Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great cast combination to support ridiculously funny plot.

It's a pretty funny movie. With good actors in the movie.

Good way to kill an evening. The thought that someone strapped to a bomb could be funny is hilarious. The ending should have been tightened up.

Funny could've been better not the typical Jessie eisenberg role.

It was on sale over the holiday's so I added it to my collection.

not the best, not the worst. i MIGHT watch it again, maybe

I only bought this because it was buy one get one free. Not really a funny movie. With the case I think it had more potential. It will now just sit and collect dust

Someone straps a bomb to your chest and tells you that if you don’t rob a back and return with at least $100,000, they will detonate the bomb and kill you. What do you do? That question is put to Jessie Eisenberg in this film as he portrays a pizza delivery man who is certainly unhappy but far too much of a slacker to make any serious effort to change his circumstances. Nick (Eisenberg) runs to his closest friend for help. Of course they have just had a falling out and Chet, a teacher, (played by stand-up comedian Aziz Ansari) is very surprised to see him. Even more so when he sees the explosive device and realizes his friend just brought a bomb to a school full of innocent children. Soon Chet agrees to help and the robbery becomes inevitable. There has been a small degree of criticism for making a comedy film about circumstances which are eerily similar to those of another pizza delivery man in Pennsylvania. Of course, the man in that case was not an unwitting accomplice but was in fact in league with the robbers and simply believed the bomb was not real. Oddly enough, an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent bares an even more similar storyline and predates the Pennsylvania case and an episode of Bones that also contains a plot with many similar elements came and went with no such outrage. That said, the film is a comedy and achieves it’s objectives with relative ease. Eisenberg is seen here with his usual mannerisms but without the intelligence he’s previously displayed in films such as The Social Network and Adventureland. Aziz Ansari is passable as the best friend and the would-be killers, played by comedian/actors Danny McBride and Nick Swardson are funny, though not particularly frightening without explosives. All in all, it’s a solid comedy, a good time, and not much else.

I liked this movie, even in spite of all it's structural flaws (And there were many). The reason? Quite simply it's the cast. the way they bounce off one another, the way the dialogue is delivered, the sheer chemistry between the teams of Ansari/Eisenburg and McBride/Swardson, is fantastic and very enjoyable. The plot may be forgettable, but that just makes the cast stand out even more by comparison.

A really pretty funny movie, especially if you like Aziz Ansari, Nick Swardson and Danny McBride. If you don't, you probably take yourself too seriously and won't like it. Kick back and enjoy a crazy flick.

Great movie to kick back and laugh your @*% off. Laughed to I cried but still a good comedy. Third time watching this movie and will continue when family wants to watch something crazy and diffrent.

This has an original storyline with plenty of laughs to keep you interested.

This movie is hilarious. Great cast and cool extras and deleted scenes.

Based on what I saw on the trailers I thought this movie would have potential. But after watching it, it fell well below expectations for a comedy film.
