Laid in America

Okay. I know. I am gonna seem weird for saying this. But this film only really makes sense if you have watched both Caspar and JJ before even thinking of watching. It's not too bad overall.

I adore Casper, and enjoy watching the videos posted by him and Olajide on Youtube... but whoever thought it was a good idea to put these two on the big screen were utterly *cookoo*.

Post the budget of this film and the gross profit so far so we can laugh at how silly this idea was.

Neither brought anything to the big screen, just silly youtube humor which is funny for 1-2 minutes. And thus is what youtube is about..

An hour and a half of this stuff? And yup, you made a mess. There's no question seeing Casper smile brings the wrinkles of an 80 year old out, but that still doesn't defend this "feature" of a movie even being made public in the first place.

At best, did this even come to any theatre outside of mainstream US? I doubt it...

Good try, but please keep youtube comedy stars separate to that of the big screen... It'll keep your finances and stock safe, as well as our eyes.

When I first heard about this film, its only genuine appeal was the casting of well-known YouTube comedian KSI. I did not however expect this film to interest me in any other way; in this sense, it certainly didn't surprise me.

The acting was relatively weak throughout, from start to finish. Having said that, it was very easy- going and straight forward to watch, making it ideal to watch whenever. It's also fairly obvious this film was not made to be loved by everyone, only people with prior knowledge of KSI's humour. By merely reading the plot summary, anyone could conclude this film was never going to be highlight of anyone's week.

Casper Lee's performance was arguably "cringe-worthy" at best. Furthermore, whilst the plot was never exactly inspired in the first place, the film is so unrealistic in some areas, it draws into question the credibility of it even being a comedy- It's NOT funny.

In summary, it's a short and easy film to watch purely to see KSI's mediocre performance. Aside from this, there are no real highlights in the film. Nowadays, there truly are better films to be watched.

Laid In America is about two British guys who are about to leave the school they go to in America but there's one problem, they haven't had sex yet, OH GOD. This movie stars Casper Lee and KSI. If you've never heard of either of them then let me explain, neither of them are actually actors, there both Youtube stares, are you seeing a problem yet. The acting in this film is some of the worst i've ever seen in my life. I did sorta buy the two characters as friends but y probably just cause they are in real life, when the enviable conflict come in and they start fighting its so unbelievable. Also this movie is marketed as a comedy, and in comedy's your meant to laugh, i didn't laugh through this whole film. possibly the worst thing about this film was that after it had ended the two characters hadn't changed at all. They didn't have any ark, they were both really annoying at the beginning and they were really annoying at the end, if not more. There are no redeeming qualities about Laid In America, its a complete waist of time. The people who made it obviously don't that in order to make a good film you have to do more than just point a camera at people and have them talk and say unfunny jokes. I've tried to find people who like this movie and the ones i have said "its so funny" i said "why" and they said "well not really but i really like Casper Lee" Im not kidding i actually had that conversation with someone.

I would recommend Laid in America to no one. It's not even so bad that is good, its just bad really really bad.

0/10

That's what should be the name of this movie because it's so God awful. It stars two guys from Youtube. Well, hell. I mean if Youtube could give us the Biebs, surely it could give us it's version of Thelma and Louise, Riggs and Murtaugh, Laurel and Hardy, Turner and Hooch....Caspar and Olaji...ummm...KSI, two Brits whose comedic finesse is nothing short of a disgrace compared to the legends of British comedy like The League of Gentlemen, Monty Python, the Mighty Boosh.

In a lot of ways, this movie is like American Pie...but without the babes or the humor or the good actors. I suppose you could say it is sort of like those later direct-to-DVD National Lampoons' movies....but worse. Surely you know what I'm talking about. However, as I think more about it, If I were Caspar or KSI and someone offered me a boatload of money to do a movie, however terrible it is, I would do it too. After all, more money to purchase a new....Lamborghini. B*tch I know you see me! In my Lamborghini!!
