Director: Kitao Sakurai
Cast: Eric André , Lil Rel Howery , Michaela Conlin , Tiffany Haddish , Dimitry Elyashkevich , Charles Green , Adam Meir , Gerald Espinoza , Kaleila Johnson , Michael Starr , Yvette Tucker
Plot: This mix of a scripted buddy comedy road movie and a real hidden camera prank show follows the outrageous misadventures of two buds stuck in a rut who embark on a cross-country road trip to NYC. The storyline sets up shocking real pranks.


My Movie Review: The movie is fresh uniquely new one of a kind and different than the usual so good how it was put together there's brilliance here that's very rare hard to come nowadays! Bad Trip is salacious very funny hits the bullseye in hidden cameras capture pulling hilarious and inventive pranks on an unsuspecting public genre as most attempt failed this one succeed! Mostly catching the right notes but even disgusting bad notes are deliciously bad-ass if given some cool points this will heat up to a 100 plus lead has undeniable charisma and giving vibes! As Eric André is more than enough already to carry the show yet Lil Rel Howery make this more hilarious with his surprise reaction and facial expression of disbelief but Tiffany Haddish wrap this with the bag caught me off guard she's here giving this sideshow a piece of bangers:) Redefine the meaning of a feel good movie cause most films with that entitlement doesn't give you that feel good but this one does those given you different emotions right? just love all of it:)

Critics Consensus: It's a delivery system for strung-together Situationist happenings, a fancy way of saying that everyday people get co-opted into highly elaborate, hilarious, smart-comics-doing-dumb-gross shit. As if to counteract the bummer of watching raucous comedy on Netflix Bad Trip comes equipped with its own crowd energy-a collective faith that there's no idiotic stunt that can't be pulled back from the brink of disaster. With ingeniously gross hidden-camera bits that often find their unsuspecting marks at their best, Bad Trip turns out to be a surprisingly uplifting ride. The kinder, younger brother to Borat and Jackass, Bad Trip confronts real people with absurd situations and celebrates their virtues when they choose kindness. Perhaps the most shocking thing about it surprisingly sweet, sympathetic film. There's deeper achievement here which is how dexterously Bad Trip's half-verite concept exposes and crosses the wires of so many mainstream gross-out and/or romantic comedies. It's a blunt instrument of absurdity, but when presented with extreme distress, people tend to reach out and help. Bad Trip might be a dumber comedy but don't be surprised if it makes you feel a little better about your world:)
