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.

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.
A friend of mine told me about this one giving me a head's up about the content, so I knew going in it was going to be raunchy, so I watched with an open mind. I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed watching The Bet.
I laughed, I blushed, I rolled my eyes shaking my head (boys will be boys). I warn that it is not for the weak of heart or for hard-core politically correct tight asses.
I also enjoyed the cameo appearances and the cast as a whole, good chemistry between the actors. I found myself rooting for the hero (though officially offended as a female - wink wink).

"American Pie" meets "Van Wilder" with "Porky's" in its soul. They don't make 'em this irreverent anymore. Sex comedies today are often dark and preachy, but "The Bet" manages to capture the spirit of an 80's sex comedy with the heart of a 90's teen comedy. It's a throwback, yes, but it brings jokes that they couldn't dream of getting away with 20 years ago. With solid performances by Alex Klein and Amanda Clayton and great playing-against-type by legendary professional wrestlers Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Diamond Dallas Page and the final on-screen performance of Rowdy Roddy Piper. "The Bet" is the perfect movie to watch on a Saturday afternoon and the worst movie to watch with your parents.
Even though this is not a movie I would typically watch, I still enjoyed it. There were a lot of laughs, and it had a good story. And there was also some sweet moments and I really liked the ending. As an independent movie, it was impressive how much they were able to do, you can tell there was a lot of planning. and work that went into making this movie. Just as a warning, there is a lot of crude humor, but it is not stupid, senseless humor. You will laugh, smile, and enjoy this movie. And if you are from Ventura, California, you will see a lot of similar things. This whole movie was filmed in Ventura. Good movie to see! Definitely worth watching!

- Crazy creditsNear the end of the closing credits is the standard disclaimer, ""Any similarities or resemblance to actual events, actual persons, living or dead, or to actual films is purely coincidental" - but it's immediately followed by "That said, it would be bad ass if a guy tried to hook up with every girl he had a crush on growing up."
