Un viaje pesado

I found "Bad Trip" on Netflix and opted to sit down and watch it as I hadn't already seen it. And the title combined with the movie's cover/poster actually seemed like this could be something enjoyable. Sure, I hadn't even heard about "Bad Trip" prior to watching it, so I wasn't sure what I was in for.

It dawned on me pretty quick that this movie was not just a normal movie, because it had that hidden camera prank thing going on. But once you get into that, then "Bad Trip" is actually a rather enjoyable and funny movie, and I have to say that I was actually genuinely entertained by it.

The movie is starring Eric André, Michaela Conlin, Michaela Conlin and Tiffany Haddish, whom actually put on great performances and definitely carried the movie quite well, making it all the more enjoyable.

While "Bad Trip" was a fun movie, it hardly is a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing. Why? Well, the storyline just doesn't really have enough contents to it to support more than just a single viewing. But if you get the chance to watch director Kitao Sakurai's "Bad Trip" movie, then do so.

I found it to be a funny movie and I had some pretty good and genuine laughs throughout the course of the movie, especially the gorilla scene.

I am rating "Bad Trip" a six out of ten stars.

This is a must watch for anyone who's a fan of the show, or anyone who loves hidden camera pranks. As a huge Eric Andre fan, this movie delivered everything I expected and more. I'd say it's as good as the pranks in the Eric Andre show or better. I was laughing so hard I was crying at some of the segments. The way they pranks are orchestrated and the reactions they get from people are amazing. I haven't laughed this hard at a movie since watching Borat.

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.

Absurdist comedy done right, great time and pretty hilarious!

This could had gone so wrong, but it turned out to be very funny.
