Impractical Jokers: The Movie

I am a huge fan of these guys....they are absolutely hysterical. I quickly learned to never be drinking anything while watching their TV show because its gonna be shooting out of my mouth within seconds. And live they were even funnier if that's possible. But the film was just not funny except for a possible scene or two and those were the ones that most closely followed the format of their TV show. The whole premise of the film was just dumb and boring. It really hurts me to have to write this but in the end I have to be honest with myself.

First of all I like the TV-show.

They advertised it as challenges that were too big for the TV-show or needed more money to pull off. What I saw was a couple of funny challenges and some not even mediocre ones. The plot was not funny and made no sense. It was a lost opportunity, they could have used this opportunity to push the challenges but delivered a cheesy, bad story with lower than average challenges.

Obviously the practical jokes were hilarious, some real gut belly laughs. However, all the plot driven stuff was tough to sit through. I'm not sure if it was badly written, badly acted or both. I would have MUCH preferred to have an extended version of the television show, or even a much shorter movie.

Im a huge fan of the show but even the weaker episodes are better than the film. They should have stuck with the same format as the show but just done bigger pranks. A contrived plot about them taking a road trip to go see a Paula Abdul concert was not a good idea.

This movie was pretty good and really funny at times, but with some flaws. The main problem is the plot. The plot was really cringe at times, and it didn't help with the bad acting, mainly from Q (I'll give it a pass though, since they aren't exactly actors in the first place.) Also, another problem is how they handled the challenges. When they come, they are hilarious, but as another person said, we don't even get to see them bantering before and after. It turned into an cheesy plot driven movie with some challenges mixed in, instead of lots of laughs. But, as I said, the challenges are hilarious. Overall, it could have been better with a better written plot, more challenges, and maybe a bit better acting. It was good otherwise.
