That's the genius behind this movie.
I watched an interview where Trevor Moore admits that they wrote it while they were drunk.
Knowing the whitest kids u know, it's clearly some sort of "&%*$ You!"
It was supposed to be a bad movie
I don't get it either.
I thought it was funny. Reminded me of Orgazmo or Cannibal Halocaust.
I wasn't expecting some dark comedy with a message about life or anything like that. I guess that must be the problem... people are going into this with wrong expectations because they don't know WKUK's style.
I think if I saw this without having ever seen WKUK, I wouldn't have enjoyed it very much. But anyone who has watched the show must know Trevor's and Zach's humor, and that made the movie fantastic to me.
It was amazing for what it was. These two guys jumped up and decided to make a movie while having no movie experience at all. Awesome.

I hadn't seen WKUK and I thought it was an excellent comedy.
People sometimes take things too seriously.. like movies.
Was it supposed to be incredibly awful as well? The movie is completely unfunny to most people over the age of twelve. It's characters are incredibly annoying and even painful to watch. It is a shame that anyone got paid a dime to make this travesty against the art of cinema.
shareI know, this movie was hilarious. People overlooked this movie. To me, it was like a stupider version of BASEketball.

That's a pretty bad excuse. Who would knowingly make something that bad? That's like someone marrying someone because they hate each other and they want a bad relationship.
Yeah it's supposed to be a stupid comedy but it was more than stupid and not the least bit funny. Look at Dumb and Dumber, really stupid movie but at least it's funny and had somewhat decent acting, direction, etc.

Trevor Moore and Zach Cregger definitely would.
Most of their skits are based on displaying the abundant ignorance of western culture, and this is exactly what they are doing here.
They're producers came to them with the script and told them to do the movie. With it they were given creative liberties. They decide to fill it with the most cliched sexual story ideas and absurd twists of fate.
They are purposefully making a mockery of the movie industry and everything the average guy wants to see in this type of movie.
Case in point: They are stranded in the desert and all of a sudden two lesbians drive up to Zach and Trevor. The lesbians proceed to tell them that they are basically too horny to drive and need the guys to do the driving.
Nearly every Whitest Kids sketch is some sort of self-deprecating social commentary, and this movie is no different at all. It's just been hidden rather cleverly.
Granted: I didn't understand this until the 3rd time I watched this movie.
I had a really bad hangover this Sunday, and this movie happened to come on and I was too lazy to change the channel.
I was not expecting ANYTHING from the movie, and I laughed a lot. I think it's pretty good for wha it is.
"I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it."
Exactly. Being a huge fan of WKUK I watched this movie five times I think, three by myself, one with a friend and one with my mum. The first couple of times I thought that that was it, that it was just a silly sex comedy which was just what it appeared to be. When interviewed, Trevor and Zach say that they wrote the most mainstream script possible to reach the expectations of the movie studio, but something told me that they wouldn't sell out like that without leaving any 'hidden' message.
The characters are totally stereotypical: the virgin prude dude (Eugene), the horny sex-crazed dude (Tucker), the perfect, unconditional girlfriend (Cindi), the 'villain' with good feelings (Candace), the misogynistic rapper (Horsedick.MPEG), the immigrant with a crappy job (Nurse Juanita), the horny lesbians (Katja and Vonka). The setting is stereotypical too, as the ultimate place for a sex-related anything would be the Playboy Mansion itself! The plot where everything fits and ends perfectly in such a corny way is stereotypical as well, especially coming from them, whose famously 'dark' comedy sketches usually involve broken families and death. Coming from them, this screamed parody.
It's rather hard being able to distinguish a sex comedy from a parody of everything a sex comedy is supposed to be, and Trevor and Zach made that line as fine as possible. It takes several viewings to get that. The average movie goer probably wouldn't recognise it even then, because the parody in Miss March is so subtle. Movies like The Naked Mile are so bad that they could be parodies of sex comedies too, but it's somehow noticeable when the movie is actually nothing more than a bad sex comedy marketed for teenagers. One can tell by how boring it is, and this movie never has a dull moment or a filler scene. It's one ridiculous thing after another.
People criticise the bad acting in this film. It's not bad acting, it's great acting. Their mouths opened all the time is a reference to typical sex comedy acting. Watching WKUK is a proof of their versatility. They can pull off women, sick people, diamond thieves, kids, drunk dads, how wouldn't they be able to pull off two simple, unidimensional characters like Eugene and Tucker? They would have pulled them off if they had wanted to.
They gave hints on this in interviews:
1) Trevor talked about typical sex comedies having been done in the past, about his lack of interest in this genre, and about his and Zach's concern to write something their fans would appreciate. WKUK fans wouldn't appreciate a movie like this taking itself seriously, but WKUK fans would appreciate a mockery (eg. Mall Bitches), and that is what this movie is all about.
2) Zach literally said "I like to think of it as a weird WKUK thing disguised as a road trip movie".
3) I think the following quote is the most solid hint. It shows their dark humour and understanding of the complexity of people and life, something they didn't include in the movie.
“In my head Eugene and his girlfriend get together for a little bit and then they break up because their relationship becomes different", said Cregger. “Tucker doesn’t get a job as a Playboy photographer.”My final conclusion is that they basically laughed their @$$€$ off at 20th Century Fox, bad mainstream cinema, and dumb audiences by doing this movie, and managed to get profit from the studio itself for doing that. They counted on the fact that their fans would understand. How genius can you be? This is not the best nor funniest movie of all time, but is certainly on both lists. I can't wait for the WKUK movie, it will be even better! and ironically, easier to get.
“I figure that Tucker doesn’t realize his life doesn’t end up great,” concludes Moore. “He’s just in the moment. And I figure Eugene goes into another coma for thirty years (laughs). His girlfriend has kids with another guy and he has to murder her family (laughs).”
IT DOESNT MATTER WHAT YOU THINK...
all good points,but i will say"jay and silent bob strike back" is still the best satire of everything internet ,social media,hollywood,movie business" and its dumb as *beep* lol but really funny too.
