If smart dumb comedies hold a place in your heart, you ll like Masterminds. The main characters are masterminds only in their own heads, and the thoughts that tumble out of their mouths are as nonsensical as they are sincere. The stupider the thought, the harder the joke lands. The Jerk, Napoleon Dynamite, Dumb and Dumber, Anchorman and other films all worked this vein. There s a whole glorious wing of smart-dumb that sends up crime pictures; the subgenre s peak practitioners are probably Joel and Ethan Coen, whose filmography is packed with dunderheaded crooks who can barely tie their shoes, yet fancy themselves geniuses.
