Low-brow comedy from the USA.

Two rock-bottom drivers transport a wealthy teen to rehab, but their simple job spirals into a chaotic journey of drugs, danger, and crime as their passenger derails their plans.

I didn’t watch this one because life is short, too short to dance with ugly women or watch Dave Franco comedies.

The ratings are incredibly consistent:

Metacritic: 62
Tomato Meter: 59%
Popcorn Meter: 61%
IMDb: 6.1

Critics’ consensus:

Crude, rude, and trying just a little too hard to be edgy, Idiots leaves a sour aftertaste but will satisfy those yearning for a pugnacious comedy full of inspired yucks.

Johnny Moronic’s comments:

New Zealand series about two friends who decide to complete their teenage pact of getting married after some disastrous romantic adventures, only to fall in love. Strangely the show is narrated by The Office’s Rainn Wilson. No idea why…

Based on the New York Times best-selling novel by Ali Hazelwood, The Love Hypothesis follows Olive (Lili Reinhart), a brilliant Ph.D. candidate focused on her future in academia. But when she realizes her best friend Ahn has fallen for her crush Jeremy, Olive impulsively kisses intimidating professor Adam Carlsen to prove she’s moved on. What begins as a desperate act of friendship spirals into a fake relationship with rules, boundaries, and a mutually beneficial agreement. When their arrangement begins to blur the lines between performance and reality, Olive is forced to test her most daunting hypothesis yet: that love might actually be worth the risk.

The love scene is filmed and edited to expose as little as possible, but there are occasional teases.

I enlarged one of the images to see whether her nipple was pierced. I still can’t tell because the detail is not sharp enough.

Khaki Fever is, in fact, a 2025 comedy film about a commercial game preserve in South Africa. It is, in form, a perfect raunchy American B comedy from 1985. It compares perfectly to such films as Hot Resort, Hot Chili, Private Resort, etc.

A group of ranger guides at the preserve have a contest to see who can have sex with the most guests before the end of the season. All the usual characters are there: the hunky guy who proposes the contest, the guy who just wants to find true love, the wise older guy who needs Viagra to compete, the virgin, the fat guy who stays competitive by sleeping with all the women nobody else would look at, the bisexual woman, the stern manager who permits no shenanigans, etc. Needless to say, all of the subplots come to happy, sentimental endings.

What can you say? I watched the whole film, even though 90% of it is in Afrikaans, because I miss raunchy 1980s comedies. Everything about it is completely predictable, but it delivers on its promise of nudity and cheap laughs.
