Bad Trip is a 2021 Buddy Picture comedy film heavily influenced by Dumb and Dumber and Borat , directed by Kitao Sakurai and starring Eric André , Lil Rel Howery , Tiffany Haddish , and Michaela Conlin .

In pursuit of his high school crush Maria (Conlin), Chris (Andre) takes his best friend Bud (Howery) on a road trip from their small Florida town to New York City in Bud's felon sister Trina (Haddish)'s car. However, Trina has just escaped from jail and pursues them all the way in revenge for taking her car.

In addition to the plot, the film is also a hidden camera show , with extras being unaware that they were shooting for a film and finding out afterwards.

This film provides examples of:

• Chris accidentally sticks his hand in a blender similar to a prank done on The Eric Andre Show .
• There is also a scene where an art gallery is destroyed and Andre’s character drinks window cleaner, just like two other pranks on the show.
• He also tries to get enlisted in the army by asking the recruiting soldier if he could suck his dick.
• Aw, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other : When Bud stands up to Trina at the end, she gives him a hug and tells him that she's proud of him for showing some balls.
• Because You Were Nice to Me : Why Chris is enamored with Maria; he was bullied in school and she was the only one who defended him.
• Bestiality Is Depraved : When Chris tries to get a selfie with a gorilla (obviously a guy in a suit), the gorilla sexually assaults him in multiple ways in front of a crowd of horrified onlookers.
• Beware the Nice Ones : Maria is surprisingly chill when Chris comes over in her art gallery and professes his love to her, but after Trina crashes a stolen police car into her gallery and starts to destroy everything while trying to beat up Chris, she goes ballistic on Chris when he comes to say goodbye, yelling at him to get the fuck out .
• Big Applesauce : Chris and Bud’s destination, where Chris’ love interest, Maria Li, is hosting an art show.
• Big Bad : Bud's sister Trina is the closest thing the movie has to one, following Chris and Bud throughout their road trip and intending to beat the crap out of them for stealing her car.
• Big Sister Bully : Trina has bullied and intimidated Bud throughout his life, even robbing him at his own workplace - until he stands up to her at the end.

