Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Kailansorac Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

Chirphymium It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Ian It's a stupid story about stupid, stupid people. It's not so much comedy as poor farce and slapstick and if you get one laugh out of the movie, good luck to you. Unless you're American as many reviewer seem to be, and apologies to any Americans who really do have a sense of humour. Yeah, I'm British!The script is awful with coincidence building on coincidence. C'mon guys! No surprise it took 4 people to pull it together! What a Smörgåsbord! Based on a true story? Yeah, like, someone robs a bank!Can not believe that Owen Wilson got involved in it. He's always good value and he's as good as he can be in this. Best of the bunch is Kristen Wiig but the acting is dire. There are a couple of ok cameos but most are too far OTT.Please, avoid!

masonfisk How in the hell in a cinematic universe did Masterminds get lost in the miasma of bad comedies that keep coming out week after week? Directed by the co-mastermind (sorry!) behind Napolean Dynamite & Nacho Libre comes another inspired piece of lunacy (based on a real case) which builds & builds like a collage of hilarity. This is the kind of flick all others should study for inspiration & instruction.

Eric266 Considering all the acting talent involved, this should have been hilarious. It was mildly amusing, mostly due to the over-the-top acting by Kate McKinnon. Zach Galifianakis is David Ghantt, a real life Loomis Armored Car employee who robbed the company of $17.3m in 1997. Galifianakis plays him as a kind of hillbilly rube. Kristen Wiig is an ex-employee who pretends to be sweet on Ghantt to get him to steal the money. Owen Wilson is the leader of the heist. Leslie Jones is an FBI agent investigating the crime. Jason Sudeikis is a hit man sent to kill Ghantt. Finally, Kate McKinnon is Ghantt's crazy girlfriend, Jandice. She steals the show.None of this really holds up to much scrutiny. The plot is silly (albeit based on a true story). None of the actors seems to be taking it seriously and the movie never really picks up steam when it should. It was enjoyable with Sudeikis and McKinnon standing out, but overall this was a wasted opportunity. The film, Logan Lucky, with a similar theme of a heist by a bunch of amateurs is much better.

Quincy Lee Masterminds is one of the few comedies that caused me to suddenly laugh so hard that I scared my roommate. This is followed by long and quiet scenes.His comedic style uses a slow approach, wacky characters, methodical development and abrupt awkward situations.This film will not appeal to people who like crude humor, foul banter and mindless slapstick.Instead, it will appeal to people who like plot twists, hilarious reactions and funny runarounds.I like Jared Hess' other films (Nacho Libre) and Masterminds didn't disappoint me.
