This is basically one of those shock movies, and it is a lot like Borat, except that it is less political, and a lot more extreme. I was going to suggest that the shock parts were worse, but Borat can be pretty shocking at times as well. I was also going to suggest that this film has a story as well, but so does Borat, so I guess the films are quite similar. However, as I suggested, Borat is designed to open our eyes to what the real United States looks like, whereas Bad Trip is really just designed for a few laughs, more so with the people that are in the film as opposed to the audience.
Yeah, when I take about shock value, we have scenes where the protagonist accidentally puts his hand in a blender, and of course blood spews out everywhere. There is also the scene where he decides to go and get a selfie with a gorilla, and I won't say anything more about that, but the thing is that the people that are in the scene don't realise that this is all fake, so in a way the humour is more the reactions of the people in the scene than anything else.
The story, for want of a better word, has the protagonist meet a high school sweetheart (well not quite because I suspect the attraction was all one way) and then goes on a road trip from Florida to New York to meet up with her. As with pretty much every road trip film, they had adventures along the way. The other thing is that the car that they take doesn't belong to them, but rather to the sister of the other protagonist, and his sister has just escaped from gaol and is basically on the warpath. This certainly does lead to quite some interesting scenes.
I have to admit that the pranks that they played were pretty good, and pretty elaborate as well. Some of them I actually wonder how they got away with, such as driving a police car, that has obviously been stolen, down the freeway with the door missing (I suspect that it isn't a real police car). There are others, but this is certainly not a film for the easily offended. Still, it's actually pretty good, and as I mentioned, the pranks that they play are quite ingenious. Personally, I'm not saying anymore because - shock value.
