The Bet

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!

Denton Baker gets given a bet and has to hook up with every girl he had a crush on from 1st to 12th grade. The story follows Denton over the summer to see him try & complete the bet.

I heard about this movie a couple of years ago through the writers of the movie Chris & Aaron. Being a huge wrestling fan & hearing that DDP, Tommy Dreamer, Jake Roberts & Roddy Piper would be in a movie instantly caught my attention. There are also cameos from Chuck D & Dian Bachar ( Squeek from Baseketball ) too.

10 stars, definitely worth a watch & definitely your time.

PS. Stick around until the end of the movie & catch a photo of Roddy Piper with Aaron & Chris

plays along the lines of something you might see vince vaughn do.

like dodgeball, but not as wacky, still plenty of fun.

enjoyable LOL moments. not bad at all. crude and offensive, sure.

but kept my attention which is more than i can say for most bigger budget movies these days.

and moved along at a good pace. not too long, unlike this review which IMDb is making me stretch out like butter spread to thin on a piece of toast.

i will watch it again. with a girlfriend. i know she will laugh her ass off at some of the insults and so forth.

thumbs up!

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.

As a fan of coming-of-age, underdog comedies the 5-6 year period following the American Pie release in the late 90s was a great time for me. This movie tips the hat to that era perfectly, but the beautiful cinematography (yeah, REALLY!) brings it into the modern day, along with the bet revolving around a relic from that era itself - the movie rental store. The cameos are great as you'd expect from lifelong entertainers, however the main cast are all so good that putting an icon like Jake The Snake amongst them doesn't seem out of place. Everyone has great chemistry throughout, and perhaps the biggest surprise of all is that it's not all boobs and dick jokes like 90% of those that followed American Pie. It has real heart to it and the lead actors are so likable that you find yourself rooting for their characters by the time the credits roll, despite participating in an ethically questionable bet.
