Common Sense Media Review

Funny but crass hidden-camera prank comedy; drugs, violence.

Violence & Scariness

Chris and Bud suffer all kinds of "accidents" played as real to shock bystanders. These include getting a hand stuck in a blender, falling from heights, flipping a car, crashing through a glass door, and being raped by a gorilla, threatened with a knife, doused with gasoline, hit with a golf club, and electrocuted by car jacks. They get sprayed with gorilla semen, Porta Potty poop, and chunky vomit. In one scene, Chris suggests he wants to kill himself and offers to sign up for the military and go to the front lines of Iraq or Afghanistan. Trina threatens to kill Bud and Chris for stealing her car. She threatens multiple other people for snitching on her as she commits crimes like escaping prison and stealing a cop car. She hangs Chris off a tall building and steals money from Bud. Chris daydreams about an outing with Maria where they beat a blind man and steal his wallet.

Positive Messages

Friends stick by each other through thick and thin. You can learn from unrequited love. Sometimes it's important to follow your dreams.

Positive Role Models

Trina bullies her brother, steals, escapes from prison, and threatens and intimidates people, but she also cares about her brother and wants him to be strong. Chris and Bud steal Trina's car and get into all kinds of trouble on a misguided road trip. They "accidentally" destroy property and scare innocent people, but they're devoted to each other and their friendship. They often behave like impulsive kids, but they generally seem to mean well and treat people kindly. Bystanders involved in this film also often act with genuine kindness. The film is mostly set in Black communities, and the characters are cognizant when they're the "only Black people" in a place. When they dress up as White people, they tell each other to "think White thoughts."

Parents need to know that Bad Trip , a hidden-camera road trip comedy starring Eric Andre , Lil Rel Howery , and Tiffany Haddish , has language, nudity, sexual references, and violence that make it appropriate only for older teens. The film combines a scripted story involving an impromptu road trip with hidden-camera pranks and scenes involving unsuspecting real-life people. Some of these pranks get violent or destructive: The point is to shock with "accidents" (only Howery and mostly Andre get "hurt") involving blood, semen, poop, accidental drug trips, drunken vomiting, and nudity (male behinds and parts of penises are shown). Sexual references include some explicit language. Characters swear profusely, including the "f--k," the "N" word, versions of "s--t," "ass," and more ("bitch," "damn," "hell," "suck," "crap," "c--ksucker," "d--k," "retard," "p--sy," "cum," and "hell," for example). The film is a buddy movie and the main characters learn how much they love and appreciate each other over the course of the action, and Howery's character comes to a new understanding of his relationship with his tough-as-nails sister (Haddish) as well.

What's the Story?

Buddies Chris ( Eric Andre ) and Bud ( il Rel Howery ) are stuck in dead-end jobs living in the same Florida town where they went to high school at the start of BAD TRIP. When Chris runs into his high school crush, Maria Li ( Michaela Conlin ), he convinces Bud to drop everything and drive to New York City, where Maria lives, so he can declare his love for her. Lacking their own wheels, they decide to borrow Bud's sister Trina's ( Tiffany Haddish ) car. She's serving time in prison and won't miss it anyway -- or so they think. Soon after they take off on their road trip, Trina escapes from prison. When she discovers the boys have taken her car, she vows to hunt them down and get her car, or kill them in the process. Meanwhile, Bud and Chris will get into all kinds of trouble as they drive north from Florida.

Is It Any Good?

This film has several laugh-out-loud moments, many meant-to-shock sequences, and even some tender scenes of friendship between its two male leads. But like the Borat and Jackass films before it, Bad Trip will turn many audiences off with its over-the-top vulgarity, violence, and gross-out scenes, mostly involving bodily fluids (go ahead and imagine the worst because it's all here). The actors are all convincing in their roles: Howery as the sweet underdog Bud, Andre as the misguided but well-intentioned Chris, Conlin as love interest Maria, and especially Haddish as the hilariously unhinged bully Trina. A perennial comic tool, the male characters seem stuck in a prolonged adolescence. You can tell the cast and crew had a blast making this movie, but even if it's sometimes a fun ride, it definitely won't be for everyone.

The hidden-camera genre always offers some insights into human behavior. It's eye-opening to see how regular people react in completely abnormal circumstances, like a man getting raped by a gorilla, a woman escaping prison or threatening to throw a man off a building, and two men emerging from a spectacular car crash. Some speak out, others ignore what's going on, and some offer advice or assistance -- even in committing a crime. Most pull out their phones and begin filming. This movie is set primarily in Black neighborhoods and businesses up the Southeast corridor between Florida and New York except for some notable exceptions, like an all-White cowboy bar. A final, racially-tinged sequence is reminiscent of Borat at the Conservative Political Action Conference and pays homage to the Wayans brothers' 2004 movie White Chicks . Stick around for the end credits to see how some of the unsuspecting bystanders react when they're told they've been pranked.

Talk to Your Kids About ...

Families can talk about the ethics behind films like Bad Trip , which involve unsuspecting bystanders in pranks and unscripted scenes. Do you think the people involved gave their consent to be included in the film? How do you know?

Do you think the film goes too far at any point in its vulgarity or antics? If so, when and why?

