Zach Galifianakis plays the kind of simpleton that he does so well (and usually to comic effect). He’s a guard for an armored car company who’s talked into stealing millions by the equally dense woman he has a crush on (Kristen Wiig, who underplays her role with less successful results). The ironic title means that stupidity is glorified into a clueless cast of characters. Some of the gags land a laff, but others just try too hard. The supporting roles add to the fun, especially Kate McKinnon & Leslie Jones. The lively energy keeps it moving and the quirky attempts at humor sometime succeed. NOTE: See the real people on which the movie is based during the credits.
