I saw "Impractical Jokers:The Movie", starring Brian 'Q' Quinn-Victor Crowley, Dogma; Joe 'Joe' Gatto-12 Monkeys_tv, The Tenderloins_tv; James 'Murr' Murray-The Last Sharknado:It's About Time_tv, 12 Monkeys_tv and Sal 'Sal' Vulcano-12 Monkeys_tv, Damned!.
This movie is based on the comedy reality series of the same name that started in 2011. I must confess, I have never seen the show-I'm not a big reality tv show fan-but I have heard about it and this movie is for the fans. People were laughing a lot in the theater, much more than I was. Anyway, as for the plot of the movie, Brian, Joe, James & Sal are 4 friends that love to play hidden camera practical jokes on each other-and unsuspecting people-and see how far than can take it. They are on a road trip to see a Paula Abdul concert in Florida so they pull their pranks at rest stops along the way. One of the running jokes involves the boys wondering what James does in his hotel room away from them. Every time one of the other 3 guys knocks on his door and James opens it, they are in for a surprise-They have no idea what they will be seeing-and each time, it's different. Some of the pranks throughout the film are funny, some, not so much, but I'm sure the fans will like it more than I did. There are several cameos, including Paula Abdul, Jaden Smith & Joey Fatone-they must have had a big budget to get all 3 of them.
It's rated "PG-13" for suggestive content, language, drug content and nudity and has a running time of 1 hour & 32 minutes.
It's not one that I would buy on DVD but even if you are not a fan, it would be a good rental.
