The Bet

Denton Baker gets given a bet and has to hook up with every girl he had a crush on from 1st to 12th grade. The story follows Denton over the summer to see him try & complete the bet.

I heard about this movie a couple of years ago through the writers of the movie Chris & Aaron. Being a huge wrestling fan & hearing that DDP, Tommy Dreamer, Jake Roberts & Roddy Piper would be in a movie instantly caught my attention. There are also cameos from Chuck D & Dian Bachar ( Squeek from Baseketball ) too.

10 stars, definitely worth a watch & definitely your time.

PS. Stick around until the end of the movie & catch a photo of Roddy Piper with Aaron & Chris

The first thing The Bet made me think of was American Pie. it's also similar to Van Wilder and Harold and Kumar. I've noticed a Good To Go Tour poster on the wall and an Army Of Freshmen poster. I'm pretty good at noticing things like that. I don't know if there are more references or not but those are the ones I noticed. This if my first time seeing Chris Jay act. he was good. All in all it was good. It's funny they have a video store baseball team. it's a lot like Harold and Kumar. Chris jay was probably the best part of the whole thing. that and the Army Of Freshmen poster which i thought was pretty cool. i'm pretty good at finding easter eggs so that was fun.

As a fan of coming-of-age, underdog comedies the 5-6 year period following the American Pie release in the late 90s was a great time for me. This movie tips the hat to that era perfectly, but the beautiful cinematography (yeah, REALLY!) brings it into the modern day, along with the bet revolving around a relic from that era itself - the movie rental store. The cameos are great as you'd expect from lifelong entertainers, however the main cast are all so good that putting an icon like Jake The Snake amongst them doesn't seem out of place. Everyone has great chemistry throughout, and perhaps the biggest surprise of all is that it's not all boobs and dick jokes like 90% of those that followed American Pie. It has real heart to it and the lead actors are so likable that you find yourself rooting for their characters by the time the credits roll, despite participating in an ethically questionable bet.

I thought it would be pretty cheesy, but turned out to be very well thought-out and a cast well- picked.

They did a great job nailing stereotypes and were thorough with the plot of the movie. An easy movie to watch and understand!

Most of it was shot in Ventura CA, loved the small-town vibes. really helped contribute to the post- high school feel of the movie and was very relatable.

Less is more is a great way to describe this movie too. They cut to the punch and chase of each scene, did not over-complicate things and did a great job. I really enjoyed it!!!

I highly recommend it for anyone looking for the 2016 American Pie tribute. Good memories, great throwback.

really if you waste your time watching this movie, it has decent actors, but it's so homophobic & degrading to people.. not just women... it would take a brain dead person to actually like this movie... i've watched 1:05 of the 1:28 minutes and i'm turning it off. It says i have to write a longer review and i've pretty much covered the whole movie so far... the movie is just as stupid as the plot. to the casting director, producer, actors, i give you credit for doing your best to make a horrible movie worth watching. You have to have talent to do that. To the writer... you should go get a job at burger king if you spent more than 10 minutes on the writing of this awful flick.
