Laid in America (2016)

Thanks for the memories!

Bad Acting and worse Bad Screenplay

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

No joke, this is so bad, i could film a fecal matter on my phone and it would make a better movie than this. Both Caspar Lee and KSI are not even decent actors whatsoever, the script is as cliché as it can get, even the soundtrack is a huge disappointment. This movie is like a sad, disabled brother of the American Pie, where jokes are twice as bad and the plot development is nowhere near the 1999 movie.Sadly more and more comedies are being made without any creativity being put in it, and get a ton of promotion, while decent movies are disregarded although they have so much more to offer.If there is any reason that you want to waste 2 hours of your life, than watch this movie. Really hope there wont be part 2

This movie has everything. British people. Scathing social commentary. A hilarious pun for a title. It wasn't until the fifth viewing that my boys and I realized that 'Laid in America' is a play on MADE in America. Once Peter, our youngest, pointed this out, we blew our milkshakes out of our noses. Whatever wordsmith was responsible for such exquisite wit deserves nine Oscars immediately. I'd even say give him ten titles, but I wouldn't want the creators of this gem to get big headed about it. Even the slogan. "You'll Always Remember Your First Time". That alone tells an infinite amount of stories. That's how layered this film is. First time? First time for what? Sex? That's what the title of the film implies, but how can we really tell? *Spoiler Alert* It was about sex! Brilliant. Brilliant all over the place.

The acting wasn't any thing special neither was it professional by all means but I guess you cant really expect that from youtubers. It was good enough though to make it easily watchable. The story was just plain stupid just like the acting of most characters, but in a good way (I'm mainly referring to KSI's acting). God i was laughing so much throughout the movie. Those silly jokes and the exaggeration made my day. Obviously people who don't know them as youtubers will see this movie with different eyes but I'm not going to go any further into that.To conclude: If you don't seek a brilliant movie with great plot and acting but just want a good laughter, then this movie is definitely worth watching it!

I adore Casper, and enjoy watching the videos posted by him and Olajide on Youtube... but whoever thought it was a good idea to put these two on the big screen were utterly *cookoo*.Post the budget of this film and the gross profit so far so we can laugh at how silly this idea was.Neither brought anything to the big screen, just silly youtube humor which is funny for 1-2 minutes. And thus is what youtube is about..An hour and a half of this stuff? And yup, you made a mess. There's no question seeing Casper smile brings the wrinkles of an 80 year old out, but that still doesn't defend this "feature" of a movie even being made public in the first place.At best, did this even come to any theatre outside of mainstream US? I doubt it...Good try, but please keep youtube comedy stars separate to that of the big screen... It'll keep your finances and stock safe, as well as our eyes.
