Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe plot is similar to a real-life incident that happened in Erie, Pennsylvania in 2003, depicted in Evil Genius: The True Story of America's Most Diabolical Bank Heist (2018). The writers said they had "vague knowledge" of the case before writing. The victim'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."
- GoofsWhen Nick gets in the car the driver starts a clock for 30 minutes (the pizza is cooked). The 30 minutes should start when the order is placed otherwise the driver could just lie about the time.
- Crazy creditsAt the end of the credits, there is an ad for Dwayne's tanning/prostitution parlor, Major Tan.

Featured review
Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) is a slacker smart-mouthed pizza delivery guy. His best friend is Chet (Aziz Ansari). He's also in love with Chet's twin Kate (Dilshad Vadsaria). Dwayne (Danny McBride) and Travis (Nick Swardson) are two idiot wannabe criminals. Dwayne is belittled by his father The Major (Fred Ward). He comes up with an idea to force the pizza boy to steal $100k for them by strapping him to a bomb. He wants the money to pay hit-man Chango (Michael Peña) to kill The Major whom he finds through stripper Juicy (Bianca Kajlich). Nick gets Chet to join him in a crime spree.
The movie is split into two main and one minor duo. The group is full of funny people. I really like Eisenberg with Ansari. Ansari is a hilarious guy and there is great chemistry. McBride and Swardson are uneven. They get tiresome with them doing their bit. They keep disrupting the fun with Eisenberg and Ansari. I wish they stay with them while having less time with McBride and Swardson. The two wacky idiots could be much funnier with shorter and harder hits.
