“We’re
in the middle of a roundabout you dick head!”
Road trip movies usually bother. I tend to find them
boring and all the same be them comedies or dramas. So why, you may be asking
yourself, am I reviewing what appears to be a road movie? I have watched Joe and Caspar Hit the Road because they
are on YouTube and I occasionally watch Joe’s videos and I have seen Caspar in
a few collaborations he has done with other YouTubers. I was curious to see
what Hit the Road was about so I have
watched it.
The movie starts off with Joe Sugg and Caspar Lee hanging
out in their apartment in London. They decide to take a road trip through some
of Europe but with a challenge attached to it: they cannot have their phones on
them and they have to work their way through their trip.
The first country Joe and Caspar visit is Italy. They try
their hand at being gondoliers and fail miserably. Then they get a job in a
pizza place and Caspar loses his cool because he loves pizza. Caspar gets to
make pizzas while Joe has to wash dishes. After the pizza place they get jobs
as singing waiters and then move on to working in a superstore for the soccer
team- I mean football team- AC Milan.
Their second stop is Madrid where they poorly draw caricatures
of tourists and pose as those real life statue things.
Their last stop brings Joe and Caspar to Cannes where
they get a job working on a private yacht and they make a lot of money to where
they can take the crew out for a celebration.
Joe and Caspar Hit
the Road was cute. I did not have any expectations going into this and I am very happy I did not. You can definitely tell it was scripted and planned
which for me kind of took some of the fun out the whole thing, it all seemed so
hokey. If Joe and Caspar had been a real travel documentary of them having real
adventures through Italy, Spain, and France I would have liked this a little
more. Joe and Caspar Hit the Road has
its moments where it is fun and it has its moments where it is sluggish and
silly but if you are a fan of YouTube or just love Joe and Caspar than it is
worth watching. I must admit I do not plan on watching this again.
