Smosh: The Movie Reviews

Initial Thought: These two are major dorks. Their humor is a bit childish, but it works well for them. Some of my favorites of theirs are the "If blank was real" series, "Every blank ever" series, and Food Battles. This is proof that if you become Youtube famous you are going to have a movie or at least show up in one. It kind of reminds me of like when Tim and Eric got a movie. Hopefully it isn't as dumb as that looked.

Characters/Acting: Of course we have Ian and Anthony since it is their movie. There are even a plethora of other Youtubers who show up here either on archive footage or as other actors. Michael Ian Black isn't the only actual Hollywood star here either. There are a few cameos here and there. Although most of them are just the Youtube stars there is one or two who aren't. I think Dominic Sandoval was probably the funniest here besides Ian and Anthony.

Story: An embarrassing video of Anthony surfaces online right before his fifth high school reunion. The Smosh dudes then race to pull down the clip before it blows Anthony's chances of reconnecting with his teen crush Anna. It starts off and kind of feels like Fred meets Dumb and Dumber without the ridiculous voice of course. This really didn't have all that much going on for it. Sure it had some funny scenes throughout. There were moments though that kind of fell through. The hilarious ending made up for the whole thing.

Directing/Writing: So Alex Winter is still around. I was wondering where he had gone to. It would be awesome if he could go ahead and get with Keanu Reeves and make another Bill & Ted already. It seems this is the only movie I have seen directed by him. I am unfamiliar with Eric Falconer. As for Steve Marmel he has written some of my favorite cartoons of Cartoon Network and Nickolodeon. I do like the whole concept around being able to jump into videos and be able to interact with them.

Final Thought: Well congratulations to them for getting a feature length film into theaters. It could have been much better though. I mean I liked it a little, but I felt it lacked a certain something. For the major fans I'm sure you will still enjoy this to a certain extent. It's pretty much just like all the stuff they do on Youtube just extended. I think it's a decent one time watch.
