30 Minutes or Less - 2 stars out of 10

"30 Minutes or Less" is an enormous dose of "Who cares?"  The characters, the conflict, and the story were all inconsequential to me from start to finish.  I like Jesse Eisenberg but appearing in this film was a mistake (along with "Adventureland").  His interactions with Aziz Ansari were entertaining and some of the circumstances were comical, but the story was so pointless that it felt like shock-value language and annoying characters.  The deceptively good preview was enough to draw theater audiences (and me) into this spiderweb of poor scriptwriting, but hopefully this film has developed enough of a bad reputation that people won't waste their time watching it.  After experiencing the pizza-boy-must-rob-a-bank-when-he-has-a-bomb-strpped-to-his-chest plot, I wish that this terrible film would have taken a cue from its title and lasted for 30 minutes or less.
