Saša shows the most interest at first, while David and Jachym are too wrapped up in their online worlds to barely say hello. The four girls poke fun at the boys but are not unfriendly – something that our nerds don’t notice as they are too busy having meltdowns about running out of battery on their phones. Much to her dismay, they are all staying at the same campsite. Záhorský instantly zooms in on Tereza with his lecherous chat-up technique. They find more company on the trail when they meet Roman Záhorský (Pavel Nečas), an over-zealous cycle instructor in charge of four young female speedskaters out for a bit of summer training. Not that the boys notice, however – they are too busy trying to get a wifi signal, and neither the glorious Bohemian nature nor the sight of Tereza’s backside in tight cycling shorts is enough to rouse attention from their mobile phones… Once agreed on the trip, they head off to South Bohemia for a long cycle ride across the typically gorgeous Czech landscape. Not exactly relishing the prospect of hanging out with his step-sibling, Jachym asks his best friend Saša along (Vojtěch Machuta), who supports his family by posing as a gay fashion guru on Youtube. Tereza, a mountain bike enthusiast who dreams of pulling off gnarly stunts like the kids at the local cycle track, reluctantly agrees.Īlso along for the ride is David’s hated stepbrother Jachym (Adam Mišík), another pale-faced shut-in who lives with David’s relentless psychiatrist mother and her timid new husband, who is terrified of her. In an attempt to cure the boy, he coerces his attractive younger girlfriend Tereza (Hana Vagnerová) to take David on a 200km bike ride to get some air in his lungs and maybe talk to real girls in real-world scenarios.
We first meet Patrik (Tomás Matonoha), an energetic divorcee exasperated by his teenage son David (Jan Komínek) who would rather sit around in a darkened room playing fantasy RPGs instead of wanking himself silly to all the free porn online. As far as modern Czech comedies go, it isn’t anywhere near as bad as Spindl, a film so dispiriting that it might make you take a vow of celibacy and go live on top of a mountain somewhere, well away from other members of the human race. Next up is Bikers from Martin Kopp ( 3Grapes), a film that owes a vague debt to movies like American Pie and Euro Trip. I don’t know why this craving has emerged, but I’m currently taking heavy doses of Ingmar Bergman and Carl Theodor Dreyer to help overcome this nasty affliction…
There are dozens on Netflix right now and I have the strange urge to crack through every single one of them, even though I know they will be mostly terrible. Lately, I have become addicted to lame Czech raunchy comedies. You can now watch Bikers on VOD with our partners Eyelet HERE!
