The Pest Ratings & Reviews

  • StationManagerDaveNelsonJanuary 15, 2026
    As Jimmy James (the man so nice they named him twice) once said: "ohh I love that crazy mixed up day!" The same can be said about Pest. What a wacky and wild 24 hours in Miami. If you're looking for juvenile fart humor and dislike German people, this is the film for you. But don't take your Adderall before watching. You'll need to be at the top of your ADHD game to keep up with this one. 1.5 stars deducted because no nudity :(