• Butt-Monkey : Chris and Bud; Chris undergoes several physical traumas throughout the movie, including cutting up his hand in a blender, falling on a decorative hut while drunk and vomiting everywhere, getting raped by a gorilla , and being dangled from a building by his shirt; this is mostly because he keeps doing impulsive and stupid shit. Bud is bullied by his thuggish sister, Trina, and keeps getting dragged into Chris’ bullshit because he’s too weak-willed to stand up for himself, at least until the near end of movie, where he calls out both of them.
• Candid Camera Prank : The movie is full of these, but unlike in Borat , the unsuspecting movie extras aren't the butt of the jokes, and most of them thought it was Actually Pretty Funny when they found out what was going on.
• Charles Atlas Superpower : Trina is freakishly strong, being able to rip off a car door and hang Chris off a building. According to Bud, she once fried a fish using the warmth of her hand.
• Covers Always Lie : One of the posters depicts Chris and Bud (in their work uniforms) sitting on top of a crashed Bad Bitch on fire in the middle of a country side happily eating ice cream. In the actual film, they crash in a street near Baltimore, bitterly break off their friendship, and only get ice cream after they reconciled and get to New York. Plus, they’re wearing their normal clothes throughout the trip.
• Dance Party Ending : When they crash a party in the Hamptons dressed as white people, Chris, Bud, and Trina make the DJ play, then dance to the DMX song “Party Up” as the credits roll.
• Despair Event Horizon : After accidentally crashing the Bad Bitch, Chris and Bud part ways and Chris, in a deep depression, tries to get enlisted in the army just so that he can get placed in the front lines and get killed.
• Did Not Get the Girl : The whole trip turns turns out to be for naught after Maria reveals that she isn’t interested in Chris, and then after Trina ruins her art show, she burns bridges with Chris out of rage .
• Did Not Think This Through : The reason why Chris keeps getting in trouble throughout the movie.
• Even Evil Has Loved Ones : Trina, despite her bullying of Bud, reveals that it was partly done so that she could toughen him up. She also loved her deceased grandmother, who have gave her the Bad Bitch.
• Every Car Is a Pinto : Downplayed, but some flames burst out from the Bad Bitch after it crashes.
• Excuse Plot : Chris goes on a cross-country road trip to confess to the girl of his dreams, all while being pursued by Bud's psycho older sister. The plot basically exists entirely in service of the pranks.
• From Bad to Worse : When Chris finally meets Maria in New York, he professes his love for her only for her to reject him, since she barely knows him aside from limited interactions in high school. Then, she ends wanting nothing to do with him after his trip to meet her accidentally leads to Trina destroying her art gallery when she tries to kill Chris .
• Also, Chris is grabbed by the balls by Trina when she finds and tries to kill him.
• Identical Stranger : After a fight with Bud, Chris starts stopping guys that look like him, mistaking them for Bud.
• Meaningful Name : Bud's primary narrative role is to be Chris' loyal best friend; in other words, his bud.
• Mushroom Samba : Chris finds what he thinks are mints in the glovebox of the car, that turn out to be some kind of hallucinogen. A wild drug trip ensues that consists mostly of wild shenanigans in a supermarket, and ends with Chris and Bud getting their penises stuck in the Chinese finger trap. It Makes As Much Sense In Context .
• Naked People Are Funny : In the opening scene, Chris accidentally gets his coveralls sucked off by an industrial strength vacuum cleaner.
• Pet the Dog : Chris helps an old woman putting groceries in her car while running late for work.
• Plot-Mandated Friendship Failure : Chris and Bud fight with each other after Chris crashes Trina’s car when Bud finds out that Trina is going after them and Chris tries to stop him by grabbing onto the wheel.
• The Precious, Precious Car : The Bad Bitch, Trina’s customized, pink Ford Crown Victoria that was a gift from her grandma. Unfortunately for her (as well as Bud and Chris), it gets wrecked when Chris tries to stop the car when Bud tries to back out of the trip.
• Road Trip Plot : Chris and Bud are road tripping from Florida to New York to visit Chris' high school crush.
• While driving, Chris has an Imagine Spot about Maria that is very similar to Lloyd's fantasy about Mary. It even ends with him almost hitting a semi head-on. All that's missing is "I Love the Flower Girl" by The Cowsills.
• After a major setback, Chris and Bud have a falling out and Bud decides to go home, only for Chris to catch up to him and reconcile.
• The movie ends with Chris, Bud, and Trina at the Hamptons Disguised in Drag (and whiteface) in an outright stated shout-out to White Chicks .
• Screw This, I'm Outta Here! : After hearing that Trina is looking for them, Bud attempts to go back home, only for Chris to grab the wheel— and crash into two cars and flip over.
• So Proud of You : When Bud stands up to Trina when she tries to drop Chris off a building, she’s so proud that she hugs and (mostly) forgives him for wrecking her car.
• Tempting Fate : When trying to convince Bud to use his sister’s car to help Chris see Maria, Chris brings up that Trina’s in jail and that she’s never getting out. Cue a scene where Trina escapes prison by hiding under a bus.
• Time Skip : The opening is set one year before the events of the movie. In it, Chris tries to talk to Maria who happened to stop by at the auto detailing place where he worked, only to miss his chance due to an accident with a vacuum cleaner stripping him naked, forcing him to hide. The prologue also reveals how Trina got arrested, which is because she robbed Bud’s workplace and took off her house arrest tracker.
• Underside Ride : How Trina escaped prison.
• Violently Protective Girlfriend : In his dream of dating Maria, Chris imagines that another man flirts with her on a date, and she beats the shit out of him, clearly turned on at the spectacle.

A smoothie shop employee with butterflies in his stomach and a bleeding right hand sits next to an older gentleman on a bench. “Can I ask you something?” he prefaces. The worker then proceeds to babble about his crush, Maria. Should he follow her to New York City, and leave Florida behind? The older man offers advice—speaking from the heart—and it fills the younger man’s soul, so much that he leaps from the bench and bursts into song. It’s this young guy’s big romantic moment, and he dances away before almost getting hit by a car, and then sings at people inside a mall, in which one patron tries to side-kick him.  

This hilarious sequence, which overlaps cliché storytelling with the unassuming public, is just one of many endearing moments in “Bad Trip,” a hidden camera comedy gem starring Eric André , Lil Rel Howery , and Tiffany Haddish that’s finally coming out on Netflix. Directed by Kitao Sakurai , the previous director behind numerous episodes of “The Eric André Show,” it shows an evolution in the hidden camera subgenre, given its warming spirit about people. Unlike the films that previously defined the subgenre, it’s not so much about creating a freak show from unsuspecting extras, but in noting what one would do when confronted with someone as delusional as André’s character Chris. Natural human behavior can be extremely funny, and Sakurai and André know it’s possible to bring it out of people without being mean-spirited. Footage in the end credits of the real people excited to learn that they’re in a movie—a comfort for us as well—confirms the chaos is controlled physically and emotionally, and that allows it to be a party.    

