There have never been female Jackasses or Jackasses of color, an oversight that Bad Trip, the latest hidden camera road movie from producer Jeff Tremaine (Bad Grandpa), is about to set right. We follow director Kitao Sakurai’s squad of plucky pranksters — co-writer Eric André, straightman Lil Rel Howery, the prison-tatted Tiffany Haddish, and an eager-to-pitch-in Michaela Conlin — as they wend their way from West Grove, Florida to the Hamptons. The plot, what little there is of one, entails André convincing Howery to steal jailed sister Haddish’s prized pink ride and drive him to New York, where he’ll hook up with high school sweetheart Conlin. Not all of it connects. An acid trip reenactment in a supermarket presents a hurdle, as does a gag involving the least convincing gorilla suit since At the Circus. And the White Chicks tribute that brings down the curtain falls far afield of that old showbiz rubric about saving the best for last. That said, I had to pause several times throughout the movie to wipe the tears from my glasses. (2020) — Scott Marks
