The Bet

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!

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).

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.

"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.

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.
