Nardo is one of three idiot friends. When Jason, the most idiot of the three idiot friends, fouls up Nardo's wedding, Nardo goes after fiancée Tracy, who has gone to Mexico to enjoy the pre-booked honeymoon holiday on her own. After Nardo is carjacked and left naked in remote Mexican badlands, the other two idiots have to go and rescue him.
Search Party badly wants to be The Hangover, and isn't. TJ Miller, who seemed to have cornered the market in annoying idiot friends until Zack Galifinakifianikanifikianikis came along, is as annoying as ever: being annoying isn't necessarily humour, though.
There are precisely four reasons for seeing this movie: they are Shannon Woodward (fiancée Tracy, cute in a bikini),Rosa Salazar (waitress Pocohontas, cute in a short Red Indian outfit),Krysten Ritter (bar pick-up Christy, hot in sexy undies),and Alison Brie (co-worker Elizabeth, opulent in clinging office wear). Conversely, Nardo/Thomas Middleditch's member gets rather more screen time than it deserves, and wasn't a plus point in my book.
This is one of those comedies which substitutes stupid and annoying for funny, as a result of which I found it stupid and annoying. And not funny.
Plot summary
Convinced that his buddy Nardo (Thomas Middleditch) is making the mistake of a lifetime by marrying Tracy (Shannon Woodward),Jason (T.J. Miller) puts a dramatic end to their wedding. When the furious bride decides to take her Baja honeymoon solo, Nardo follows her-where the lovesick groom is carjacked and left stranded, naked and penniless in a remote part of the Mexican desert. Helpless, Nardo sends out an SOS to Jason and their pal Evan (Adam Pally),an up-and-coming ad exec slated for an important business meeting the next morning. During their ridiculous attempt to rescue Nardo, the trio embarks on a series of increasingly outrageous misadventures involving con artists, drug smugglers and even the Federales.

Poor Man's Hangover, only not funny
Funny and Fun to watch, underrated!
Not funny the whole time but I don't know what people expect anymore, it was pretty good. I think this movie is underrated for sure though, I've seen comedy movies worse than this one and people think is funny, example "anchorman". There's different times of comedy, gotta give this one a chance. I would watch It again to honest. Don't read other comments, if you like hangover, Harold and Kumar type comedies then you will like this one.
Funny at times, outrageously bad and of poor taste at other times.
Movie would have been lot better, if the writers thought about it with some common sense. Some scenes were hilarious, but some dumb and dumber. Not a total waste of time, but almost there.
