Smosh: The Movie is a 2015 American comedy film directed by Alex Winter, and distributed by 20th Century Fox in the U.S./Canada and by Lionsgate Internationally. The film stars the YouTube comedy duo Smosh (which consists of Anthony Padilla and Ian Hecox) as well as appearances from other YouTube stars, such as Jenna Marbles, Grace Helbig, Markiplier, and Harley Morenstein. This is Smosh's first theatrical film, and revolves around Smosh going inside YouTube virtually to alter a clip that will ruin Anthony's chances of winning over his crush, Anna.
The film premiered at Los Angeles and Vidcon 2015 on July 22–23, and was released in the United States on July 24, 2015 to mixed reviews. It was then released in the United Kingdom, by Lionsgate. Though the film did not release internationally, the film instead released through on-demand on Vimeo and Netflix.
Anthony (Padilla) and Ian (Hecox) are best friends and live in a small house, with Ian's parents. After going to the Game Bang game center, in which they were bullied by some street kids, due to Anthony's dumb pizza car, they find a video of Anthony reciting the Magic Pocket Slave Monsters theme (an obvious parody of the Pokémon theme song and reference to Smosh's deleted video [their first video]) at their high school graduation. In the video, Anthony attempts to impress his crush, Anna Reed (Nelson), by trying to do a backflip, but he fails, landing on his face, and the microphone lands in his anus. They both decide to pull down the video before it blows Anthony's chances of reconnecting with his crush.
They travel to the YouTube headquarters, where they meet a receptionist named Stephanie (Helbig) who introduces them to the President of the company, Steve YouTube (Michael Ian Black). Steve explains that the only way to fix the video is by literally going inside YouTube through a portal, and changing the video from the inside. Anthony decides that it is important enough to go through with it, so Ian accompanies him in traveling through YouTube.
