If Eric Andreâs self-titled show on Adult Swim has provided any insight into the comedian, itâs that he is more than comfortable making people uncomfortable.
His pranks â which involve a lot of public nudity, fake arson and uncomfortable celebrity interviews â all come together like some funny fever dream.
Andreâs Netflix movie debut âBad Tripâ isnât much different, even if his intentional derangement is not nearly as prominent.
A raunchy road-trip adventure infused with graphic gags and dick-fusing finger traps, Andreâs debut on the big screen is surprisingly heartfelt, despite its sometimes in-poor-taste pranks.
The story starts like an improvised romantic comedy, though the âromanceâ feels mostly one-sided. Chris, played by Andre, runs into his childhood crush Maria (Michaela Conlin), who politely invites him to an art show in New York City. All starry-eyed and ready to leave his dead-end job in Florida for the Big Apple, Chris asks his friend Bud (Lil Rel Howery) to drive him to New York âwhich involves borrowing a bright pink car from Budâs incarcerated sister, Trina (Tiffany Haddish). Naturally, chaos ensues.
