Reviews & comments

Variety
pressZach Galifianakis succeeds in making an already ridiculous crime even funnier in this caper comedy from the director of 'Napoleon Dynamite.'

Time Out
pressHess dives deeply into the ass crack of suburban North Carolina, finding lowbrow caricature courtesy [sic] his two wonderfully shameless lead actors, Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Wiig.

The New York Times
pressThe full-on goofiness is not reliably buoyant; this is an intermittently enjoyable but often choppy comic ride.

The Guardian
pressA tooth extraction without painkillers would have been far more enjoyable.

Rolling Stone
pressThe 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.

Los Angeles Times
pressThere's a certain subset of the population that may find Zach Galifianakis in a ridiculous hairdo the height of comedy. If you are in that segment, welcome.

Hollywood Reporter
pressLeads Zach Galifianakis, Owen Wilson, Kristen Wiig and Jason Sudeikis bolster the hit-and-miss story with soulful goofiness.
