Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
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 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.
Masterminds finds plenty of targets for its satirical jabs and lets them all off the hook.
What Masterminds lacks in sharp one-liners it more than makes up for in ridiculous slapstick.
