Critics Consensus

Crude, rude, and trying just a little too hard to be edgy, Idiots leaves a sour aftertaste but will satisfy those yearning for a pugnacious comedy full of inspired yucks.

3/5

After watching Mason Thames soar as the hero in a number of films, it’s a blast watching him take a drastic turn into far more twisted territory.

Likable leads and silly stoner humor make for agreeable comedy, if you don’t think about it that hard.

Rather than fully relying on its characters’ behavior to set up laughs, the film resorts to contrived situations and outcomes that are never funnier than when Mark suddenly falls down, goes boom.

Macon Blair has spent his directing career with America in the crosshairs and has never once fired from a pulpit. The target here is simple: money buys exemption.

6/10

A chaotic road movie comedy with a dirty mind and gleefully bad intentions, Idiots is solid late summer fare.

Think of it like Home Alone from the thieves' point of view.

I like how it’s so caught off guard and grungy and more drug use and more real in the cinematography was amazing

Not funny, obscenely gross, predictable, cheesy, bad acting, terrible plot, and about 90 minutes too long. But aside from that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?

Not bad, not bad at all. A good little night catch that made me laugh. I actually recommended this movie to others after I'd seen it. A good time filler, maybe on a plane or in waiting.
