Well, I must admit that I didn't really have much of any expectations for this 2013 movie titled "American Idiots", aside from it being a comedy and a road trip movie.
Turns out that this movie from director Robert Taleghany and writer Jeffrey T. Schoettlin wasn't really much of an entertaining movie. At least it failed to really entertain me and I actually didn't even laugh once throughout the course of the movie.
Storywise then "American Idiots" is as straight forward as it could possibly be, to the point of where it became generic and just predictable. And writer Jeffrey T. Schoettlin offered literally nothing in terms of making the storyline interesting, as it just cruised onwards on autopilot.
You shouldn't be setting yourself up for expecting a grand presentation of acting performances here in "American Idiots". Because you'll be sorely disappointed. I mean, some of the actors and actresses were adequate, while others were just downright out of their element and league.
There are far better comedies readily available of this particular genre of comedy.
I am rating "American Idiots" a mere three out of ten stars, and I can in all honesty say that I am not returning to watch this movie a second time.

I really was beyond bored out of this world that I sat through the whole of this film.
It had the worst acting I'd ever seen. The kind you see in cheap ass porno flicks. The camera work was so bad and amateur. Most of the shots were so unimaginative, uninspired and zero hints of any form of creativity in it. All the characters had absolutely no dept. The worst part about the film is the script. Who ever wrote it, wow. All I can say, one of the worst scripts ever read on camera. Plain bland, unimaginative, overly simple and really really cheap dialogue. An all round disaster. Actually, now I want all 92 minutes of my life back.

It was an okay trip. I felt like one of the guys in the movie. I wish there were more hot chicks. It had some feeling to it too. The guy ends up with the girl. It was alright. It had its parts.
Whatever. It is what it is.

Absolutely one of the worst movies that I've had the displeasure of watching. Horrible writing. Terrible acting. Kept waiting to see if Anything would salvage it. No, nothing ever happened to help it along or help it get better. The premise has been used a thousand times, but usually a ton more successfully. A lot of times the scenes don't really go with each other, which also means there's little continuity. Worst of all? It's supposed to be a comedy. There weren't even slight giggling moments. It's not a drama, but it's not a comedy either. It's just a boring, grotesque, waste of time. Really wish I hadn't sat through it all. Know I'll never watch it again. Not even on a dare.
I love raunchy comedies, i love road trip movies, i even love when its over the top. But this one... almost nothing work. First of all the lead actor has the charisma of a broom, his delivery is terrible and you can never feel the connection the movie try to push with his female friend. That character at least has charisma and charm but due to the lead actor's "performance" their relationship never seem genuine, never work.
The movie bank on those "over the top situations" you usually see in movies like that but the problem is nothing is funny. There is a scene where a character got to go to the bathroom in the RV and somebody is there, some monolog happen and i just was almost screaming at my screen "can this scene just end?"
Honestly this movie has a similar overall plot than Going the distance, but that one is far superior on every side.
Even if like me you like raunchy comedies and are used to low budget DTV and enjoy them like me, its simply not worth it.
