**"Idiots," Macon Blair’s 2026 comedy (formerly titled "The Shitheads"), premiered at Sundance in January to mixed-positive early notices that established a current Rotten Tomatoes Tomatometer near 75% from roughly 30 reviews.** Critics have highlighted the energetic road-trip farce, strong chemistry between Dave Franco and O'Shea Jackson Jr., and sharp class commentary, while noting uneven pacing and a third act that fails to fully cohere. Metacritic sits at 67/100 from ten reviews, reflecting similar "generally favorable" but not standout sentiment. With a limited theatrical release set for August 28—just days before the market’s August 31 snapshot—additional post-release notices could shift the score. The title change and second trailer in mid-August have kept promotional focus on its cast (including Mason Thames, Kiernan Shipka, and Peter Dinklage) and broad comedic appeal amid competition from other late-summer releases.
