30 Minutes or Less:
It has been a while since my last blog because of some personal issues, but I have finally found some time to review a movie I recently watched. As you can see from the title, it is 30 minutes or less. It is about a pizza delivery guy (Jesse Eisenberg) that gets into some trouble when bomb gets strapped to his chest and his only way of getting it off safely is to come up with $100,000.00. When I first heard about the plot of the movie I was excited. It has one of my favorite actors Danny McBride, who I think is way underrated, and it was also directed by Ruben Fleischer. For those of you who don't know who Ruben Fleischer, he only directed one of the best movies of all time, Zombie Land. For those of you that haven't seen it, drop what ever you are doing and go buy it directly. Even with Danny and Ruben having their involvement in the movie, I knew better than to set my hopes up really high for the movie. Just because Nick Swardson is in it. He is just an actor I can't seem to find a reason to like. Nothing he has ever done has even come close to making me laugh and that is extremely hard to do. Okay, time to stop the complaining about Nick and get to the movie. The movie starts off showing a toking pizza deliverer that seems to of been inspired by the game taxi way to much. On the dash you see a clock ticking down which is the time he has to deliver the pizza or it becomes free. Talented as he is, it seems not every delivery can be on time every time which means he has to come up with some clever ways to cover the cost of the pizza. This is displayed in the beginning that ends with a crowd pleasing joke. Pretty much the next 40 minutes of the movie are fillers to let us know how everyone ended up to their current situation which has a lot one liners that eventually build into a fight between two best friends. It eventually becomes apparent to Danny McBride that he cant rely on his father no more so decides to take matters into his own hands. Which leads them to Strapping a bomb on Jesse. The rest of the movie is crammed full of action and scenes and to talk about them in any detail would probably spoil the majority of the movie. Because of that I will end here and say that I enjoyed the movie a lot, but I don't think its worth the 8 bucks to watch. I would suggest watching it during a matinee like I did.
Below I added a choice for you guys to vote one which includes the one I will click 'wait for matinee'. As always feel free to comment and tell me what you think regardless good or bad. Also, if there are any movies in theaters or just a random movie you think I should check out and do a review on, please feel free to post them.

Really good review. I was skeptical of the movie anyway but the commercial made it seem funny and being from the director of Zombieland I thought it would be. Do some reviews of like Captain America and Transformers or Cowboys vs Aliens. I have only seen one of those.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment. I have seen the first two and Cowboys is on my to watch list. Hopefully I will get to some time in the near future to post of my reviews. Don't forget to vote when you watch the movie and tell us if it was a matinee or not.
Good review! Totally agree with what you said about Zombie Land! I love that movie and I feel sorry for the people who haven't watched it! I mean zombie movies are so overdone and the fact that they basically made a movie explaining the rules to survival in a hilarios manner amazes me! Anyway back to this movie! I think it was a waste of not only my time and money, but also I think I left some brain cells in that theatre. I believe everyone should vote to wait til its rentable! I would go for the Redbox that way you save 7 bucks and only spend 1! lol Love the reactions chart btw!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review. Although the trailer looks funny, it doesn seem to be that good. But I'll definately have a look at zombieland ^^
ReplyDeleteThanks Diva. The movie does involve a lot of stupid humor and one liners and not a lot of though is put into it so I can defiantly see your point of view.
ReplyDeleteBrob if you haven't seen Zombie Land you should defiantly get a box of twinkies before you watch it. It will save you the time to go out and buy some immediately after.
This film sounds silly
ReplyDeleteThe film looks stupid. Pass.
ReplyDeleteI want to see this so bad! It seems kind of dumb, but those movies are the best. :b
ReplyDeleteNICE!!!!! I kinda wanna see a full movie!
ReplyDeleteThe movie is worth seeing during a matinee. 8 bucks may be a little pricey on it though.
ReplyDeleteHm, it might be something worth checking out.
ReplyDeleteThis looks Pretty good
ReplyDeleteI was uncomfortable with the movie premise because of the thing that happened in Erie, but I guess I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a film I should watch, he's a good actor and I like the films he's in (zombieland, social network) so i'm defiantly watching this one, thanks for reviewing!
ReplyDeleteLooks good
ReplyDeletegreat review.. I going to watch it this weekend
ReplyDeleteNice review. I still haven't decided whether I'm going to see this movie or not. Maybe a matinee like you suggested.

ReplyDeletegood review
ReplyDeleteThanks for commenting everyone. Next blog coming up soon!
ReplyDeleteI was going to check this out eventually.
ReplyDeletelol you know I always thought that if you put Jesse Eisenburg and Michael Cera in the same room and turned off the lights you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between the two.
ReplyDeleteMy friend made the same comment two days ago Ghervix lol.
ReplyDeletehahaha, looks really fun, nice review
ReplyDeleteI'll probably have to go see that
ReplyDeleteWatched it with my girlfriend, I was dissapointed. I probably would have enjoyed it more as a rental instead of paying $10 for it.
ReplyDeleteI like Jesse Eisenberg but I like Danny McBride more, specially on Pineapple Express. Can't wait to watch it.
ReplyDeleteNow this is something worth watching.
ReplyDeletegonna check it out when it comes on DVD most definitely. +followed
