The Bet

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).

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!

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.

So - I am happily surprised that I enjoyed this. I put it on for background whilst I am at work and actually spent the majority of the time not working but laughing.

For SURE it is dumb as all hell, the plot makes little to no sense and I guess it's a little cheesey - but it is a fun movie. I've been watching a lot of "so bad it's good" movies recently so I am hoping I'm not immune to them but I really don't think so with this.

Like, they went out of their way to make a funny and well made movie. It's really a shame that I can't buy it on dvd otherwise I'd buy it right now. (I think it's US only...)

Also - the soundtrack to this movie is FIRE and HILARIOUS!

I cannot find anything about the artists on Spotify though, so thats a bummer. I even looked up the record company and cannot find it.

So in summation:

This is a dumb sex movie. Nothing is PC in it because why would it be?? - you're literally being told what to expect by DUMB SEX ROMP movie... (fwiw - I am a 35 year old woman) But it is a passable/good dumb sex romp movie. Laughed out loud a lot for this.

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.
