What kind of watch this is
Macon Blair directs this 2026 comedy-crime hybrid, pairing Dave Franco and O'Shea Jackson Jr. with Mason Thames. The plot involves two bottom-tier drivers transporting a wealthy teen to rehab. The job is supposed to be simple. It is not. The passenger derails the plan, dragging the trio into a spiral of drugs and danger. The tagline, "They're doing their best," does a lot of heavy lifting. It is a 100-minute film. The chaos is the point.
What the critics said
Rotten Tomatoes tallies 63% positive reviews from 76 critics, averaging 6.1 out of 10. The consensus calls it crude and trying a bit too hard to be edgy, though it should satisfy fans of pugnacious comedy. Metacritic scores it 62 out of 100, labeling the reception generally favorable. Brian Tallerico of RogerEbert.com called it a Coen-esque comedy that gets a bit too messy in the final act, yet remains a clever flick. He noted the script is subtly sharp about class.
How it did with audiences
Idiots skipped the box office entirely, leaving the financial ledger blank. The only number we have is a 6.1 on TMDB, which is a user score rather than a critic’s opinion. In the world of streaming, that is a polite shrug. For a title this specific, a mid-range score is arguably the most honest outcome.
