This is one mess of a movie! For those of you who do not know, Smosh is a fairly popular YouTube channel that does comedy sketches. And when they announced a film, I was instantly let down. With many other big YouTubers like Fred, Shane Dawson and Harley making sh*t movies, it was only a matter of time that these two idiots got there nose in there. And from there, I was expecting a really bad movie. This movie is atrocious! From the childish humour, that never gets more than a slight grin, to the laughably bad sets and characters. This movie was just plain awful. The only real redeeming qualities it had was the cameos, which, honestly, while they were fun to see, we're just a way to have Smosh say; "Look at us we can get Lady Gaga in our movie." And by the way, she was just the worst in this mess. The jokes fell flat, the story was dumb and rushed, and above all, it comes across as a big cash grab. Don't see this movie unless you are under 10, then by all means have a blast. But if you don't like dumb humour with no substance, stay well away. 3/10
I am a moderate smosh fan. Watched nearly all of their videos in youtube. The biggest puzzle of this movie is Ian and Anthony acted the way which is alien to me. Looked like they were being forced to act, absolute zero emotion and crappy dialogs. Were they nervous ? They are far more better than this in their youtube videos ! Who wrote the story ? Even their food battle videos makes sense than this predictive, humorless story. Seriously guys, you can do better than this on live camera ! The reason i like smosh videos is that they bring absolute absurd scenarios to life and make fun of almost everything. In this movie, there is none of that. Looks like someone saw 5 minute smosh video for the first time, tick some checkboxes. Wiener joke ? Check. Taking dump on car ? Check. Ian laughing at people ? Check. OK boys, story is written. Now glue your faces and start acting. The regular smosh family could have pulled a better short film. Seriously, Their foreign food test videos are better. I heard there are some true fan materials in the movie, like pokemon throwback or whatever. Who cares ?

One reviewer actually sated this was the best movie they've ever seen. Another gave this movie 9 out of 10 stars, then basically went on to say the movie was pretty crappy. LOL!!! Seriously!! Have you ever SEEN a movie prior to this?? All I needed to see was the trailer and a few interviews on daytime TV to know this is a joke of a movie. I'm sure it ranks right up there with the Fred movie. You Tubers need to stay on You Tube and off the big screen. I'm actually supposed to come up with 10 lines about this movie before IMDb will allow me to post this review. Do you realize HOW DIFFICULT THAT IS to do with this stupid waste of film??

Smosh: The Movie is a great and fun ride for a huge Smosh fan. But, any other movie goer would be disappointed. Don't get me wrong here, Smosh has some few good laughs (In this movie too) and I enjoy some of their content. Though, the movie seemed bad as a whole. The entire thing is littered with plot holes and the story is typical guy gets the girl. Also, the dialogue is a bit choppy seeming to be only a rough draft and not thought over well. Not to mention that the acting is mediocre and some of the performances were just cameos to sell YouTubers.
If you really love Smosh then you will enjoy the movie, but otherwise it's one giant commercial for Smosh/YouTube.

Okay first of all I never heard about Smosh. I say that because apparently after watching the movie and reading some reviews afterwards, I read that those guys actually make you-tube videos. Well I sincerely hope for them that they are better then this crap. Because I can assure you that this movie will go in my top ten most awful movies ever made. This movie must be made by a six year old. It's not possible otherwise. The amount of garbage per minute is incredible. I didn't think it was possible to make such a bad movie. They proved me wrong. If somebody writes something good about this movie then he is or acting in the movie himself, or he is related to one of the actors, or he is just mentally retarded. Don't get fooled by anybody that gives more then one star for this garbage. A zero star would be better but it's not possible to give on IMDb. So I repeat: do not watch this garbage, it's a waste of your precious time on earth. You will regret it for your whole life. Well at least I do.

a lot of things had to come together to make this movie not good. someone had to write this movie, and then after that people read it and said, "yeah thats good, lets film it." and then on set those smosh guys acted the script and no one said, "Hey maybe lets try another take. maybe try to be more natural, take some time and really tap into your character. or maybe we could halt shooting until these guys take some acting classes." no one said that dozens of people on the set and no one said anything, they were just okay with it. they just filmed it and someone edited it and they said, "here internet kids, you like garbage, right? have this."
Its kind of insulting that everyone on this film was OK with how it turned out, and no one with the power said "hey lets try to make this good, lets really give them a good story with good jokes and gags and emotional stakes, and good special effects, and a plot that makes sense and characters that you can really get behind and root for." but no one did. and thats really disappointing. for all of us.
it could have been fixed but not now.

