) hates his distant military father (Fred Ward) and comes up with a cockamamie scheme tohave him hit, so that he can inherit the million bucks his father won in the
lottery. But in order to hire a hit man (Michael Pena) it will cost him $100,000 he doesn’t have. Now all Dwayne needs
to do is find some idiot to rob a bank. Enter Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) a pizza delivery dude he promises to
deliver a pie in thirty minutes or less, which means he’ll have no problem robbing a bank in less than eight
hours (which is the time he’s allotted or the man-made bomb attached to his chest will detonate.) And when you’re
going to rob a bank, you need to involve your man-child best friend (Anzi Ansari) who’s an elementary school teacher. Now
you have two idiots trying to rob a bank, or else. Oddly, as the plot ticks away you can’t help wondering why it seems to work. It’s got all the makings of a stoner film minus any drugs yet it isn’t…and the smart-mouthed Eisenberg comes off as droll as
his Social Network character minus the brains. His character even makes reference to the fact that he “doesn’t check Facebook.” Oddly it’s a crass, naughty, script-tight-complete, 1 hour and 23 minutes of non-stop energy that has
you scratching you head and wondering when it will all explode. But it doesn’t. Well at least the movie doesn’t. The
bomb, that’s another thing. Two and a half tiaras
