Bert Kreischer rose to fame as a stand-up comedian known as The Machine, and in his signature set he recounts his true experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze-soaked college trip. Now, 23 years later, that trip has come back to haunt him as he and his estranged father (Mark Hamill) are kidnapped back to Russia by the mob to atone for something they say he did. Together, Bert and his father must retrace the steps of his younger self (Jimmy Tatro) in the midst of a war within a sociopathic crime family, all while attempting to find common ground in their often fraught relationship.

The Machine Review

‘The Machine’ finds comedian Bert Kreischer drawing from his most famous story to wild effect. Adapted from Kreischer’s tale of time spent with the Russian mafia in his student days, arrives as a winning blend of ‘The Hangover’ and his own confessional style.

In theaters on May 26th, ‘The Machine’ brings comedian Bert Kreischer’s story to the big screen with all the shirtless shenanigans that implies. There are many stories of partying in college –– and many movies about that very idea. Bert Kreischer’s though is something quite different, and the new movie based on his 2016 stand-up routine offers a wild ride where the consequences of his actions back in the day come back to haunt him.
