If you don’t already know who Smosh is, they are a comedy duo on YouTube; Ian Hecox and Anthony Padilla. They have over 21 million subscribers on YouTube and they are known for doing hilarious videos. They produce at least one video per day, on one of their many different channels. Personally, Smosh is one of my favourite YouTubers, I have been watching them since 2012 and think that they definitely deserve their fame. This year Smosh decided to make a movie. The movie is sold at Wal-Mart and can additionally be purchased on YouTube for $5.
I decided that I wanted to watch this movie myself to see if it deserves all the hype. The movie is 1 hour and 40 minutes long and was created by Awesomeness TV Movie Productions. The plot is about Anthony and Ian wanting to delete an embarrassing video on YouTube before Anthony’s high school crush will see it, whom he will be seeing at their five-year high school reunion. They go through a portal of all the YouTube videos and they must find their video in order to destroy it.
This movie was fairly enjoyable and the editing was at a professional level. There were many parts of this movie that was very funny however; some of the acting was questionable. Ian and Anthony had respectable acting however there were some parts that seemed forced or unnatural. In the perspective of a Smosh fan this movie was funny and enjoyable. However, I would not recommend this film to anybody who is not already a fan. There are some parts of the movie that are only funny if you already know the actors. The actors were extraordinary YouTubers but exceptional movie actors.
In conclusion I rate The Smosh Movie a 3/5 stars.
