The volatile duo kidnaps Nick and forces him to rob a bank. With mere hours to pull off the impossible task, Nick enlists the help of his ex-best friend, Chet (Aziz Ansari).

Critics Consensus: It's sporadically funny and it benefits from a talented cast, but 30 Minutes or Less suffers from a disjointed narrative, and too often mistakes crude gags for true lowbrow humor.

Reviews

Deep Focus Review

Brian Eggert

The comedy reaches for broad laughs of the bromance and stoner kind, but not in a good way.

Though it won't win any awards for its plot, the film does excel in the department it clearly directs all its efforts toward: dialogue.

Richard Propes

While the film is far from a disaster, from a director who's already proven he's capable of so much more it's undeniably disappointing.

Fun and funny, but also manages to tell a good, surprisingly tense story with solid characters.

30 Minutes or Less doesn't waste any time, clocking in at a brisk 83 minutes. It feels a lot longer though, as many of the jokes and (supposed) witty banter continually fall short of the mark.
