**"Idiots," the 2026 indie comedy from Macon Blair (formerly titled "The Shitheads"), premiered at Sundance in January before Independent Film Company acquired U.S. rights and scheduled a limited theatrical release for August 28.** Starring Dave Franco and O'Shea Jackson Jr. as hapless drivers transporting a rich teen (Mason Thames) whose antics escalate into crime and chaos, the film blends road-comedy energy with class commentary. As of late August 2026, Rotten Tomatoes lists roughly 28–31 reviews with a Tomatometer near 75% (average ~6.9/10) and a Metacritic score of 67. Early reviews praise the cast chemistry, absurdist humor, and sharp undertones on privilege and consequences, but several note uneven pacing, a messy final act, and diminishing returns on the jokes. Precursor buzz from Sundance was solid enough to secure distribution, yet the mixed critical sampling—ranging from strong (RogerEbert.com, Screen Daily) to middling or lower (Slant, Deep Focus)—suggests the score could settle in the low-to-mid 70s once more reviews land around release. The Polymarket resolves on the final All Critics Tomatometer at 10 AM ET on August 31, just days after theaters open, so additional reviews and any late shifts in consensus will be the key swing factors. Traders appear to view 70+ as probable while assigning lower odds to 75+, reflecting the film's solid but not breakout critical trajectory typical of mid-tier Sundance comedies.
