Dwayne and Travis decide to go on the criminal side by hiring a hitman to murder Dwayne's father, after some convincing by a stripper named Juicy. They kidnapped Nick, a pizza delivery guy, and strap a bomb to his chest to force him to rob a bank. Nick enlists the help of his friend Chet, a school teacher. This leads them all down a slippery slope of chaos spurred by naivete.
This film was directed by Ruben Fleischer. He directed one other popular comedy with the same actor Jesse Eisenberg. This film resembles a real life incident, involving Brian Douglas Wells, that only the film's writers admit to briefly knowing about it. This film takes what could've been a dramatic story and turns it into a comedy. It works well for the idea. There are moments when it causes audience's to chuckle because of the character's cluelessness. It doesn't have you bent over laughing hysterically though. The further along the film the more you want the villains, Dwayne and Travis to suffer. The narrative is confusing, because it two groups of people caught on opposite ends of the story. The basic effects in the film were good, it was cool watching the flamethrower in use.
The acting in this film was good. The fast paced read lines were good, and added a lot to the characters. Their cluelessness lead to a lot of the physical humour which allowed them a chance to react. Jesse Eisenberg played the role of Nick, the pizza delivery boy coerced into robbing a bank. He's good in this role. He gives this character the humorous in his patethicness aspect, but doesn't really make you feel sympathetic to his character. Danny McBride played the role of Dwayne, the wanna be criminal who wanted the money to murder his millionaire father. He just plays this character so well that you want him to suffer. It's similar to his other roles, and there really isn't anything new to this character. Aziz Ansari, Chet, is Nick's best friend. This role is great for establishing himself as an actor who can hold his own in a major film. Nick Swardson, Travis, plays Dwayne's best friend. He's the character who mostly blindly follows his best friend. He's really beginning to build-up his career for bigger roles, but he still needs to get out of the same type style roles.
I give this film a 3 out of 5 stars! It's good to watch every once in a while, but it's not something that you want to watch over and over again. It has its moments of humour, but it fails to deliver extreme laughs. The characters aren't made to be sympathetic.
Answer to last blog: Actress Viola Davis played the role of Ellen in the film Madea Goes to Jail.