A man appears to help Trina escape from prison, and another suggests Bud not tell the police that the car he has just crashed is stolen. Do these men seem to be willing to aide in crimes? What do you make of this?

How does this film compare to other similar movies, like the Borat films or Jackass ?

Movie Review: Bad Trip (2021)

• Maxance Vincent
• Movie Reviews
• --> March 28, 2021

2021 has been an incredible year for absurdist comedies that push the boundaries of socially acceptable humor to the extremes. Josh Greenbaum’s “Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar” is still the funniest (and best) film of the year (so far), but there’s a new competitor in town that dares to go back to the hidden camera pranks of MTV’s “Jackass” era: Bad Trip . Co-produced by “Jackass” filmmaker Jeff Tremaine and directed by “The Eric Andre Show” helmer Kitao Sakurai, Bad Trip contains some of the funniest hidden camera pranks since 2002’s “Jackass: The Movie,” with an extra level of authenticity that’s never been truly reached before.

The film’s framing device is rather simple: Chris (Eric André, “ Rough Night ”) rekindles with the high-school love of his life, Maria Li (Michaela Conlin, “ Enchanted ”) while working at a smoothie shop, which prompts him to go on a road trip to New York City with his best friend, Bud (Lil Rel Howery, “ Get Out ”), to go after Maria. They embark in Bud’s sister Trina’s (Tiffany Haddish, “ Nobody’s Fool ”) stolen car without knowing that she recently broke out of prison and is currently on the lookout for them.

The “road trip” device serves as a quasi-excuse for André, Howery, and Haddish to prank real people without ever being afraid of pushing it to the extremes. And this is what makes Bad Trip particularly funny: Seeing Eric André and others perform exuberant acts of total “shock-slapstick” comedy for a completely impervious public and always going the extra mile to make every situation as uncomfortable as possible. For example, Chris works at a smoothie shop, with a total disregard of basic hygiene protocols (this is particularly timely in the COVID era we currently live in) and, after seeing “the love of his life” for the first time in a year, accidentally puts his hand in a blender which begins to splatter out *lots* of blood. The timing is impeccable, especially when the hidden cameras brilliantly capture the customers’ natural reactions of pure disgust and, finally, shock. And this bit only gives a taste of what’s to come, with the pranks becoming more elaborate (and sometimes reaching downright terrifying levels of comedy) as the film moves along.

Eric André is, in my opinion, one of the funniest comedians living today — and continues to prove his dynamite timing with this film. This feels like a movie especially crafted for him (and his friends) to showcase just how talented he is at not only physical comedy, but also improvisation. Many of the sequences with real people aren’t scripted, and André’s quick-thinking makes him shine in almost every single one of these scenes. This is most evident because the film’s scripted scenes that supposedly “move the plot forward” are incredibly dull and uninspired to watch. Of course, you’re not going to watch Bad Trip for the plot — chances are you’re watching the movie for André and Sakurai’s skills at revitalizing a (seemingly) long-dead sub-genre of comedy, which is fine, but the plot should’ve still been more polished and feel less rushed.

Also, running at almost 79-minutes without credits, the movie doesn’t have enough time to properly develop character depth or the relationships between Chris, Bud, and Trina effectively, forgoing that to go to the “good stuff” quickly. It’s safe to say, if you want your audience to truly immerse themselves to not only the insane hidden-camera sequences Sakurai and André put on display, it helps to have compelling characters. Without them, the hidden-camera sequences feel completely detached from the alleged story piecing it all together.

Still, Bad Trip begs to be experienced. It brilliantly recaptures the unflinching insanity of Jeff Tremaine’s “Jackass” triptych whilst reaching new levels of stranger participation and authenticity Tremaine’s films were never able to achieve. Put the poorly-developed story aside and have fun with Kitao Sakurai’s boundary-pushing comedy that’s sure to elicit an insane amount of laughter . . . though be warned of its audacity to shock with many gross-out sequences. If you loved “Jackass,” you will absolutely adore Bad Trip . Take the plunge on Netflix — you will most certainly not regret it.

‘Bad Trip’ Review: Eric Andre’s Raunchy, Riotous Prank Terrorizes America

A shock-and-awe prank film that transplants rom-com hijinks into reality.

It’s a romantic comedy cliché: Boy goes on outrageous quest to win back the girl of his dreams, an adventure fueled by derring-do and impassioned speeches that gain urgency as the violins swell. Onscreen, those manic you-complete-me moments make audiences swoon. But in reality, they’d look like “Bad Trip,” a squirm-worthy exercise in vicarious humiliation that welds the rom-com formula to a gross-out prank show. Directed by Kitao Sakurai and produced by “Jackass” co-creator Jeff Tremaine, “Bad Trip” hands lovelorn loser Chris ( Eric Andre , who co-wrote the film with Sakurai and Dan Curry) a safe word (“popcorn”) and the keys to a hot pink Crown Victoria, and sets the comedian loose to terrorize unsuspecting bystanders along a northbound interstate from Florida to Manhattan, where he intends to profess his love to his middle school crush Maria (Michaela Conlin of “Bones”).

