Our Weekend & Movie Review

We had a great weekend full of laughs!

Friday after work Adam and I tried out a new Pizza place that was pretty good.  Then we hung out with his sister, her boyfriend, and their friends for a while.  Saturday, we ran our errands, watched a movie, and then went to see his sister’s new house that they are buying.  Can’t wait to help her start decorating in a month! We have to get it ready for their baby that will be here in Feb! Then we all headed to a little place to eat and hung out on the patio for about an hour chatting and loving the cooler weather (only lasted 1 day). Sunday, we had breakfast, went to TJ Maxx, PetCo, and a tool place that Adam wanted to visit!  We didn’t have much time really at home but it was still a fun weekend!

OK, on to the movie review.  We decided to see a movie called 30 Minutes or Less.

We were afraid it was going to be dumb.  It seems like all the comedies have just gone down hill.  They are either about pot smoking dumbasses or just not thought out at all as far as plot.  Well this movie proved that there are still some good comedies to be seen!

About:
Two guys need $100,000 so they kidnap a pizza deliver guy, strap a bomb to his chest, and make him rob a bank within 10 hours.  The pizza guy enlists the help of his best friend.  This is a hilarious movie about the plight of this guy trying to rob a bank and not get killed.

“Rated R for crude and sexual content, pervasive language, nudity and some violence”

1.  Did the trailer/preview give the entire movie away?
NO! Surprisingly not at all.  I was very impressed with how much depth and comedy this movie had.

2.  Is this a MUST see in the theaters or do you wish you had just rented it or is it that bad that you would have to wait for it to be free on TBS?
It wasn’t an action packed block buster so I wouldn’t say it’s a must see in theaters but I would definitely recommend it for “mature” audiences.  I would definitely see it again.

3.  Which movie star do you think MADE this movie?
Jesse Eisenberg (from Social Network & Zombieland) and Aziz Ansari.  Jesse has great comedic skills.  I loved him in Zombieland and he was great here too.  This is the first time I’ve seen Aziz in a movie.  He hosted the MTV movie awards last year (or the year before) and was hilarious.  He had me rolling with laughter!  Danny McBride & Nick Swardson also lived up to their comedic skills.

4.  Predictability?
0%.  It’s not that it really had any big major plot twist but that it was just so surprisingly funny that I left the theater saying WOW.

5. Rating?
8 out of 10!