“Bad Trip” is an excellent showcase for Eric André—it’s more mainstream than his talk-show-in-hell “The Eric André Show” and less watered down than his recent resume-boosting, commercial work like “The Lion King” and elsewhere. This role lets him scream, sprint, crash into things, and show off that he’s a sweetheart who wants to include you his absurdity. It’s no stretch to say that André is going to be a huge comedic force—I knew this when I caught his Legalize Everything stand-up tour in Chicago in 2019, when he had a sold-out Chicago Theater completely wrapped up in his FaceTime-ing with the parents of random audience members. He’s an affable anarchist with Robin Williams-like verve, and this project lets his burgeoning persona run wild alongside what the film advertises as “Real People. Real Pranks.”  

André’s hilarious earnest Chris is joined in the movie by Lil Rel Howery, who would have been known enough at the time of filming from his scene-stealing turn in “ Get Out ,” but is disguised as Chris’ reserved friend Bud. They have adorable chemistry as two friends in Florida who decide to drive to New York to reunite Chris with his high school crush Maria ( Michaela Conlin ) after two disastrous brief run-ins at Eric’s jobs. They support each other, like when Chris gets extremely drunk at a cowboy bar, or Bud finds himself inside a Porta Potty. Chris is the wide-eyed dreamer, and Bud is the demure rationalist. Their chemistry is as pure as the Golden Girls, so “Thank You For Being a Friend” is featured prominently in the soundtrack, in between scenes of slapstick pranks that further their road trip.  

When Bud and Chris need a car to get to New York City, they “borrow” the bright pink Crown Vic that belongs to Bud’s sister, Trina (Tiffany Haddish), who Bud fears but is relieved when she’s put in jail for breaking house arrest. And yet soon enough, Haddish crawls out from under a prison bus, having broken out and starts looking for her car. When it’s not where she stored it, she hunts Bud and Chris up the Eastern seaboard, making for some incredibly funny, abrasive scenes of her confronting people about whether they’ve seen them or her car that has “Bad Bitch” written on the window. Haddish bulldozes into every set-piece, exemplifying the film’s over-the-top spirit. When talking to progressively uncomfortable strangers, she doesn’t miss a beat and she relishes the opportunity to appear dangerous; when she steals a cop car and burns out of a donut shop parking lot, it’s one of her many triumphant moments.  

“Bad Trip” is a collision of great improvisational actors and authentically bewildered reactions from people unaware that they’re now in Chris’ story—which makes Michaela Conlin’s performance as Maria all the more an essential middle to its Venn diagram. She enters the movie also as an innocent bystander, but that’s a deceptive comic energy that plays out in very funny ways as she pushes back against Chris’ delusions. In Chris’ prank-based daydreams, Conlin matches André’s intensity; that she has to play it straight in later scenes adds to the tension she creates, like when Chris tries to profess his love to her.  

Just how funny is “Bad Trip”? After two viewings, it’s one of those comedies with a stable laughing average and high replay value, even if it doesn’t always hit you as hard. It knowingly plays a hit-and-miss game, and some scenes don’t entirely work (like a grocery store drug trip that plays out like a soft tribute to “The Eric Andre Show”), while other pranks go for discomfort more than big laughs (like when Chris gets gas springing all over a gas station). But the movie has speediness on its side, with pacing that takes the plotting from one prank to the next, often including crowds of people in the latest big dramatic confrontation that comes from Bud and Chris’ expected emotional arc. (A sudden car crash sequence is particularly well planned out, with cameras and extras ready nearby.) It’s a steady build to its ultimate destination of NYC, and every major set piece is constructed to bubble with discomfort before then skyrocketing over the top. An early scene at Chris’ smoothie shop job only begins with him making the drinks without spoons—it escalates to awkward tension with disgusted, annoyed customers, and then boom, a laugh-out-loud, gory finale that hits with impeccable, unexpected timing.  

If certain parts of “Bad Trip” aren’t as out-and-out cry-laughing as the work put into them desires, the story is still involving as it adds the dimensionality of unscripted human behavior. And it doesn’t continue the hidden camera movie’s waning intention of dunking on dummies, a factor that also makes this story more fluid than the start-and-stop traps, primed for reaction shots, in something like “Jackass”-spinoff like “Bad Grandpa.” That’s the true sweet spot, in how its pranks are engineered to get the unexpected to interact with Bud, Chris, and or Trina, and see if strangers try to help. (“You turned on us!” says Chris, after a golfer starts swinging a club at Chris and Bud while their penises are enjoined by a Chinese fingertrap.) An amazing scene comes at a tense mid-point, when Trina appears at a restaurant, spreading around fliers with Bud and Chris’ dopey faces on them, advertising her desire to kill the two. She leaves. Bud and Chris then show up at the same place minutes later, and everyone’s response, with some people trying to warn them, and others not wanting to get caught in the middle, is incredible. “Bad Trip” knows how to stir things up, and its funniest scenes often involve real people getting in the mix, tested by the brilliant skills of André, Howery, and Haddish. The ways that some people react to their pranks might shock you in some ways, and absolutely will not in others.

