| User ReviewFlash MRidiculous and profane but... Hilarious. Probably the funniest indie comedy I've seen in a long time. Well written and well shot too. Crazy amount of cameos from the wrestling and music world too. |
| User ReviewGraeme KAs a fan of coming-of-age, underdog comedies the 5-6 year period following the American Pie release in the late 90s was a great time for me. This movie tips the hat to that era perfectly, but the beautiful cinematography (yeah, REALLY!) brings it into the modern day, along with the bet revolving around a relic from that era itself - the movie rental store. The cameos are great as you'd expect from lifelong entertainers, however the main cast are all so good that putting an icon like Jake The Snake amongst them doesn't seem out of place. Everyone has great chemistry throughout, and perhaps the biggest surprise of all is that it's not all boobs and dick jokes like 90% of those that followed American Pie. It has real heart to it and the lead actors are so likeable that you find yourself rooting for their characters by the time the credits roll, despite participating in an ethically questionable bet. |
| User ReviewMatt DHilarious all the way around! Awesome to see my hometown ass the setting! Literally a laugh out loud type of movie! Hopefully they make a sequel! Definitely recommend comedy lovers to watch this movie, you won't regret it! |
| User ReviewKiaha RI would put this movie up there with Kung Pow in terms in hilarity! Had to pause a few times because I was laughing so hard (especially at Number 10....you'll know when you see it) |
| User ReviewMike ELaughed from the beginning to the end. Give yourself a good time and watch this movie |
| User ReviewBrian PI had a great time with this movie. If you are looking for Citizen Kane or the next redefinition of comedy, move on. But if you just need two hours of raunchy jokes, hot chicks, and clever dialog all set in an American Pie/Van Wilder-esque universe, try it out. I loved seeing some great wrestling heros and fookin Chuck D. It's cool to see Hollywood outsiders come out of nowhere and deliver a charming gross-out raunch-com with almost no budget. Looking forward to the next project from Jay/Goldberg. |
| User ReviewRain PThis movie is so offensive but so much fun, because the filmmakers and the cast are having a blast and wholeheartedly embracing the genre. Totally worth watching, and you'll be laughing in spirt of your better judgement. |
| User ReviewJenny DThe first thing The Bet made me think of was American Pie, it's also similar to Van Wilder and Harold and Kumar. I've noticed a Good To Go Tour poster on the wall and an Army Of Freshmen poster. I'm pretty good at noticing things like that, I don't know if there are more references or not but those are the ones I noticed. This if my first time seeing Chris Jay act, he was good.

| User ReviewAndré SThought the movie would be a little cheesy but it was freakin hilarious! Extremely well-thought out script and screenplay, well-picked cast and lovely execution. I highly recommend it! |
| User ReviewJosh B"American Pie" meets "Van Wilder" with "Porky's" in its soul. Very fun! |
