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

| Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 9, 2023

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.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 30, 2020

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/4.0 | Sep 24, 2020

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

| Original Score: B- | Jul 11, 2020

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.

Watching two bright but slightly clueless guys trying to get out of a bad situation is grand fun.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jan 8, 2019

30 Minutes or Less wasn't terrible and when it did make me laugh, it made me laugh a lot. It was just built on the wrong comic premise.

I guess it goes down easy enough, however bland and familiar. Kind of like a cheap pizza. Remember to tip your driver.

Jesse Eisenberg goes from the smartest guy in the room in 'The Social Network' to the most gullible dork in the pizzeria.

| Original Score: D | May 26, 2013

30 Minutes Or Less has enough of both action and comedy to appeal to multiple demographics, and as far as crude comedies go it's a fun watch.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Sep 23, 2012

This is a breezy, fun, and funny film that doesn't waste any time in getting its story told by propelling its characters into one crazy situation after another.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 19, 2012

30 Minutes or Less lacks logic, and it doesn't make use of its title concept in any interesting way, but the film is funny, fast and entertaining through-and-through.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 29, 2012

The movie unfurls without rhythm, momentum or visual flair, but at a furious pace.

| Original Score: D+ | Dec 28, 2011

A raunchy heist comedy with a pace as fast as its dialogue, '30 Minutes Or Less' will have you laughing out loud.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Dec 22, 2011

The film contains a remarkable level of violence, yet never establishes a tone that would make it seem funny or truly shocking; the jokes flounder in an air of half-hearted spite.

| Dec 6, 2011

...there's simply never a point at which the film's one-dimensional characters become compelling enough to warrant all this action and mayhem...

| Original Score: 2/4 | Nov 25, 2011

A consistently funny, well acted and fantastically short - basically 80mins - little comedy that's more than deserving of your time.

| Sep 19, 2011

30 Minutes or Less is almost as dumb as its wannabe criminal geniuses, but the film barrels along at such a pace - spraying expletives as it goes - that it doesn't matter that the plot is as battered as Nick's Mustang.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 19, 2011

More frenetic than funny, the film bumbles along with three sets of characters endlessly swapping obscene insults.

| Sep 18, 2011

Puerile, irritating and insultingly phallocentric.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Sep 16, 2011