i have been waiting for the movie for along time but when i saw it i felt my eyes bleeding , really smosh you just couldn't do it , i have been a big fan of the YouTube channel since 2011 but i was disappointed by the movie the acting was horrible , the plot was expected no twists just like any below average comedy movie and don't let me get started on the special effects , but the movie had it's moments Ian was the soul of the movie his dumb ideas and comments were awesome , overall : the movie is watchable but don't have high expectations, smosh keep on YouTube you are good there movies are just not your thing
p.s i was waiting to see more youtubers in the movie.

This is by far the best movie ever. The Godfather, Shawshank Redemption and The Dark Knight are just not on the same level as Smosh: The Movie. I rewatched this movie so many times that I lost count.

This movie is absolute garbage. I tried to like. I honestly did. The acting was worse than their YouTube videos. terrible story and not to mention the green screen crap were they run and it's edited into a chase scene? WHY? This is a movie! It looks like they've crapped their pants and decided to run into the bathroom to change! Overall, This movie isn't the worst film ever produced, but I wouldn't even call it "mediocre" or "bad" This movie is one of the worst film i've ever seen.

First I read great reviews about this movie and liked the actors themselves. Then I see this is stupid as f. I watch whole movie and was like. WHAT THE F DID I JUST WATCH! I thought it was such a waste of my life as a rushed ending and horrible story-line came to play. The whole concept of the movie was stupid and all I could say was. I wasted my precious f-ing life. Yes I was very angry. Please DO NOT WATCH. Live your life to the full. This is a stupid movie and I should never hear of them again. Do not watch, Please. Wow IMDb make me write 10 lines. I can't believe you are not allowed to swear in this. Here are my censored opinions. This movie is f********************************************* bad. The swearing may and will go on forever.
Not a lot of good stuff to say about it.... Its an okay movie by itself, but very underwhelming and it did not live up to my expectations! Not the best acting by Ian and Anthony , its only a tiny bit more serious than their youtube videos and such. It mostly seems like a cheap and easy way to get as many youtubers and youtube videos in a movie as possible. Bottom line is that it was so hyped for and the have been advertising it for a long time now, so it is just VERY disappointing to anyone who thought it would be a good and unique movie, because it turns out to be a good concept that they took care of in the worst possible way and made it look and feel like a low-budget cliché filled movie.

Being the glutton for punishment that I am I found yet another abominable flick up for streaming on Netflix. That piece of trash is known as Smosh: The Movie. For those of you unaware of Smosh, good for you. However here's the cliff notes version: In 2005 when YouTube was first established two nerdy kids Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox made crudely shot videos of them lip syncing to theme songs for Pokemon and Mortal Kombat. Ever since they have made a miniature empire by making moronic annoying skits filled with fart jokes so terribly unoriginal and uninspired that they would make Dane Cook shoot himself in the face pandering to the mentally castrated youth of America, the lowest common denominator that are tearing this nation apart bit by bit on a mission to keep them out of college along with the monstrous duo responsible for the death of parody Jason Friedberg, Aaron Seltzer who need to die with them slowly with blood in their mouths. But I will admit that yes, when I was younger I found a few of their skits somewhat amusing and looked up to them for a brief months and sent them a long since abandoned project known as The Mark Alpha Cycle asking for advice. What was I thinking? Don't ask because I couldn't tell you, I was high out of my mind. I never heard back from them and I am perfectly okay with that.
Why did this movie make me want to slit my wrists and kill and kill the next living creature that I saw? What drove me to black out and stab my drinking buddy who was watching this with me in the face beyond all recognition? Was it the fact that the jokes were so dated that it would only be funny if the movie were released back in 2003? Was it the fact that the production value was so cheap and tacky that it would only be forgivable if the effects were featured from a video by a Channel Awesome critic and didn't have the budget of five million dollars? Is it the fact that I can't stomach these two retards for more than five seconds? Is it the ridiculous plot? Is it the fact that it's an 84 minute YouTube Video that only exists to make money? Or is it the fact that ALEX WINTER of all people directed this bogus most non- excellent crime against humanity!! I'm just going to let that sink in, Bill Preston DIRECTED THIS UNWATCHABLE PILE OF CINEMATIC FECES Come on man you were one of the heroes of the 80's you and Ted defined the late 80's for Crying out loud! Show some dignity! I believe that to die an honorable death and redeem myself if I ever become a famous director, screenwriter and when my material wears thin much like Smosh's material did and back in like 2005 and I stop bringing in bank and I get that desperate for money that I direct to video sequel for a couple of moronic internet celebrities, please, give me a bottle of poison and walk away Now I really got to find both Bill and Ted movies on Laserdisc to add to my collection to mourn the death of a fallen idol. I remember hearing about Savage Steve Holland directing a made for TV movie for The Fairly Odd Parents a couple of years back called A Fairly Odd Movie: Grow Up, Timmy Turner! And I can at least forgive that because Cosmo is still a fairly enduring character for me even until this day and well let's be honest here Better Off Dead was really his only good movie. But Alex Winter? What are you doing man?!