Riding shotgun is Lil Rey Howery as Chris’ best friend Bud, and on their trail storms a terrifyingly incognito Tiffany Haddish , tatted and volatile, posing as Bud’s older sister Trina, a sociopathic prison escapee who barges into restaurants brandishing Chris and Bud’s picture and convinces strangers they might have to testify in a murder trial. Will these good citizens rat out Andre’s besotted Chris, who drips pathos like a leaking hose, and the charmingly sincere Howery? Alas, the average civilian lacks the courage of a movie hero. Groans one man, “I wasn’t ready to be Samuel L. Jackson in ‘The Negotiator.’”

Popular on Variety

The result is sniggering slapstick that’s two-parts biological fluids and one-part salute to the innate empathy of mankind, often in the same scene. Take the zoo tour where Chris attempts to impress Maria by sneaking into the cage of an amorous gorilla for a selfie. The scene quickly becomes repellant for reasons better left to the imagination. Yet his fellow tourists’ concern adds a dash of sugar, even if their advice is merely untested hunches (“Don’t look him in the eye!”) or relationship insights (“Would she go out there for you?”) that could wait until Chris has pulled up his pants. Not everyone is so kind. When Andre and Howery barge into a barbershop with their unmentionables conjoined in a Chinese finger trap, a knife-wielding man chases them down the street. (Afterwards, Howery nearly quit.)

“Bad Trip” is an extension of Andre and Sakurai’s eight-year creative partnership on Adult Swim’s “The Eric Andre Show,” five seasons of aggressive performance art disguised as a talk show. Andre disables the part of his amygdala that restrains him from holding strangers’ babies until they cry or unnerving guests with cockroaches and jump scares. The goal of his stunts isn’t to make his patsies angry. It’s to make them feel as though reality has cracked open under their feet, to tectonically upend normal codes of behavior so that even the audience is unsettled by their own laughter. Is it funny when Haddish pretends to break out of a police van and pressures a witness to lie to the cops? Yes and no. But while it’s possible to have empathy for an individual, in the aggregate, the movie’s marks become hilarious carnage.

Sakurai’s favorite hidden camera closeups aren’t of people snarling in anger (though there’s plenty of that). It’s of someone slack-jawed that they’d entered someplace benign — a juice bar, a car wash, a grocery store — only to suddenly bear witness to Andre’s extreme joy or shame. His Chris suffers the emotional equivalent of Johnny Knoxville shooting himself out of a cannon. When Chris asks a random guy on a bench if he should surprise Maria in New York, the man advises him to go for it. When Chris leaps up and starts to sing, the now-invested stranger grins, “He’s in love!” But when Chris jazz-dances into a mall food court, a shopper kicks in panic. Someone that happy has got to be dangerous.

However, Andre’s social experiments prove that the majority of Americans truly want to be helpful. This makes the film oddly heartening, whether from an Army recruitment officer who gives Chris a needed boost, or from a diner waitress who edits the sex out of a draft of Chris’ climactic profession of love. “Be more romantic,” she advises. How long? At least “30 minutes to an hour.” As the end credits roll, “Bad Trip” plays a montage of people learning they’ve been pranked, which eases the psychic damage. That the pranksters are the most imperiled by their hoaxes offers a bruising absolution. Still, as Haddish barges up to a policeman to ask him for a kiss, it’s hard not to pray: It’s only a movie, it’s only a movie.

‘Bad Trip’ Review: On the Road, Leaking Fluid

Two pranksters, and a brace of hidden cameras, travel across country in this jauntily gross comedy.

• Share full article

By Jeannette Catsoulis

Strictly for devotees of degrading pranks and public humiliation, Kitao Sakurai’s “Bad Trip” — a “Jackass”-style road movie belching clouds of poor taste — follows two hapless dreamers from Florida to New York City.

Strapping squalid stunts on the back of a dopey narrative, this hidden-camera Netflix comedy sends Chris (Eric Andre, of the supremely weird “The Eric Andre Show” ) and his friend Bud (Lil Rel Howery) on a cross-country quest for romance. Chris has learned that his onetime high-school crush (Michaela Conlin) is working in a Manhattan art gallery, and he plans to declare his still-fervent devotion.

Contrasting the starry-eyed innocence of this goal with the pair’s repellent misadventures en route, the screenplay (by Andre, Sakurai and Dan Curry) concentrates on bathing its leads in as many noxious emissions as possible. Fake vomit, urine and gorilla ejaculate squirt across the screen as our heroes horrify the unsuspecting patrons of a cowboy bar and a zoo, exemplifying pranks queasily fixated on orificial and genital abuse. Bud’s wrathful sister (Tiffany Haddish), whose beloved car the two have pinched, might be murderously in pursuit, but she can take her time: Her prey won’t get very far with their penises stuck in a Chinese finger trap.

However effortful, the movie’s tricks are more likely to activate your gorge than your funny bone. An end-credits reveal of the hidden cameras to the film’s good-natured dupes has a humorous purity that’s unexpected and appealing — if far too late to mitigate the dreck that has gone before.

Bad Trip Rated R. Did I mention the gorilla ejaculate? Running time: 1 hour 24 minutes. Watch on Netflix.

Bad Trip Movie Review

Bad Trip is one rollercoaster which finds itself in the category of those prank films, which actually works fantastically. Its a narrative crafted through a never-ending series of pranks and social experiments which not only elevate the humour but surprisingly give the plot a structure. Each prank is over the top and screams Eric Andre, but at the same time they aren’t trying to highlight anyone in wrong or do those kinds of social experiments. It dwells into so many, outright disgusting, moments yet it somehow feels so realistically wholesome and well-conceived.

