I saw "Buddy Games", starring Josh Duhamel-When in Rome, Win a Date With Tad Hamilton!; Dan Bakkedahl-The Goldbergs_tv, Veep_tv; Nick Swardson-The Ridiculous 6, Jack and Jill and Dax Shephard-Bless This Mess_tv, When in Rome.
This movie reminded me of the Jack_Ass movies-You know, with the crude, juvenile humor and stunts being pulled, trying to out do each other-and there is nothing wrong with that, if you like those kinds of high jinks. Josh wrote, produced, directed and stars in the movie. Josh plays the leader of a group of 6 guys that have a competition of mental and physical challenges every year called the Buddy Games. But after one of the guys-Dan-gets hurt, everyone decides that it's time to quit playing. Five years later, Josh decides to get the gang back together and after several people don't want to participate, Josh offers a $150,000.00 jackpot to the winner. Nick and Dax are a couple of the other guys in the Buddy Games that could use the cash and there are several cameos-I remember seeing Jensen Ackles and Olivia Munn. Some of the games are funny but most are pretty juvenile. An example of one of the competitions: All 6 guys take a laxative in a night club. Then they have to get a girl to buy them a drink, dance with them and then get a kiss on the lips, all before the laxative kicks in.
It's rated "R" for language, drug use, violence and sexual content-including nudity-and has a running time of 1 hour & 30 minutes.
It's not one that I would buy on DVD but it would fine as a rental.