This review was written on another site nearly two years ago, when Anthony was still part of Smosh.
**THE REVIEW**
I watched the movie last night. As a long-time Smosher I was disappointed that Boxman didn't show up. Or Sergeant Anous, Billy Jean, Stevie, Charlie, That Damn Neighbor, Teleporting Fat Guy, or Ian's REAL mom!!! I thought that there would be tons of references to their videos and that their YouTube channel and videos would be a big part of the movie but no, not even an appearance of Ian's pink- frosted sprinkle donuts!!
I thought that you would have to know a lot about Smosh to understand the movie, but this didn't have to be a Smosh movie. It could've starred two different people, had a different title and it still would've worked. This movie doesn't even acknowledge that they're famous YouTubers. The only tie-in to Smosh it has are the title, the "SHUT UP" at the beginning, and our two main characters.
If Ian and Anthony ever make another movie, I hope it has more to do with Smosh itself. I'd love to see all of their famous characters in a feature length movie. Anous, Charlie, Billy, Jean, Stevie, etc!! Maybe even PokeMon if they can get the rights.
**END OF REVIEW**
However, since Anthony left Smosh in June, I don't think there will ever be another Smosh movie or Food Battle... unless Anthony comes to his senses and goes back to Smosh. Why he would leave such a successful job and channel that he co-founded and co-owned since the beginning of YouTube back in 2005 is beyond me.

Alright so I gotta start this off by saying well done to smosh for making a pretty great action comedy, and I do understand the majority of reviews for this movie are actually bad but let me explain why a smosh fan should watch this P.S I wouldn't recommend someone who isn't a fan of Smosh to watch this movie as I don't see you getting much enjoyment out of it's 80 minute run time. Smosh The Movie is a simple story of 2 best friend trying to get an extremely embarrassing video off of the Internet or more specifically YouTube by going into the website itself. Sound pretty cool to you, well obviously it does because it sounds like one of Ian and Anthony's idiotic skits where laughter is always a guarantee! I think there humour (Especially Ian's) Is pushed to the max for this film because I found myself in tears while watching this. It may be offensive and completely stupid humour but I can assure any fan of smosh at least a good time!

I was scared going into this, I thought this would be insulting trash. Turns out it's just boring trash. It's not insulting like any other YouTuber movie like F the Prom or Not Cool. Smosh the movie is just lifeless and bland, and I'm fine with that. At least it's not some disgusting comedy film that tries too hard. I would take a boring comedy film over that any day. Overall, Smosh the movie is doable, if you're not interested in watching a good film.

This isn't an entirely honest review, as I didn't finish watching the film, but what I saw was awful, and didn't justify me finishing it.
I don't like Smosh, but they have several things going for them. They have an outrageous and immature sense of humor, and are good at editing those sensibilities together, however, this film completely disregards the little charm Smosh has and instead creates one of the most bland, boring and humorless comedies I've ever seen.
The film consists entirely of A shot B shot, back and forth. There is no variety, no clever editing tricks or gags, just cringy dialogue, awkward acting and too many cameos.