Bad Trip Movie is Eric Andre’s Masterpiece

Chris (Played by Eric Andre) is a low life, who has spent his entire life doing odd jobs and one fine day he discovers his past crush Maria (Played by Michaela Conlin). So he and his best buddy, Bud (Played by Lil Rel Howery), decide that they are gonna go to New York to meet Maria in her Art Gallery and Chris will propose and make love to her. However, Bud’s evil sister, Trina (Tiffany Haddish), gets freakish and mad that the boys stole their pink “Bad Bitch” wagon to go to New York. And that’s basically the plot.

A classic buddy comedy movie which works by the presence of real-life pranks. The performances are actually really enjoyable which is evident by the fact that how pranks always make you cringe in a good way. I feel like this is very understated, but Eric Andre is a genius. He can go to any length, suffer any consequences and bewilder anyone in order to get that footage on cam.

Throughout his career, whether it is the Eric Andre show or Bad Trip, his comedy has always been dependent on one thing, reaction. What he does is some of the most outrageous things a 20 year old can think of, but why it appeals us is because no one ever, in their years of existence, thought something like this will unravel in front of their eyes. The Gorilla prank in Bad Trip being one of the best examples.

The wholesomeness of Bad Trip

Eric Andre makes this ride worthy yet the performances by Lil Rel Howery and Tiffany Haddish are also so convincing. Howery, I thought went under-utilized, but Tiffany had a solid line up of pranks and she absolutely nails it. Her anger and rage is comical enough to drive the attention and authentic enough to drive a reaction.

From going to a random police officer saying she wants to kiss him to hanging Eric from a building, every scene involving her was pure fun. Bad Trip isn’t trying to make its victims feel bad and the film actually becomes undeniably wholesome. The entire sequence of how Eric apologizes to Rel in a bus screamed cliche buddy scene, yet the reactions and the claps felt genuine, because they really were genuine. This singlehandedly eliminates the pretentiousness that is present in so many buddy movies by setting the entire scene in a real thriving environment. It purposely highlights how people take active participation in the things going on around them. They convince Eric to pursue his love, not give up on his life and make amends with his best friends and they are responding, not by a script, but by their conscience. This helps bring a certain humanity in a movie which is riddled with vile and atrociously entertaining pranks.

The logistics and the filming of Bad Trip must have been one heck of a task. In the end credits, they show how many different pranks they shot before they actually got a reaction which would be suitable for the plot of the movie. This kind of dedication to realism and fiction blows my mind. I am not trying to say that this movie will work for everyone, I know it won’t and it probably isn’t the best Reality-Fiction movie out there (Borat takes the cake for me), but it just felt so fun to watch Eric do something with the real public rather than celebs.

The climax of this movie is the one prank which absolutely blew me away, and I felt ashamed of myself that I didn’t see it coming. Bad Trip puts actors on a timeline, a timeline to produce the best reactions possible. Their job isn’t done until they find something usable for the movie, so they keep doing this over and over again and it is their dedication I have give it up for. I think Bad Trip sort of makes me feel bad about staying in home for so long because the public participation of this movie is beyond amazing. Go check Bad Trip out on Netflix now if you crave a wild ride or vile pranks with a pinch of wholesomeness.  

Bad Trip Movie Critical Reception

Bad Trip stands at 73% on Rotten Tomatoes with the consensus being, “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.” Its Metascore is 60 with Mixed or average reviews based on 17 Critic Reviews.

The Movie Culture Synopsis

Bad Trip is the most fun you will have while watching a prank movie. Its gross and unsettling yet the endgame of the movie is to make one feel good about Humanity. Eric Andre is the all out star of this film and he deserves to be seen in his full glory.

Bad Trip Reviews

Bad Trip is a farcical romp, but it is a stupidly funny romp that will catch you off guard more often than not.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Jan 22, 2023

Could be better, could be worse: when it's firing on all comedic cylinders, it really fires, and when it whiffs, it really whiffs.

Full Review | Original Score: C+ | Nov 23, 2022

Bad Trip is a raucous road trip comedy that gives stars Eric André, Lil Rel Howery, and Tiffany Haddish the space to show off their side-splitting skills.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Sep 1, 2022

The kinder, younger brother to Borat and Jackass, Bad Trip confronts real people with absurd situations and celebrates their virtues when they choose kindness.

Full Review | Dec 29, 2021

The gross-out pranks reveal something optimistic about humanity: When presented with extreme distress, people tend to reach out and help.

Full Review | Sep 14, 2021

Like Borat Subsequent Moviefilm, Bad Trip is a case of hidden cameras that aim to build up human solidarity, and it's reassuring in a way that is very helpful to those in strenuous situations.

Full Review | Sep 9, 2021

Perhaps the most shocking thing about Trip: it's a surprisingly sweet, sympathetic film.

Full Review | Original Score: B | Aug 27, 2021

There's another, 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...

Full Review | Jul 19, 2021

In the vein of Jackass and Borat, but with a more innocent humor, this film serves to (re) discover the comic talent of Eric André. [Full Review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 22, 2021

Yeah, it's not a good movie, but you'll probably laugh a couple of times...

