Idiots

Idiots (2026) starts with the kind of gig that sounds foolproof on paper: pick up a wealthy teenager, deliver them to rehab, collect the check, go home. But Macon Blair—working in that sweet spot where comedy and crime feed off each other—treats “foolproof” as an invitation to light the fuse. The result is a high-concept setup that wastes no time turning into a messy, dangerous scramble.

At the center are two bozos who have no business being trusted with anything more complicated than a parking validation, let alone a human being with money, attitude, and a family desperate to control the narrative. As the trip unravels, the film leans into the tension between how these guys see themselves—capable, clever, totally in charge—and what the world keeps proving: they’re outmatched, outgunned, and one bad decision away from catastrophe.

The casting promises a lively, combustible mix. Dave Franco and O’Shea Jackson Jr. bring the kind of timing that can make a bad plan feel momentarily brilliant, while performers like Kiernan Shipka, Nicholas Braun, Mason Thames, and Peter Dinklage add shifting power dynamics that keep the story from settling into a single groove. With Blair also appearing on-screen, the movie has that ensemble energy where alliances can flip mid-scene and every new face might be the one who makes things worse.

What makes Idiots especially appealing for fans of crime-comedy is how quickly the “simple job” premise becomes a pressure cooker. The humor doesn’t come from jokes pasted on top of danger; it comes from watching people talk themselves into choices that are obviously terrible, then trying to improvise their way out when consequences arrive early and loud.
