    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The plot of the film is similar to a real-life incident that occurred in 2003 to pizza delivery man Brian Douglass Wells, depicted in Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist (2018). The writers said they only had "vague knowledge" of this case before writing. Wells's sister publicly lambasted the film saying she doesn't 'think it's funny to laugh at the innocent who are victimized by criminals, who care nothing for human life."
    • Goofs
      While watching Friday the 13th Part III (1982), Dwayne tells his father there are 45 minutes left in the movie. However, the scene they are watching is the final scene in the film.
    • Quotes

      Nick: Now, give me the fucking code.

      Dwayne: Alright. 69-69-69.

      Nick: [pauses] You gotta be fucking kidding me.

    • Crazy credits
      At the end of the credits, there is an ad for Dwayne's tanning/prostitution parlor, Major Tan.

    is very good movie watching without any expectations, you end up surprises positively.
    30 Minutes or Less would go on TV the night, so I decided to watch the movie, but without any expectations, and I ended up liking the film, I thought a lot of fun, the cast is good, Jesse Eisenberg is well, Danny McBride good and funny, Aziz Ansaria this very well, I rather laugh with him, Nick Swardson, Michael Peña, Fred Ward and etc, the script is weak, more has really funny moments, and some fun dialogues, even the majority being uninteresting, the direction of the film is weak and the pace is moderate, I was not bored, most believe it will be very, 30 Minutes or Less is fun, have a good time, plus has a weak script and direction without any inspiration. Note 7.0