Full Review | Jun 14, 2021

All that matters with a movie like Bad Trip is if it delivers on the comedy front, and in that regard, the film provides a fair amount of guffaws.

Full Review | Jun 6, 2021

This movie is as gross-out and low brow as they come. It's also really, really funny.

Full Review | May 26, 2021

A hidden romantic comedy that is actually another one of these bromances I love so much and a needed relief today. [Full Review in Spanish]

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | May 17, 2021

Kitao Sakurai's hidden-camera comedy may seem shallow at the outset, but it has more to offer than cheap laughs and gross-out humour... These brief glimpses of humanity broaden the film's emotional range and elevate it within its genre.

Full Review | Apr 28, 2021

Sophomoric fare...

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Apr 23, 2021

The modern "low" comedy...Tiffany Haddish is almost scary, which compounds this three-Stooges-level (but potent) comedy.

Full Review | Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 14, 2021

Bad Trip is very funny and a strong example of what this format can offer.

Full Review | Original Score: 8/10 | Apr 14, 2021

Bad Trip is a perfect film. There. I said it.

Full Review | Apr 9, 2021

The film is Borat meets Dude Where's My Car , and I mean that in a good way. It's a near perfect silly hidden camera comedy, but one scene nearly ruins it all.

Full Review | Original Score: B- | Apr 8, 2021

With hidden-camera pranks there is an inherent tension. This tension fills every scene, which is designed to go South with the smallest provocation...It's that tension that keeps the narrative adrenaline pumping.

Full Review | Apr 6, 2021

Review: It’s only a ‘Bad Trip’ if it doesn’t make you laugh

• Copy Link URL Copied!

The thing about critiquing almost any comedian is that you will inevitably find yourself coming up against avid (if not rabid) fans insistent that you just don’t “get” the work. Eric Andre in particular, with his trademark Dadaist impulses and penchant for all things uncomfortably nude, is undoubtedly one of those figures. Those who enjoy his surreal and animated style of laughs will be quick to defend the comedian, citing his ability to deconstruct staid notions of late-night television and bland stand-up with his long-running Adult Swim series “The Eric Andre Show.”

On the other hand, his detractors would rightfully point to Andre’s history of transphobic, fatphobic, and myriad other jokes which serve only to punch down at certain individuals who, one might argue, have already been punched down on enough.

Which is why “Bad Trip,” the long-awaited hidden-camera comedy flick helmed by long-time “Eric Andre Show” director Kitao Sakurai , is such a curious film. Ostensibly a buddy road movie following Chris Carey (Andre, also a co-writer) and best friend Bud Malone (Lil Rel Howery) as they travel cross-country to New York, “Bad Trip” seems to be aware of these criticisms of Andre and the way in which they would be further visible in a wide-release movie (now launching on Netflix ). The jump from Adult Swim to feature film has been accompanied by a watering down of Andre’s unpredictable absurdities and instead offers a much more conventional approach to its prankster schematics.

The laughs are certainly there, but Andre’s almost trademark sense of intentional derangement is missing and in many ways, this is one of his strengths as a performer. Sure, there are the juvenile gags that form many of the film’s comedic centerpieces — a scene involving boisterous gorilla sex comes to mind as one of several moments that attempts to tap into Andre’s chaotic energy but fizzles out, leaving instead the bad taste of an obvious, if not adolescent, bit. While for some this style of failure might only deepen their appreciation for Andre and the ways in which they view him as a sort of anti-comedian, it’s also imperative to remember that the phrase anti-comedy should not act as a synonym for shallow, empty or thoughtless.

The film loosely entwines its real-world pranks with an overarching story that knows itself to be a farce, but can’t help but be burdened by its halfhearted tries at sincerity. Andre is not a strong enough actor to pull this particular positioning off but then again, that is anything but the point here. Even within that, the slack nature of “Bad Trip’s” premise is enough to put in higher relief both the successes and failures of the comedy’s gags. The former has a sharp ability to see the innately comedic textures of humanity (further seen in the film’s delightful post-credits sequence), while the latter is too staged and likewise rigidly edited (particularly toward the film’s front end which too often takes on the tonality of a warm-up).

For a cornier, more establishment type of comedian, the kind of story environment emblematic of these failures might be par for the course but for an iconoclast like Andre, the misses here can be glaring — I doubt even his most stringent detractors would honestly be able to call Andre a mediocre or average performer. Which is why it is so disappointing that “Bad Trip” falls just as easily into humdrum ordinariness as much as it does its most simple and effective bits.

Andre’s influences have always been clear, from Sacha Baron Cohen to Tom Green to the “Jackass” bunch, but they struggle in the present when faced with Andre’s move from surrealism to literalism. Unlike oft-cited inspiration and Borat star Cohen, Andre’s previous world-making has been exactly out of this world, if not a complete undoing and deflation of it. While he is able to elevate the everyday to the level of the comedic through a more even-keeled yet effective style of absurdity here, there is a certain degree of impact missing that will will be expected given the star. While Howery provides the perfect foil to Andre’s Chris and Tiffany Haddish (here playing Bud’s prison-breaking sister, Trina Malone) is, as always, nothing but an expert improviser (and arguably the reason to see “Bad Trip”), it is Andre’s strange turn to reality which will leave audiences searching for more.

