Crazy Trips - Budapeste

They're trying so hard to be funny that it becomes painful to watch. I'm French and I'm ashamed that such terrible French movies are available on Netflix, when other good comedies are not. I gave it a 2, but could as well been a 1 or no star at all.

Maybe this is funny in France. I have no idea. But it's so so bad. The jokes fall flat and rely entirely on thin cliches and tired, played out stereotypes. I couldn't make it through this garbage film.

There was 2 or 3 laugh out loud moments but at best it was watchable it's wasn't boring as such but unoriginal and nothing new to the scene watching dubbed in English I do wonder if some of it was lost in translation also as most fell flat. Could have been a lot worse however.

It's almost a shame that Xavier Gens seems to have to resort to making movies like this. On the other hand maybe he actually chose this. Whatever the case this feels like a Spring Break movie for adults. It of course has other things to offer but in its heart or in a nutshell this is it.

Now Budapest may be a party city, Jerusalem is for sure, but one of the reasons they probably chose it, is because it is cheap to shoot there. Eastern Europe is a welcome region for many movies, because you have knowledgeble film people/technicians there, but also do not have to spend too much money making a movie there. Something they used here - including some rumors or prejudices we may have about the city I reckon ... you can have fun with this as with many other movies, but you have to be in the right mind set

I was born and raised in Budapest, but I live in the west since over thirty years now and even if I think, that some of the things in the movie were a bit exaggerated and maybe possible after the fall of communism, during the years when nobody knew how to continue, but not today, I also think that the other reviewers giving this movie a 1 star rating out of national pride, are just disgusting butthurt snobs and probably nationalist scum, who have no humor and actually hurt the image of Hungary more, than they would believe. Do not listen to them.

The movie is very funny and knowing that it's true and that you can really visit their website and book these trips makes it even funnier.

It's a shame that the site is only in french and you can't book these trips from the country I live in.

I laughed and enjoyed myself very much during the movie and the Hungarian music they used made me nostalgic.

If you liked the first Hangover, you will like this one too.
