Wow, that was really good movie. I can't understand why it's so underrated tho. It deserves at least to have 7/10. Acting was on point, it reminded me of Borat, Bad Grandpa and Jackass movies. I can't remember when last time I laughed so many times. Those awkwards moments made this film even better. For me, it's the best comedy of 2020, hands down.

Comedy is subjective
FeastMode25 January 2022
I fully realize that some of this comedy is so basic and childish. But it made me laugh. So many times I thought to myself "they're so stupid" while simultaneously cracking up. Similar to (but nowhere close to) the Sacha Baron Cohen stuff and Nathan For You. I had a good time with this movie. (1 viewing, 1/24/2022)
The Eric Andre Show Movie
ramselvaraj2 May 2020
If you liked the style of humor in The Eric Andre Show you will thoroughly enjoy the movie. The plot is simple but doesn't detract from the humor in any way. It is a must watch if you like Eric and his style of humor.
Hilarious, had me laughing so hard I was crying.

This is a must watch for anyone who's a fan of the show, or anyone who loves hidden camera pranks. As a huge Eric Andre fan, this movie delivered everything I expected and more. I'd say it's as good as the pranks in the Eric Andre show or better. I was laughing so hard I was crying at some of the segments. The way they pranks are orchestrated and the reactions they get from people are amazing. I haven't laughed this hard at a movie since watching Borat.
Sacha Baron Cohen would approve of this
axlerod8820 April 2020
If you are a big fan of Borat then the endless, gross, staged pranks will really appeal to those that appreciate that type of humor. This movie is in the same vein as Borat, a buddy road trip movie. Our protagonist sees his childhood crush one day while at work but his own stupidity gets in the way. He laments his missed chance & when the opportunity for them to reconnect again presents itself, no matter the obstacle, he finds a way to make this happen with his best friend in tow.
Just like Borat, all the main characters in the movie play it straight while hoisting the gags on an unsuspecting public & I was quite impressed with how far they really pushed the envelope while staying in character. The story line is a tried & true one but because all the jokes were so over the top & outrageous that I couldn't help but laugh all the way to the end. If you like your jokes crude. fast & vulgar then this won't disappoint.

Definitely a unique and funny movie...
paul_haakonsen19 December 2021
I found "Bad Trip" on Netflix and opted to sit down and watch it as I hadn't already seen it. And the title combined with the movie's cover/poster actually seemed like this could be something enjoyable. Sure, I hadn't even heard about "Bad Trip" prior to watching it, so I wasn't sure what I was in for.
It dawned on me pretty quick that this movie was not just a normal movie, because it had that hidden camera prank thing going on. But once you get into that, then "Bad Trip" is actually a rather enjoyable and funny movie, and I have to say that I was actually genuinely entertained by it.
The movie is starring Eric André, Michaela Conlin, Michaela Conlin and Tiffany Haddish, whom actually put on great performances and definitely carried the movie quite well, making it all the more enjoyable.
While "Bad Trip" was a fun movie, it hardly is a movie that warrants more than just a single viewing. Why? Well, the storyline just doesn't really have enough contents to it to support more than just a single viewing. But if you get the chance to watch director Kitao Sakurai's "Bad Trip" movie, then do so.
I found it to be a funny movie and I had some pretty good and genuine laughs throughout the course of the movie, especially the gorilla scene.
I am rating "Bad Trip" a six out of ten stars.

much funnier than expected!
donaldricco23 May 2021
Pretty dang funny - much funnier than I thought it would be! Between the gorilla, the Chinese finger trap, and the white chicks thread, I was laughing pretty regularly! And even though she wasn't in it much, Tiffany Haddish was her usual hilarious self! And kinda scary too, if I'm being honest! I also really enjoyed the reveal moments over the end credits! Good fun for a hard day!
Hour & A Half Eric Andre Episode!!
kfriot17 May 2020
Don't watch this if you're stuck up. This movie is hilarious and the 1 reviews are ridiculous. If you are going to give this movie a 1 you shouldn't have watched it in the first place. If you know Eric Andre you know what you're getting yourself into. Amazing movie
Eric Andre does it again.........
Ham90002 May 2020
I would've liked it more if Hannibal Buress was involved, but it's still hilarious either way. The pranks were pretty clever, the chemistry between Andre and Howery felt genuine, and I have to give credit for Tiffany Haddish for being funny for once. The first act of the film was sort of an issue for me, because it felt more like Impractical Jokers than Eric Andre. But when the film picked up the pace, I was laughing so hard, that I swallowed my throat lozenge, and I thought I was gonna die.
7/10, funny as hell.