All of this said and done, if it makes you laugh (and I mean really makes you laugh) as it often did me, that can be salve enough.

Bad Trip Movie Review

by Rob Smith April 9, 2021, 3:56 pm

If a good laugh is what you need, look no further than Netflix Comedy “ Bad Trip ” starring Tiffany Haddish , Lil Rel Howery, Michaela Conlin, Eric André and one Bad Bitch. Bad Trip Movie Review

A rollercoaster of hysterical hidden camera pranks lead you on a journey of self discovery with Chris Carey (André) and his best friend Bud Malone (Howery) as they embark on a road trip from Florida to New York. A cornrowed and face tatted Trina Malone (Haddish) is the one thing that may stop Carey from professing love to his high school crush Maria Li (Conlin) who now runs an art gallery in Manhattan.

The mix of a well crafted storyline and hilarious performances from the main cast, make this prank style comedy magically delicious. Bad Trip Movie Review

OFFICIAL POSTER Bad Trip Movie Review

Playing on the varied and vibrant culture of the eastern coast, the films journey makes stops in multiple states along the way and is colored in by the real life reactions of unknowing by-standers. Many of whom really stepped up to the plate in situations that would have most people running for the hills. There are some NSFW moments that will have you quite literally rolling on the floor laughing. But don’t you worry. The adult humor and mild nudity was well earned and truly aided in establishing the mind set of each character.

The films 5th cast member, lovingly named “Bad Bitch” by Trina, helps drive the storyline forward. Painted in Pepto Bismol Pink and sporting a tacky window decal, Bad Bitch rolls onto the scene early on and creates enough drama to last the length of the film. Bad Trip Movie Review

One can only hope the team of comic gold behind this project have plans to develop more prank style gut busting films for all of us to enjoy!

‘Bad Trip’: Eric Andre, Tiffany Haddish and Lil Rel Howery Prank America

By David Fear

It makes a certain kind of sense that Bad Trip, Eric André’s entry into the Gonzo Comedy Hall of Fame (see: Jackass, Borat, Bad Grandpa ), starts in Florida. Not that the other 49 states of this fine U.S. of A. don’t have their share of goofballs, chowderheads, numbskulls, fuck-ups and jag-offs; it’s just that this particular Southeastern one has a reputation for American eccentricity that results in eyes bugging out, jaws dropping and shit going very wrong. Those “Florida Man” headlines are well-earned.

And the “Florida Man” energy is strong in this one, right from the get-go: No sooner has the comedian appeared onscreen, rocking a mechanic’s jumpsuit and washing a BMW in a West Grove car wash, then something genuinely WTF happens. If you’ve seen the trailer, you know it involves a vacuum hose and full frontal nudity. It also involves a customer who has no idea that he’s part of an elaborate prank that’s been set up for several rolling cameras, someone who is neither in on the joke nor the butt of it. The guy is just an innocent bystander who suddenly finds himself in the middle of a situation he hadn’t planned for or even possibly imagined, while a naked man tries desperately not to show his dick and balls to the world. “Florida Man Loses Clothes, Flashes Customers in Bizarre Car Detailing Accident.” Normally, you can’t make this stuff up. André engineers it like he’s in charge of a NASA launch.

The scene is over way, way too soon — a problem that plagues a lot of Bad Trip ‘s gotcha scenarios, but that’s the risk you take when you’re literally putting your ass out there when making variable-heavy comedy — but it still does what it needs to do, i.e. set the tone and set up the “story.” Note the scare quotes; abandon all hope, ye who want a narrative here, which is frankly missing the point. This is no more a movie than The Eric André Show is a talk show. (Though the director, Kitao Sakurai, has also worked on that Adult Swim gem.) It’s a delivery system for strung-together Situationist happenings and performance art, a fancy way of saying that everyday people get co-opted into sometime highly elaborate, often hilarious, remarkably effective smart-comics-doing-really-dumb-and-gross shit. Including, in one case, a bit that may or may not have involved being covered in actual fecal matter. We don’t know just how Jackass things got here.

Editor’s picks

Every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, inside sammy davis jr.'s secret satanic past .

Right, sorry, the story: So when Chris (André) is cleaning the unsuspecting gent’s car, a second customer drives up. Her name is Maria (Michaela Conlin), and she was Chris’s high school crush. He was going to ask her out, but then whoosh go his clothes. Later, he finds out she lives in New York and runs an art gallery. If he’s ever town, drop by and see her. So Chris grabs his best friend Bud (Lil Rel Howery), they take the pink Crown Victoria that belongs to Bud’s sister, Trina ( Tiffany Haddish ) — she’s in prison, it’s all good — and plan a road trip to visit Chris’s soulmate. When Trina “releases” herself from the clink, she finds out that her car’s been stolen and decides to track these guys down across the Eastern seaboard.

There’s a version of Bad Trip in which you pay attention to this tender story of best friends who’ll do anything for each other, who have their ups and downs but still have each other’s backs, rednecks and psycho siblings and cops be damned. The version you’ll probably want to push to the forefront, however, is the one where these three comedians, respectively and together, stage the kind of truly outrageous shenanigans that make you wonder how the hell they got out of these scenes alive. Looking at my notes, I see nothing but a series of phrases: “Chinese Finger Trap,” “Smoothie Shop Blender,” “Cowboy Bar,” “Projectile Vomiting,” “A Priest,” “The Hamptons,” “Gorilla Selfie.” (That last one is genuinely above and beyond the call of duty.) To try and explain what they mean wouldn’t do the gags justice, though I will say that a sequence involving a a movie-musical number in a mall — which includes singing, dancing, a giant wedding cake and the threat of actual violence — is a work of genius.

