Laid in America (2016)

Powerful

Instant Favorite.

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Laid In America is about two British guys who are about to leave the school they go to in America but there's one problem, they haven't had sex yet, OH GOD. This movie stars Casper Lee and KSI. If you've never heard of either of them then let me explain, neither of them are actually actors, there both Youtube stares, are you seeing a problem yet. The acting in this film is some of the worst i've ever seen in my life. I did sorta buy the two characters as friends but y probably just cause they are in real life, when the enviable conflict come in and they start fighting its so unbelievable. Also this movie is marketed as a comedy, and in comedy's your meant to laugh, i didn't laugh through this whole film. possibly the worst thing about this film was that after it had ended the two characters hadn't changed at all. They didn't have any ark, they were both really annoying at the beginning and they were really annoying at the end, if not more. There are no redeeming qualities about Laid In America, its a complete waist of time. The people who made it obviously don't that in order to make a good film you have to do more than just point a camera at people and have them talk and say unfunny jokes. I've tried to find people who like this movie and the ones i have said "its so funny" i said "why" and they said "well not really but i really like Casper Lee" Im not kidding i actually had that conversation with someone. I would recommend Laid in America to no one. It's not even so bad that is good, its just bad really really bad.0/10

Laid in America follows two foreign students Jack and Duncan living in the U.S.A, both desperate to loose their virginity. However they hit a few bumps a long the road that might jeopardize their last minute plans to get some action. I watched this film out of pure curiosity, having enjoyed KSI's work in the past I was hoping that same hysterical humour would translate to the big screen. I wasn't disappointed, this really was a laugh a minute type film. There are themes of crass toilet humour throughout, but as silly as the humour is, I couldn't help but wet myself laughing.The main positive from the film is the performances of the two youtube stars, Casper Lee and KSI giving confident comedy performances. Although the story line wasn't the strongest, I'd give Laid In America a 7/10 for the laughs it provides.

I was coming into this movie with very low expectations considering it was a Youtube movie, but I was actually quite impressed and had few good old laughs. The movie had some very funny scenes and the whole idea of the movie was pretty good. The 2 main actors KSI and Caspar didn't pull any Oscar worthy performances, but the way they portrayed their role was pretty good. There were a few unnecessary scenes, but the movie didn't get sidetracked too much. The whole movie was kind of predictable and it was if you knew what was going to happen next. Overall I would recommend you watching this movie if you are looking for a few good laughs and a light movie.

Laid in America does have quite some charm especially for die hard KSI and Caspar Lee fans. Some scenes require a bit of experience regarding both channels, but other than that, the movie is hilariously funny. If you know who both JJ and Caspar are in real life, you'll like this movie! Caspar and KSI actually have a lot of further acting potential. KSI is seen with his usual weird, crude and sometimes pervasive humor, which makes scenes in this movie seem like a collection of video snippets created by his YouTube channel (based on one topic). Caspar supplies all of his scenes with his mostly shy, innocent and overall funny South African personality. The movie may seem "insiderish" for inexperienced KSI and Caspar viewers, but other than that, enjoy!
