Getting home after seeing The Harder They Come (1972-also reviewed),I put YouTube on to play in the background whilst I caught up on things. Taking a casual glance at the screen,I saw part of a review by YourMovieSucks for what looked like a funny Comedy. Discovering that the title was on Netflix,I decided to end the night, by going on a trip.
View on the film:
Going on her second trip after Girls Trip (2017-also reviewed) Tiffany Haddish gives a very funny performance as Trina, who Haddish has strike fear in the hearts of Bud, Chris, and any member of the public that gets in her way, thanks to a rapid-fire dialogue delivery, that Haddish uses to hit one-liners, and also to capture Trina's urgency in finding Chris and Bud.
Going off-road in Trina's car, Eric Andre and Lil Rel Howery give hilarious turns as Chris and Bud, thanks to Andre and Howery both displaying an enthusiasm for getting stuck in the middle of (intentionally) awkward comedic set-pieces, and also a rough-edge sincerity, in the Road Movie bonding between the buddies.
Keeping the public out of the loop over what's happening, co-writer (with Eric Andre, Dan Curry, Andrew Barchilon, Derrick Beckles, Jenna Park and Kathryn Borel) / director Kitao Sakurai & cinematographer Andrew Laboy skillfully link fantastic hidden camera gags, with an excellent level of ambition, which spins gloriously crude gags, into Musical numbers and explosive car chase set-pieces.
Revealed later by Andre that he worked on the script at Robert McKee's story seminars, which results in the mad-cap unscripted jokes being cleverly given in the scripting, a sense of building up the friendship between Chris and Bud, as they go on a bad trip.
