'30 Minutes Or Less' Trailer: Aziz Ansari, Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride Star (VIDEO)

Jesse Eisenberg is doing his best not to get typecast.

The "Social Network" star, who has played awkward nerds in that Facebook film, "The Squid and the Whale," "Adventureland" and "Zombieland," is swinging from geek billionaire to violent, sex-crazed pizza delivery guy.

Eisenberg stars in "30 Minutes or Less," a new comedy from Ruben Fleischer, who directed him in "Zombieland." He plays best buds with "Parks and Recreation" star Aziz Ansari, a teacher whose twin sister with whom he once had more than best buddy relations with. The reveal of the relations threatens to blow up their friendship, but when Eisenberg has an actual bomb strapped to his chest, there's a lot more at stake than ego.

Eisenberg and Ansari get forced to rob a bank by Danny McBride ("PIneapple Express" and "Eastbound and Down") and comedian Nick Swardson, who wear gorilla masks and say very, very foul things.

It may be back to awkward for Eisenberg soon, though; he was just cast in Woody Allen's new film, to be filmed in Rome. He'll co-star with Alec Baldwin, Penelope Cruz and Ellen Page.

I personally find Jesse Eisenberg very refreshing and supremely talented. I highly recommend The Education of CHarlie Banks, a film he stars in. The trailer I'm not sold on, but so far most of what this kid touches turns to gold so I definitely plan on seeing it.

All I got was a screen asking me to submit my birth date with nowhere to type it.

Nothing in the description of this movie makes sense but I'm still really excited to see this.

Any reason we're not just getting Zombieland 2? Seriously? Just punch that ticket again.

He plays best buds with "Parks and Recreation" star Aziz Ansari, a teacher whose twin sister with whom he once had more than best buddy relations with.

Talk about relative clauses spinning out of control! The repetition of "with" does not help things--not to mention ending the sentence with a preposition--not usually a good thing.

"a teacher of his whose sister he screwed"

Admittedly "screwed" is too simple; but "with whom he once had more than best buddy relations with" is a quite a periphrasis!

“This is the sort of bloody nonsense up with which I will not put.” -- Winston Churchill on why it's okay to end a sentence with a preposition.

I love Aziz, but the trailer looks weak.

Yes I was thinking the same thing when I saw Zombie Land. I was thinking how Michael Cera could easily play that role.

Oh Jesse, you're talented and hanging out with hacks who think Pulp Fiction is Citizen Kane.

Next time try to be a tad more prententious.

"He plays best buds with "Parks and Recreation" star Aziz Ansari, a teacher whose twin sister with whom he once had more than best buddy relations with."

Worst. Sentence. Ever.

I'm still staring at it thinking, "no. Couldn't mean what it seems to mean. Could it?"

A woman actress takes off her clothes; a male actor just picks up a gun. And we pay these mediocrities too!
