Those of you who turned on your PCs to check the evening Steam update will have been met with an unusual sight.<\/p>\n

As the New Releases scrolled in, there appeared what looked to be a raunchy teen sex comedy and the bewildered look of a familiar South African vlogger<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

British-born, South African based sensation Caspar Lee is the co-star of “Laid in America” – the story of two immigrants who have one night left to party it up in the USA.<\/p>\n

Perhaps more exciting than the local recognition is the unique distribution of Laid in America, which will be skipping a cinematic release solely for digital and DVD copies.<\/p>\n

“Our audience is so online and international, it makes sense. It really depends how much money this movie makes,” 22-year-old Caspar explained to the BBC<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The movie currently has a “Positive” rating on Steam, with several comparisons made to teen-classics Superbad and American Pie.<\/p>\n
