Limo Ride (2016)
In the greatest bar story ever told, ten friends recount the true tale of surviving their wildest night. After hiring a sketchy limousine service, a rag-tag bunch of hard partiers embark on their New Year's tradition – running naked into the Gulf of Mexico – only to find themselves 24 hours later kidnapped, stripped, stranded, and left for dead. Combining narration of the actual participants with feature-length re-creation, filmmakers Gideon C. Kennedy and Marcus Rosentrater take you on a hilarious ride about getting lost, getting found and getting hammered.

Simply Perfect
Best movie ever!
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.
This film took a minute for me to get into its rhythm. Once I did, I really connected to the characters and the re-enactment was quite engaging. The characters are what made this film a joy. I appreciated the close friendship that these guys had. My wife and I watched it in a theater in Atlanta...all by ourselves! We laughed out loud. Kinda wish there was more of an audience as this would've added to the experience. And now I own the Blu-Ray and can watch it anytime I want. Can't think of a similar experience that I've had (well, I can, but could it be made into a more engaging film?) but loved every moment.Great story, great characters, (un)believable. Great ride!
The "greatest bar story ever told' really sums it up. But beyond that though, it's truly a unique and entertaining film! The creative cinematography and the storytelling aspect takes you along on this crazy, drug-fueled ride. It's sort of like an episode of Drunk History with a bag of cocaine thrown in the mix and some southern grit. But actually told by those that were there and participated in the mayhem, which adds to the hilarity and authenticity. You feel like you're at a bar listening to these guys relive a night they will never forget, despite the level of intoxication. I cannot think of a movie quit like it. Which I consider a great thing! You will be entertained, guaranteed.
This film was my personal highlight of the Indie Grits Film Festival when it was first screened. I remember laughing until I cried watching this story unfold and wishing that I could have a copy to share with my husband. It's a super fun story to watch and the film's pace keeps you glued to the screen for the next "I can't believe they did that" moment! Hearing the story from the actual Limo Riders is icing on the crazy cake. I'm thrilled that I now get to share it with my friends and family. It's nice to experience a movie that keeps you laughing, makes you wish you had been there and reminds you of the wild things that you've done yourself. Limo Ride is a guaranteed fun time!
Limo Ride, the movie, chronicles a true life story. You know the type of tale, one of those that stays with you and if you had not lived it, you would not have believed it. Limo Ride is a frightful youthful night of debauchery. It starts off on a New Year's night as a group of ten friends head down to the beach from Mobile, Alabama to enjoy in the ritual polar bear club dip in the ocean. To add to the adventure they decide to go in style and rent a limo. Limo Ride moves like a reality behind the scenes reality TV show with the narration by the voices of those who were there that faithful day. The story moves quickly and keeps you on edge as you don't know where this journey is going to end. Imagine a redneck "hangover" adventure and this movie takes you on a wild ride in this hilarious legendary tale in Limo Ride. I saw this movie as part of the Atlanta Film Festival.
