Bad Trip

I absolutely love The Eric Andre Show and I love movies likes that, where it's hidden cameras and everything, it's a very underrated Genre of movies, back in the day there were the awesome Jackass movies and some time ago Bad Grandpa, it's a bummer they don't make them anymore. Thankfully this movie absolutely delivers, it's hilarious and fast paced. Eric and Lil Rel are great together, especially Eric Andre, this man is a legend. If you like movies with this style and you liked Bad Grabdpa and you like hidden camera prank movies then definitely watch this one. An actual funny movie for a change.

Pretty dang funny - much funnier than I thought it would be! Between the gorilla, the Chinese finger trap, and the white chicks thread, I was laughing pretty regularly! And even though she wasn't in it much, Tiffany Haddish was her usual hilarious self! And kinda scary too, if I'm being honest! I also really enjoyed the reveal moments over the end credits! Good fun for a hard day!

If you are a big fan of Borat then the endless, gross, staged pranks will really appeal to those that appreciate that type of humor. This movie is in the same vein as Borat, a buddy road trip movie. Our protagonist sees his childhood crush one day while at work but his own stupidity gets in the way. He laments his missed chance & when the opportunity for them to reconnect again presents itself, no matter the obstacle, he finds a way to make this happen with his best friend in tow.

Just like Borat, all the main characters in the movie play it straight while hoisting the gags on an unsuspecting public & I was quite impressed with how far they really pushed the envelope while staying in character. The story line is a tried & true one but because all the jokes were so over the top & outrageous that I couldn't help but laugh all the way to the end. If you like your jokes crude. fast & vulgar then this won't disappoint.

Basically many pranks are stitched together using a buddy trip plot. And the whole setup is just blind, stupid entertainment. Everybody knows the whole thing is stupid and vulgar, but it's about going along with stupidity and absurdity of all this. We can laugh hard knowing that the whole thing is stupid fun. It's not about the best joke line or the best prank, it's the whole setup!

Any valid criticism would be how they managed to pull off without getting recognised. Even one person recognising and raising their voice can kill the whole shot.

Also comparison with Bruno, Borat is not reasonable as they had social messages at underplay with a specific topic. Here it's just about entertainment only, nothing to reveal about the people or society.

I am believing the whole thing is real. Hidden camera shoots + pre shot scenes of the actors.

The actors have all done a great job. Overall just stupid, great fun. Just switch off your brains and watch.

Wow, that was really good movie. I can't understand why it's so underrated tho. It deserves at least to have 7/10. Acting was on point, it reminded me of Borat, Bad Grandpa and Jackass movies. I can't remember when last time I laughed so many times. Those awkwards moments made this film even better. For me, it's the best comedy of 2020, hands down.
