I had forgotten about this movie and only just got around to checking it out because I remembered it featured
DJs Lounge while it was still standing in 2010. Was surprised to see just how much Grand Rapids is featured!
I decided to compile screenshots here of all the locations I could pick out.
If you have not already seen
30 Minutes or Less and have any interest, stop reading and just go see it! Half the fun of that movie for G.R. people is seeing all the familiar sights. If you like Jesse Eisenberg, Danny McBride or Aziz Ansari, they're all as entertaining as ever and the whole thing is a fun ride.
After watching it, come on back and compare notes on all the G.R. places used ....