This is not my kind of humor or something i would watch, but i really liked it and found it funny. sure, it was a bit cringy at some points but there was meaning behind the cringe. i really enjoyed it and I am really happy i got to watch it because it genuinely made me feel a little bit better while locked down
Jackass(es) but with a story
kosmasp16 April 2021
Usually I do not read anything about things I'm about to watch. In this case it was an interview on a late night show that gave away the USP of this one. They made a movie that was based around many people not knowing what was happening ... like Jackass and hidden camera mixed together. Now for some this is probably genius ... for others just plain ... annoying and lacking of any quality.
You can guess who knows what's up and who is not into the gag ... if you can call it gag. I personally am on the fence. I liked a few moments, but am not a fan of the whole concept overall ... even if they did quite a good job overall. The ending then almost destroys it all .. before it almost makes it a masterpiece! The "White Girl" thing feels ... just wrong. But the added "Party up" by DMX? Whoooo .... it almost made me lose my mind! Rip DMX of course - but a great way to close out a movie - any movie! And during the credits you'll also be able to see the people involved and how they reacted finding out that it was all a movie ... you may be looking over your shoulder every day from now on ... ;)

Kinda OK. Had a couple of funny moments.
t-0974730 March 2021
There were a couple of good pranks that made me laugh but most of them were lacking good ideas and people's reaction was not interesting at all. I wish they spent more time trying. As I can see, they took only two or three shots and chose the best. Often there was really nothing to choose from but they needed to fill the gaps in the movie. It was not that bad after all but lost its drive quite quickly. I had to struggle to watch it through the second half to the end.
Absurd but hilarious, a must watch.
niels276529 April 2020
Great set of pranks, the reactions they get from these people are so authentic, and add so much to the film. Definitely a worthy watch, don't expect to get anything out of it, other then hilarious staged pranks, much like the ones in Borat, or the Jackass films.
Yes, the film is cheesy, and some of the pranks drag on for too long, but it doesn't matter, especially during these times of quarantine, this would keep anyone entertained. It's fresh, new, and absurd. A recommendation for anyone.

One of the better hidden camera prank films I've seen
ronakkotian14 May 2021
I find Eric André to be a very funny guy so I was eagerly waiting for Bad Trip and I have to say this is one of the better hidden camera prank films.
Bad Trip is about two friends, Chris and Bud, who take a road trip from Florida to New York City so Chris can declare his love for his high school crush, Maria. However, the two are also being pursued by Bud's sister Trina for stealing her car.
I was excited for this film but a part of me was a bit anxious as to how it would play out. Hidden camera prank films are not easy to pull off but Bad Trip was well made. What I really liked about this film was how it didn't waste time to get from one prank to another. The film took as many opportunities as possible to set up elaborate pranks along the way and that's what kept the fun going. The pranks themselves were very funny with some being very shocking. The gross-out humour worked well and all the actors did a great job of making each prank convincing. Eric André is a great performer and does a fantastic job. I was worried about Tiffany Haddish but she was one of the best parts of her film. She played her role extremely well and it was funny to see people's reactions to her character. Lil Rel Howery doesn't have as much to do compared to André and Haddish but was good nonetheless.
What Bad Trip also does well is the way it interweaves the pranks into the story. The pranks weren't just there for the laughs as they also contributed to moving the story along and making use of all the locations. Not only were the pranks fun but the film was also a great study into seeing how the public would respond to the situations these three actors put themselves in.
Bad Trip was a good time. It's certainly not at the level of something like Borat which is far more comedic, intelligent and unpredictable but it's definitely one of the better hidden camera prank films I've seen.

