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.

That's my single favorite part of this movie is watching Mason Thames be a jerk. He's always the the main character, the protagonist, the hero. And I have been a big believer that [he's] got so much range.

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.

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

Blair occasionally flirts with content almost too “dark” to be comedic. Yet this collision between The Last Detail and Smiley Face always manages to stop just short of wiping that smile off your face.

3.5/4

Filled with offbeat characters, gross-out humor, and plenty of Yo Mamma jokes, Macon Blair’s dark chaotic comedy is proof that zero brain cells equal one hundred percent laughs.

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.
