Aiming for a slice of the Borat audience, this Candid Camera/Jackass imitation lacks the childish charm that made those reality-cam products enjoyable, as the shoehorned- in framing road trip is handled inexpertly and does not match with the genuine bystanders' reactions. Some sequences genuinely land, such as the blender scene and the visit to the country-and-western bar, but as always with such 'loosely scripted' ventures this is definitely not always the case. Reveals and outtakes play under the end credits, and their good-naturedness redeems some of the goodwill lost throughout the movie itself.
