Smosh: The Movie (2015) Reviews

• I Regret Watching This

  rmsccbm2015-09-02

  This is one mess of a movie! For those of you who do not know, Smosh is a fairly popular YouTube channel that does comedy sketches. And when they announced a film, I was instantly let down. With many other big YouTubers like Fred, Shane Dawson and Harley making sh*t movies, it was only a matter of time that these two idiots got there nose in there. And from there, I was expecting a really bad movie. This movie is atrocious! From the childish humour, that never gets more than a slight grin, to the laughably bad sets and characters. This movie was just plain awful. The only real redeeming qualities it had was the cameos, which, honestly, while they were fun to see, we're just a way to have Smosh say; "Look at us we can get Lady Gaga in our movie." And by the way, she was just the worst in this mess. The jokes fell flat, the story was dumb and rushed, and above all, it comes across as a big cash grab. Don't see this movie unless you are under 10, then by all means have a blast. But if you don't like dumb humour with no substance, stay well away. 3/10

  I am a moderate smosh fan. Watched nearly all of their videos in youtube. The biggest puzzle of this movie is Ian and Anthony acted the way which is alien to me. Looked like they were being forced to act, absolute zero emotion and crappy dialogs. Were they nervous ? They are far more better than this in their youtube videos ! Who wrote the story ? Even their food battle videos makes sense than this predictive, humorless story. Seriously guys, you can do better than this on live camera ! The reason i like smosh videos is that they bring absolute absurd scenarios to life and make fun of almost everything. In this movie, there is none of that. Looks like someone saw 5 minute smosh video for the first time, tick some checkboxes. Wiener joke ? Check. Taking dump on car ? Check. Ian laughing at people ? Check. OK boys, story is written. Now glue your faces and start acting. The regular smosh family could have pulled a better short film. Seriously, Their foreign food test videos are better. I heard there are some true fan materials in the movie, like pokemon throwback or whatever. Who cares ?

  One reviewer actually sated this was the best movie they've ever seen. Another gave this movie 9 out of 10 stars, then basically went on to say the movie was pretty crappy. LOL!!! Seriously!! Have you ever SEEN a movie prior to this?? All I needed to see was the trailer and a few interviews on daytime TV to know this is a joke of a movie. I'm sure it ranks right up there with the Fred movie. You Tubers need to stay on You Tube and off the big screen. I'm actually supposed to come up with 10 lines about this movie before IMDb will allow me to post this review. Do you realize HOW DIFFICULT THAT IS to do with this stupid waste of film??

• Really, really bad commercial.

  Smosh: The Movie is not the movie, it's more like a one and a half hour long YouTube video with more youtubers. That's all. 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. I really like Smosh like YouTube channel, but not like a movie. Before I watched this movie, I read some reviews. Reviews were saying that the movie is not like they were expecting (in a positive way). I was like:"Well, let's watch it then." But reviews were wrong. The movie is really bad. The movie felt so cheap, like I could make one like this (no, seriously, I can). The acting is bad. Their acting is something like we can see on their YouTube channel. It's a bit better, but still cheap. Dialogues are mostly really clichés. Actually, there is one actor that did pretty good. Peter Breitmayer (Mr. Ellis). He is so cool. There are some moments in this movie where you're like:"That's dumb, nobody will do that." For example, when the mailman came with a mail and Ian threw water balloons at him, or when a little kid started shitting on Anthony's car. Nope. Also, the movie is really predictable. The movie is not funny as well. It's supposed to be funny, but it's not. I don't know about others, but this movie was not funny. I don't like that thing that Ian and Anthony's YouTube video (newer), in which they were all fighting, gave them wealth. The special effects were bad, especially the scene when Ian and Anthony were jumping through the portal to YouTube. Also, I remember that there was one awful explosion. In the end, this movie is only for their true fans. I don't think that this movie doesn't deserve a big rating.

• Started watching Smosh in 2007 and now this is just sad.

  -THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!!!!! BEWARE- Honestly this felt like some direct to TV movie, and a bad movie. I was a big smosh fan in 2007 but stopped watching after 2013 due to there forced acting, using same video ideas, and them just milking out other series (Pokemon, if _____ were real, etc). I watched the movie hoping It would be decent at best but what I got was a cringe fest of bad acting, a lame plot, and barely any laughter. The plot is that Anthony doesn't want his high school crush to see an embarrassing video on youtube so him and ian go inside youtube and change the video. Already Anthony is the cliché guy who has no confidence in himself and Ian is just the dumb character who's suppose to be funny. The problem is that the plot isn't all that great considering in the youtube videos Ian and Anthony travel through time, fight Italian mafias, life hack, do crazy food battles, escape from jail, etc. In the movie they constantly re-use the same youtube clips that they travel to and it gets old like seeing Jenna marbles for the third time. All the youtube cameos you see in the trailer are 95% of the cameos in the movie, there's shane dawson and the Smosh Games guys including Mari, and dtrix. To my surprise, no Nigahiga or Kevjumba. The acting in this is very poor, in the old smosh days they had better acting then they do now. Ian being a douche thing in the movie gets old and isn't funny. One thing that I think many smosh fans will agree with is that NOT having Ian's actual mom in the movie is really stupid. Instead it's some women we've never seen before and for the first time we see Ian's dad...okay? If you couldn't get Ian's real mom, don't put it in the script. The special effects are decent but there's one part where Steve Youtube catches them in a forest and it's obvious that he's green-screened into the scene while Ian & Anthony aren't. For a Smosh movie, there's almost nothing Smosh about it! I was hoping to see Smosh characters such as Boxman, Teleporting fat guy, Damn Neighbor, Billy Jean, Charlie, & Food Battle Reporter. Not saying they had to be main characters but not even a cameo or an Easter egg? What a joke! The only thing they reference is there Pokemon video but since they had to change the name for obvious copyright, it's not all that special and feels very forced. You can tell there was no passion in the making of this movie, they didn't even write the script themselves! Overall, this movie will probably appeal to those under the age of 13. This wasn't the way to go with the movie at all, oh and one more thing, the title screen in the movie is so bland, it's just white text font with a backdrop shadow, the logo they used for the trailer and poster was even better. You would think they would do some cool graphic explosion like they do in the Food Battle videos with some epic orchestral score but nope, simple white text with some song playing that sounds like a theme song for a teen sitcom you would find on Nickelodean.
