I forgot this movie existed until I happened to see it in the dollar bin at the video store.
Danny McBride and Nick Swardson force Jesse Eisenberg to rob a bank by strapping explosives to his chest. Jesse seeks out Aziz Ansari's help in getting out of the situation.
There's more to the plot than that, but I covered what you need to know. This movie is pretty funny, but I think the pacing is really bad. It just doesn't flow well, and as such, a lot of stuff seems shallow. For example, Jesse's love interest, his relationship with his boss, the stripper and her boyfriend, etc. all go without a proper back story or explanation.
Still, this movie is worth is for the four gentlemen mentioned, and the stripper's boyfriend.
See it once and you'll laugh, but I doubt you'll pop it in for repeat viewings.
6 out of 10.