In other, the sheer hilariousness of a number of individual bits here are enough to get you past slow spots and a few D.O.A. duds, and you come out of Bad Trip with a serious appreciation for this trio’s chops and ability to go with the flow. (Four, actually: Conlin can more than hold her own when she needs to.) And unlike the Jackass crew’s how-low-can-you-go competitions and Borat ‘s politicized exposés, there’s almost a sweetness to the way these folks prank the public. The everyday folks who find themselves having to deal with angry ex-cons or exchanges spiraling out of control aren’t marks; they’re more like collaborators in the movie’s “what if” set-ups. For every encounter in which you fear that André or Howery or Haddish are actually going to get the snot beat of out of them for antagonizing folks, there are a half dozen examples of people stepping in and defusing things, offering help, trying to de-escalate a blow-up. The end credits roll feature a bunch of “smile, you’re on Candid Camera” reveals that lead to smiles and yelps of “oh my god, that was crazy!” The joke’s not on them. They were just a key part of the trip.

Netflix’s Bad Trip Might Help You Feel Better About Our Broken Nation

It might not be entirely accurate to call the new Eric Andre film Bad Trip a prank comedy, since prank comedies often turn on making unsuspecting people look like idiots. Punk’d , for example, was all about putting unaware celebrities into situations where they would (hopefully) act like dolts or hypocrites for all the world to see. Da Ali G Show often did the same with politicians, and the Borat movies, of course, do it with the entire United States of America. Even the uncontrollably nutty prank segments on The Eric Andre Show generally require more activity on the part of the ordinary citizens that have wandered in front of its hidden cameras. They are, for all intents and purposes, still the subjects of the gags in question.

Bad Trip , however, doesn’t really take aim at its unwitting bystanders. More often than not, the movie is a closed circuit of idiocy, whereby the actual actors act like buffoons with each other, leaving everyone else — all the real people, as it were — to just observe and react (or, in some cases, not). And weirdly, it’s refreshingly free of cynicism. Most of the bystanders in the film seem to be helpful, tolerant, sensible — which seems downright shocking at a moment in time when we’ve all been told that we hate each other’s guts. Bad Trip might be a dumb, gross candid-camera comedy, but don’t be surprised if it makes you feel a little better about your world.

It’s also absurdly funny, though it’s not quite absurd ist , unlike the genuinely bizarre, did-I-dream-that heights of Andre’s ruthlessly inventive Adult Swim show, with which it shares a creative team, including director Kitao Sakurai. (This film was produced by Jackass ’ Jeff Tremaine, who admittedly did something similar with the surprisingly heartwarming Johnny Knoxville stunt-comedy Bad Grandpa eight years ago.) Bad Trip ’s brand of comedy accelerates between standard slow-burn humiliation and outright gross-out shock, but the fact that it’s all happening out in public, in front of all to see, lends the proceedings an electric unpredictability.

You can see this very early on, as Chris (Andre), working at a carwash, awkwardly takes a customer into his confidence about how another customer who just arrived, Maria (Michaela Conlin), was the girl he had a crush on in high school. He tells the man he’s still desperately in love with Maria and determined to finally ask her out. Then, suddenly, all of Chris’s clothes are sucked off his body by an overzealous vacuum cleaner, and the poor customer is forced to ask Maria for her phone number, all while an extremely naked Chris hides in one of the cars and eggs him on. The cringe comedy tenderizes us for the bigger, broader gags, and vice versa. It’s not sophisticated stuff (especially compared to the gonzo hidden camera gags on The Eric Andre Show , with its surreal, delirious, complex pranks built within other pranks), but there’s a method to it.

The story, such as it is, is so thin it’s practically translucent. Still dreaming about Maria, who curates a gallery in New York, Chris convinces his best friend Bud (Lil Rel Howery) to go on a road trip from Florida to New York. To do so, they take Bud’s sister Trina’s car, since she’s behind bars. Of course, Trina (Tiffany Haddish) escapes (with the conflicted aid of an unsuspecting mensch, whom she enlists in helping her get out from under the prison bus where she’s been hiding) and goes after our heroes with a vengeance. Along the way, everyone gets in a variety of scrapes: Chris has an unspeakable encounter with a gorilla at a zoo, while Trina hijacks a cop car by ripping off its door, all while everyone around them looks on in befuddled shock.

Sometimes, they’re more than shocked. At a bar where Chris gets blitzed and falls off a wall, an off-duty nurse in the crowd rushes to his aid. (He promptly projectile vomits all over her — but to her credit, she continues trying to assist him.) After Chris and Bud get in a seemingly horrific car wreck and then bicker with one another, eyewitnesses intervene and try to de-escalate the situation. When a distraught Chris goes to an Army recruiting stand and tells the soldier he wants to enlist because he wants to die, the man actually tries to talk him down. Late in the film, as Trina hangs Chris off the roof of a building and threatens to throw him over, a group of people at street-level try to negotiate with her. In contrast to Sacha Baron Cohen’s Borat Sagdiyev, who tends to lead with his contempt (with admittedly often glorious and surprising results ), wherever Chris, Bud, and Trina go, they find their fellow Americans not just willing to help them out, but often knowing how to do so. (An unspoken but poignant thread running through the picture is the suggestion that these anonymous bystanders might have found themselves in similarly extreme situations before, for far less entertaining reasons.)