I absolutely love The Eric Andre Show and I love movies likes that, where it's hidden cameras and everything, it's a very underrated Genre of movies, back in the day there were the awesome Jackass movies and some time ago Bad Grandpa, it's a bummer they don't make them anymore. Thankfully this movie absolutely delivers, it's hilarious and fast paced. Eric and Lil Rel are great together, especially Eric Andre, this man is a legend. If you like movies with this style and you liked Bad Grabdpa and you like hidden camera prank movies then definitely watch this one. An actual funny movie for a change.
It made me laugh!
accerules2 April 2021
Is Bad Trip a good movie? Not really. Did I laugh, yes on mutiple occasions! Basically this movie is a series of sketches, similar to Borat and Bad Grandpa. If you liked these movies, chances are you'll enjoy Bad Trip! Most sketches are absurd and gross, ( e.g. The gorilla sketch, the "finger"..trap sketch, the drunk sketch) but I have to be honest, I find that amusing.
It's perfectly fine movie for a Friday evening, when you are tired from your week and had a few beers!
Other than that, you might not enjoy it!

A FEW GOOD MOMENTS
acowdontmakeham15 June 2020
If you come to this film having seen the brilliant Eric Andre show you will be well disappointed. A strange hybrid of of goofball comedy and hidden camera reality show it never quite decides which one it wants to be. A few funny moments but that's the best I can say about it which is a shame.
It's stupid fun and it's really good!
bibingraj1 May 2020
Basically many pranks are stitched together using a buddy trip plot.
And the whole setup is just blind, stupid entertainment. Everybody knows the whole thing is stupid and vulgar, but it's about going along with stupidity and absurdity of all this. We can laugh hard knowing that the whole thing is stupid fun. It's not about the best joke line or the best prank, it's the whole setup!
Any valid criticism would be how they managed to pull off without getting recognised. Even one person recognising and raising their voice can kill the whole shot.
Also comparison with Bruno, Borat is not reasonable as they had social messages at underplay with a specific topic. Here it's just about entertainment only, nothing to reveal about the people or society.
I am believing the whole thing is real. Hidden camera shoots + pre shot scenes of the actors.
The actors have all done a great job. Overall just stupid, great fun. Just switch off your brains and watch.

"We got four whole days we can kick back, relax, and breathe in Americans."
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. I knew absolutely nothing about Bad Trip so within the first few minutes I was surprised to find out what the movie actually entailed. For a moment I thought this would basically be a prolonged episode of Impractical Jokers, which they actually did a movie for last year. For what it's worth, Bad Trip delivered in what it wanted to accomplish. This is a really funny movie. The storyline is very cliche for a reason, but it makes most of it. Once the one musical number comes in, it's evident this isn't taking itself seriously. Obviously, the most interesting parts came from pranks. They really went all out. Ranging from stupid humor to as raunchy as they come. Honestly I don't know how they got away with a few. Fun tip: read about the process of these after watching because there are some good stories here. What amazes me (and this has nothing to do with the movie) is how people actually believed some of these. Common sense was lacking in some individuals. But that only added to the fun.
The actors did a good job with being discrete while shooting. I would consider them to be fairly well known actors/comedians so good for them being able to blend in as well as they did. In particular, Tiffany Haddish has a bigger transformation and it makes more sense for her not to be recognized as easily. Anyway, they're hilarious. I had a few issues when it came to the main story. I can't criticize it too much for being stupid. However, they're are a couple spots that really had no thought put in. The ending felt more like an easy way out than anything. And the pacing didn't always work. When you're working with moments that are supposed to be larger than normal and you return to the smaller stuff, it doesn't always feel like it was a smooth as it could be. Again, it's hard to do with what they had planned. Overall I did have an enjoyable time watching Bad Trip. It did what it needed to and it got me to laugh numerous times. I'd caution those who aren't keen to extremely raunchy comedy, but for those who like it this should be something you'd like.

Feels like their trying to do the new job of Bam and Jackass or impractical jokers but sadly you can predict what's guna happen but I guess for kids or teens now days this is guna be their "OMG" but how did these people not recognise Tiffany or Michela??!!
Really enjoyed it
Harry_Gleeson28 March 2021
Overall, Bad Trip was an enjoyable and unique comedy. Very similar to the Jackass and Borat films, which are films I like. The prank, hidden camera comedies are different and this is really fun. It's a blast. The chemistry between Eric Andre and Lil Rey Howrey is great to watch and Tiffany Haddish's role was fine too. Yes the film has it's flaws is nowhere near perfect, but it's not going for that. It's a fun watch which I'd certainly recommend.
Quote - 'Thank you for being a friend' - Bud
