Bad Trip (2021) - Zero stars

“Bad Trip” is an aggressively unfunny film. It’s another hidden camera film with extreme pranks like the “Jackass” and “Borat” movies. It feels very much like “Jackass” meets “Dumb And Dumber”. While all those films were mixed bags, there isn’t a single second of “Bad Trip” this is even vaguely amusing.

Eric André stars as the goofy Chris, who hits the road with pal Bud (Lil Rel Howery “Free Guy”). Chris is hoping to get the girl of his dreams and along the way, the duo of idiots will get into all sorts of woefully unfunny scenarios including being sexually assaulted by a gorilla.

I’m not really familiar with Eric André but apparently, he has his own tv show. If it’s remotely like “Bad Trip” then I feel sympathy for anybody who has had to endure it. I can’t imagine André to be amusing, even in incredibly small doses. The characters are just not engaging and their interactions with the public are not amusing either. Hidden camera comedians can be really funny, just look at some of the “Impractical Jokers” episodes. Also, some of “Facejacker” was entertaining as well so there is just no excuse for the work of André and his colleagues to be this poor.

“Bad Trip” has one of the most appropriate titles of all-time. In fact, its only flaw is that it doesn’t go far enough to help you contemplate just how awful an experience it is going to be. This is a despicably bad movie. It’s about a road trip but it feels more like a hostage situation. It’s one unfunny scenario after another, glued together with some abominable writing and performances. If you really loved the “Jackass” films and you think “Dumb And Dumber” is one of the best movies from Jim Carrey then maybe, you will find something of value in “Bad Trip”. If you do, it will be something that eluded me.