Though Bad Trip is a loose, often shapeless movie, its focus on the common humanity of those caught by its lenses is certainly a choice on the part of the filmmakers. It wouldn’t have been hard to accelerate these situations to the point where everyone began to act like jerks, and one presumes plenty of stuff has been cut out. (We do see some outtakes over the end credits, along with footage of people learning that they’ve been on camera all this time.) I don’t want to oversell Bad Trip — if it doesn’t make you laugh, chances are it will annoy the shit out of you — but its generosity toward our fellow humans can, at times, be genuinely moving.

Review by Karsten ★★★★

first 10 minutes were not clicking at all but it got so good....so fast. like as soon as the musical number parody happened it got extremely fun. this is pretty much all my favorite parts of the eric andre show in one movie with the added bonus of being suchhh a clever way of using hidden camera pranks in film. probably the best hidden camera prank movie if we’re being honest? 

just so glad that this makes up for eric andre’s extremely disappointing standup special from last year (that i’m still not over, apparently)

Review by Josh Lewis ★★★★ 9

Has exactly one joke but that joke is fucking genius and incredibly well-realized in the filmmaking. Obviously the Jackass movies and other comedy shows like Nathan For You have done hidden camera pranks while playing characters but there's a unique energy that comes with this almost front-to-back being completely indistinguishable from a cliché scripted studio comedy; the formal structure, pacing, and rhythm of scenes, even specific dramatic shot choices. Capturing these heightened tropes we buy into when we watch movies and then populating them with real people on the periphery to introduce spontaneity (that frequently doesn't play much differently than say improv) and get the most incredible reaction shots imaginable. There are some amazing set pieces conceived and I haven't…

Review by demi adejuyigbe 5

This is outstanding. Takes the beats of a by-the-numbers studio comedy and plays it out with unwitting participants in a way that reveals just how much true human nature is reflected in even the least believable parts of those movies (which is a real chicken-egg scenario, because who knows if that's a reflection of how much we all wanna be the people in those movies!) If aliens came to Earth and needed proof that humans were good, I think I'd show them this movie!

Love love loved it. Already feel like I wanna rewatch it, which is the mark of a special movie to me. I think the psychology of hidden camera prank movies like this is so interesting that…

Okay, is having a dude who looks and sounds like Hannibal Burress but isn't Hannibal Burress play the part that was clearly written for Hannibal Burress a bit?

Review by Ayo Edebiri ★★★★½ 6

Such a fun idea executed really creatively! I think it’s fun when a movie is fun and that’s it!!!

Also tbh so much more fun than B*rat 2, where SBC clearly thinks he’s like Jesus and then tries to show people’s like (??) inner prejudices (which I’ve always hated bc like...girl, I’m black lol...I know) and (frankly) then does nothing about them.

The blooper reel especially made me love this movie. A lot of people’s first instincts are to either mind their business or to help. Nothing really sinister about it...just trying to have fun.....ok.....I laughed so much....

spielberg better hold off releasing his west side story remake because this is the only love story about a guy chasing a girl called maria i need this year

Review by SilentDawn ★★★★½ 2

Such a thrilling comedy. Real life taking shape as a movie. Best laugh: the random dude who brought up Samuel L. Jackson in The Negotiator .

Review by Eli Hayes ★★★★½ 9

One of the best comedic satires of the century, in my book. Kitao Sakurai and Eric André's Cabin Boy. An absurdly hysterical social and filmic commentary created through inconceivable but perfect methods of cinematic magic. Structure and form as spy cameras capturing reactions and moving the characters, or personas, forward. Security images as propellers which drive the roles to their ridiculous "finish." Really though, the film has no beginning or end (in the same sense of the slick transitions between the cameras, tones, etc. used to distinguish multiple aesthetic realities). It amalgamates flawlessly, ultimately existing in the faction of our subconscious aching to see an amusing interruption or disturbance from the colorless status quo.

Review by Matt Singer ★★★★½

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.

A magnificent tribute to the power of motion pictures in general, and specifically to the power of the motion picture White Chicks . If you don’t laugh at this movie, consult a physician immediately. The only problem with Bad Trip  is I didn’t get to see it in a theater — because it would have been even funnier with a crowd.

a beautiful ode to the human ability to be cool and generous with strangers even in bizarre and uncomfortable circumstances

A review by rsanek

Written by rsanek on march 30, 2021.

Watched a little over half. I've never been a huge fan of Andre's style of surreal humor, and I can't say this film changed my opinion. I did think having a narrative to frame some of the 'pranks' was useful, though the story itself was far too contrived (perhaps purposefully?) to do anything but provide a respite between skits. Also, where's Hannibal Buress in this? Felt a bit weird to see him swapped for Lil Rel Howery, but perhaps it's related to his stepping away from The Eric Andre Show .
