Storyline

Convinced that his buddy Nardo (Thomas Middleditch) is making the mistake of a lifetime by marrying Tracy (Shannon Woodward), Jason (T.J. Miller) puts a dramatic end to their wedding. When the furious bride decides to take her Baja honeymoon solo, Nardo follows her-where the lovesick groom is carjacked and left stranded, naked and penniless in a remote part of the Mexican desert. Helpless, Nardo sends out an SOS to Jason and their pal Evan (Adam Pally), an up-and-coming ad exec slated for an important business meeting the next morning. During their ridiculous attempt to rescue Nardo, the trio embarks on a series of increasingly outrageous misadventures involving con artists, drug smugglers and even the Federales.

Goofs

When Nardo is phoning from Mexico for the 2nd time in the phone booth you can read "TELEPHONO" which is wrong as such word does not exist in Spanish. It seems a phonetically written word as "PH" sound correspond to "F" in Spanish, the correct word is "TELÉFONO".

Crazy Credits

After the ending credits there is a scene with The amazing Hugo preparing his victim for the "operation".

User Reviews

Watch this movie stoned.

Man... I don't know if it was the weed, but I laughed the hell out of this film.

I have never laughed so much (I swear). And, even though it is a comedy, the movie follows an actual pattern and is not a bunch of jokes dropped all over the length of it. The jokes are funny, the acting is hilarious, the story is a little predictable, but still interesting. This movie made my day and somehow got me laid.

I'm not gonna go into spoilers (Mostly because you don't need them to know what's gonna happen), but I'll say it's got a hungover-like style and lots ridiculously funny stuff.
