The Impractical Jokers mean so much to me because watching their compilation videos on youtube has helped me get through some pretty tough times and would always make me burst out laughing and make my day better for sure.

The only reason I watched it this late is that I was eager for the release, but ultimately it slipped out of my mind, and I finally came across it today.

Overall, the movie has a Between two Ferns and Bad Trip vibe, but the plot was really a miss. The jokes landed in solid, and I got some good long laughs in, and that was really the only time I laughed. When the plot kicked in, I didn't really find it funny. The movie could have probably done away with the plot and could have just been all jokes, but I appreciate that they took some effort to try to make a movie an actual movie.

I probably would not have minded an hour and a half of jokes that could have just been a tv special; that would've been more of a hit.

Even though I love the gang, I cannot in good faith say it's the best. It is an okay movie with a weak plot but pretty good jokes.

I would definitely recommend it to the fans of Impractical Jokers. If you're not a fan or have never heard of them, I suggest you either skip this one or skip the whole plot and watch the jokes. I'm sure the movie's jokes are on youtube, so you should check that out for sure!

I went into “Impractical Jokers: the Movie” knowing absolutely nothing about the concept or the group of four comedians, who have a popular television show of the same name on truTV. I left the theater with tears in my eyes from laughing so heartily. Think of this as a hybrid between classic episodes of “Candid Camera” mixed with a not-as-gross version of “Jackass.”

Their shtick is that the four lifelong friends (Joe Gatto, James Murray, Brian Quinn and Sal Vulcano, also known as The Tenderloins) compete in a serious of outrageous dares with the final goal of embarrassing each other. Aided by hidden cameras and microphones, the guys challenge each other to say or do something and if they refuse, they lose. If you think that sounds funny, or if you frequent the website Funny or Die, you’ll probably enjoy this movie.

The film takes this idea and wraps it around a very loose plot. It tells the story of a humiliating high school mishap from the early 1990s that sends the Jokers on an epic road trip from New York to Miami, competing in hidden camera challenges along the way. Almost every gag hits and hits big, and I haven’t laughed this much in a movie theater in a long, long time.

There are some obvious one-liners that only fans of the show will get (like the repeated jokes about the 5th season; wow that must’ve been bad!), but it was easy for me to be thrust right into the gang of forty-something gagsters. Maybe it worked for me because I had no prior background. But I immediately liked all of these guys, and there’s something satisfying and entertaining about watching grown men endlessly goofing around. I really enjoyed spending time with them.

Some skits/challenges held together with a thin storyline - the guys going to Miami to hang with Paula Abdul who they had a run-in with back in 1999. The scripted segments were fine even though their talents are made for that sort of thing and the skits did have me rolling, though I am a fan. That said, of the 90-minute running time, I think about half the movie are the challenges. But if you're a fan of the show, it's fine for one viewing, but I'll stick with the episodes. **3.0/5**

As a side, the Blu-ray release has no bonus material and one would think there are deleted scenes or even some behind-the-scenes footage or something.
