Bad Trip

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...

As if to counteract the bummer of watching a 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.

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 sh*t.

It's a blunt instrument of absurdity, but that's also what makes it so much fun.

Thirty years ago, these incidents may have provoked interesting reactions. Now, people just see them as opportunities for their own content.

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.

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

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

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.

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