‘Bad Trip’ Review: Tiffany Haddish Steals the Show in Eric Andre’s Goofy Hidden Camera Romp

It only takes Eric André a couple of minutes to get naked in “ Bad Trip ,” and another half hour before he’s sodomized by a gorilla, which should give you a sense of how quickly this goofy hidden camera romp careens from zero to crazy and just keeps going. In director Kitao Sakurai’s quasi-scripted comedy, the comedian plays a klutzy reprobate who drives from Miami to New York in search of his high school crush, but the flimsy plot is little more than an excuse for André to screw with people up and down the Eastern Seaboard.

Anyone familiar with André’s aggressive ability to push people into cringe-inducing circumstances will find plenty of that anarchic spirit on display here, usually outpacing the story around it. But it’s also given proper context: André’s devious style and wit is matched by a bumbling turn by Lil Rel Howery as his best pal, and even upstaged by a muscular Tiffany Haddish, as Howery’s sister and an escaped convict, who’s constantly on their tail. Together, the trio shows so much investment in the hidden camera concept that the entertainment factor often comes from simply watching them pull it off time and again.

For the past decade, André’s vulgar prank-art has split the difference between “Jackass” and Sacha Baron Cohen, merging the zany physicality of the former with the sociological insight of the latter — though André’s less invested in bringing out the biases of his victims than simply using their shock as a distended punchline. Unlike the trippy Adult Swim excursions of “The Eric André Show,” however, “Bad Trip” forces André’s rascally in-your-face style into a jovial road trip formula that can’t help feeling less ambitious or satisfying than the stunts along the way.

The script, credited to André and Sakurai along with a few of their “Eric André Show” writers, seems pat enough: André plays Chris, a know-nothing troublemaker who veers from one job after the next, growing weary of the monotony as he tells his longtime pal Bud (Howery) that better times lie ahead. Of course, they don’t, and that’s just enough motivation for the pair to finally break free of their surroundings.

“Bad Trip” rises and falls on the basis of its gags, but they’re usually variations of the same formula. The movie essentially repeats one early stunt twice: Chris first sees old teen obsession Maria (Michaela Conlin) at an auto shop, where a mishap with a vacuum cleaner leaves him nude and cowering in a customer’s vehicle; next, she spots him behind the counter of a juice bar, where he accidentally mutilates his hand. In both cases, the actress enters and exits the scene without acknowledging the insanity on display, while André brilliantly coaxes random onlookers into playing a part in the scene.

All of that builds to a hilarious outdoor musical number in which André recognizes his need to find Maria back in New York, while more baffled people inadvertently become part of his show. Unlike “Borat” or “Bad Grandpa,” André isn’t presenting people with a cartoonish caricature. Instead, it’s the utter blandness of Chris that makes his unusual behavior so shocking — he’s an ordinary guy untethered from the common sense of the world around him, and it’s always hilarious to watch as he goads people into providing the reaction shots he needs to punctuate each joke.

In any case, “Bad Trip” ambles along, with Chris and Bud finally hitting the road in the hot-pink car owned by Bud’s sister Trina (Haddish) while she’s locked up. Equipped with a “Bad Bitch” license plate, the vehicle seems like an extension of Trina’s irascible persona. (“It’s like Pepto Bismol — it fixes anything!” she says. “Even though I like to drink Pepsi Bismol with a little Hennesy.”) When Trina sneaks away from her prison transport (freaking out a random guy on the sidewalk, of course), the movie instantly belongs to Haddish, in her most outright satisfying and ludicrous turn since she stole the show with “Girls Trip.” In this case, “Bad Trip” doesn’t get much better than the image of Trina flipping the bird from stolen police car after ripping off its driver’s seat door.

But it does get more familiar, with Chris and Bud enduring accidental drug trips, bar fights, and various other complications as they work their way toward New York, which arrives with a series of naturally chaotic showdowns. By the time they get to the aforementioned gorilla, some viewers may feel as though they got the basic idea. But there’s a certain wily energy that surrounds even the most ludicrous scenes, the sense that André and his cohorts are so invested in reigniting lowball comedy that they’re willing to put their actual lives on the line to earn the laughs.

The credits of “Bad Trip” do a victory lap on the whole routine, peeking behind the scenes as André and others reveal the candid cameras to their unwitting supporting players. Unlike Baron Cohen’s work, André seems to invite his targets to crack up with him, and they’re more than happy to oblige. “Bad Trip” is an extension of that all-inclusive approach: It’s a blunt instrument of absurdity, but that’s also what makes it so much fun.

“Bad Trip” is now streaming on Netflix .
