Every once in a while, I need to step away from a long string of dramatic and serious films and emerge myself in a world of stupidity, over-the-top characters, and plot lines requiring little thought. Every once in a while, a film like "Masterminds" is exactly what I need. Will this movie win an Oscar? No, absolutely not. Will you laugh? Sure, unless your heart is made of stone. Beyond that, don't expect too much from this one. It did pack enough jokes for me to feel embarrassed about how much I was laughing. It features an all-star cast of soon to be comedy legends and a familiar bank heist plot line. When you put these things together, they made the perfect combination for me.
Be good to each other,
