Masterminds
This movie revolves around the transformation in the life of an ordinary man, David Ghantt, a kind hearted man, who works as a van driver, as he delivers money for the bank, but he suffers from the boring life he has, as he has the same day over and over, but by the arrival of the beautiful, Killy Campbel, who inspires him to change his life, as she convinces him to participate in the biggest robbery ever, and who accepts, as he wants to win her heart.

Not every gag lands, but those that do make this broad yet lovable schlub of a comedy worth a $3.99 online stream.

There's some punchy play with comic timing and scattershot laughs, but the movie's too skittish, misfires in a hitman-subplot, and can't make us treasure its Most Wanted Dopes.

The movie has been on ice awaiting release for over a year, owing to the bankruptcy of its studio. But some of the jokes were moldy long before that happened. Masterminds owes us our two hours back.

A comedy with a fairly linear structure in its plot and that entertains with good gags. [Full review in Spanish]

What Masterminds lacks in sharp one-liners it more than makes up for in ridiculous slapstick.

Hess dives deeply into the ass crack of suburban North Carolina, finding lowbrow caricature courtesy his two wonderfully shameless lead actors, Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Wiig.

The subtext is all about class dispossession, but a movie in which a character is stupid enough to propose a big-time bank robbery so that his gang can make it into the news ("the big show") is pushing it.

Masterminds finds plenty of targets for its satirical jabs and lets them all off the hook.

A comedy that is entertaining thanks to its interpreters, but it ends up being more effective in its social analysis between white aristocracy and the new rich. [Full review in Spanish]

It's just smart people acting like dumb people in a dumb movie.

All of these actors and filmmakers will do better work in the future, but Masterminds won't be on the top of anyone's résumé.
