Bad Trip

In the 2021 comedy Bad Trip, audiences are taken on a riotous journey alongside two best friends, Chris and Bud, who embark on a spontaneous road trip from Florida to New York City. What sets this film apart is its unique blend of scripted narrative and hidden-camera pranks, as the duo finds themselves embroiled in a series of outrageous and often cringe-worthy situations. With the help of their unsuspecting fellow travelers, they pull off wild stunts that range from the absurd to the downright shocking, all while attempting to navigate their personal dilemmas and, more importantly, Chris's quest to win back his high school crush.

The film thrives on the dynamic chemistry between its leads, Eric Andre as the impulsive Chris and Lil Rel Howery as the grounded Bud.
