For what it is "30 Minutes or Less" is a good comedy with some more then amusing parts in it. Seeing that this is by the same director as "Zombieland" makes sense, however this one is not nearly as good.

One thing I wanted was for the character's to be a little more defined especially Jesse Eisenberg's and Aziz Ansuri's characters. It seemed they just seemed to be going through the motions of what the movie required.

But I digress this is not the type of that requires much analyzation since it's plot starts with the two most dim witted criminals you have every seen and they devise a scheme so convoluted that they should have just gotten drunk and forgot the whole thing.

The charm of this movie resides in the comedic moments that come about during the execution of the scheme. The way that Eisenberg and Ansuri prepare for the robbery is perhaps the best part of the movie (with exception to the final confrontation). The little comments and jokes exchanged during the film we're a hit and miss with some of them be extraordinarily funny.

I saw this movie with a couple buddies of mine which is probably the only way to completely enjoy it. So I would suggest this movie for what it is, a good fun movie that will make you laugh.
