NekoHomey Purely Joyful Movie!

Myron Clemons A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

David Roggenkamp Three bachelors decide to hit up a strip club to celebrate a bachelor party before one of their own becomes married; this involves him lieing to his wife so that he has time to go with his friends nearly 250 miles away to said strip club. Lots of social pickup artist going on, ups and downs with bar hopping, and the misadventures that happen when things go awry. The movie isn't shy about the characters acting anti-social and otherwise wrecking everyone else's fun; this also catches up with each of them at some point and they pay the price for it. In the end, the main man of the group, Tucker, mentions he went only on whim to have sex with a midget; all to get even with his law school professor.The movie has received negative reviews and it is often compared to another movie "The Hangover". After watching the first few twenty minutes of the movie, I thought it would be good; but the movie quickly falls apart after that; dull comedy, characters acting immature and making fools of themselves, bad jokes, and what looks like perfectly executed highs and lows of pickup culture, only make the movie worse. It could have very much been like a horror movie with the promise of something good happening, only to have it blow up in the characters faces. True to fashion, it does so, like a horror movie, but as it is comedy, it doesn't quite have the effect.The movie does a lot to save itself; but the pacing otherwise reflects on dull comedy as characters constantly try to justify and redeem themselves. The good parts become bad frequently, and the bad parts are more like comedy that tries to be funny despite what is happening. This movie is not worth viewing.Originally posted to Orion Age (http://www.orionphysics.com/? p=6160).

The Grand Master I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is one of my favourite books of all time. It was hilarious and even though Tucker Max is a self confessed a***hole, he is a great writer. I was eagerly looking forward to seeing I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell as a movie. The end result was extremely underwhelming. It was as if the movie had been butchered.Loosely adapted from "The Austin Road Trip Story" in Tucker Max's book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, the movie centers on Tucker Max (Matt Czuchry) and his buddies Dan (Geoff Stults) and Drew (Jesse Bradford). Tucker decides to take an impromptu trip to celebrate his Dan's bachelor party after he lies to Dan's fiancée Kristy (Keri Lynn Pratt). Tucker finds himself in trouble with the law and his friends and finds himself banned from the wedding. Tucker must work to make things right with his friends so he can attend the wedding.The movie was unfunny, disgusting, bland, and overall extremely bad. The acting itself was overall woeful. There was nothing redeemable about this movie whatsoever. This movie made Tucker Max very unlikeable. I acknowledge that the real like Tucker Max can attract an equal number of fans and haters due to his controversial views and supposed sexist views and glorification of drunken behaviour. In fact, Tucker Max is frequently the target of many feminist groups.To the production team of the movie: Thanks for nothing. You turned a best selling novel into one of the worst movies of the year. The book is still one of my favourite books of all time however I treat the movie as if it did not exist.1/10.

kgeezy I'll admit, i haven't read the book. I'm not a fan of autobiographies, but I do enjoy a good biopic (if it's less than 3 hours and not about a musician) Looking at the Wikipedia page and this page, it would seem that this movie was going to be horrible. For me, it wasn't. The dialogue with the constant insults, over-enunciated big words, and imaginative physical punishments was pretty fun(ny). I found myself laughing more from a "what did he just say to her?" HAHAHAHA As I've suggested it to some friends, my encouragement has been "man, the stuff they say to each other and other people is the funniest part." Okay, Jesse Bradford's Drew as the stereotypical college geek with an extensive vocabulary who feels compelled to say words greater than 3 syllables with Malkovich-ian enunciation did get on my nerves. Tucker Max's fetishes and excesses are played to humorous effect, but the plot is still predictable. It's not about the destination, it's the rideIt's not Wedding Crashers. Wedding Crashers had endearing characters and Christopher Walken.

Chrysanthepop Even though in reality Tucker Max may be a pretentious git and 'I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell' is by no means among the best in comedy, I actually enjoyed the film. I haven't read the novel but I liked the title and the actors so I have been looking forward to it. Then the negativity that surrounded it after release lowered my expectations and when I saw it last night I laughed.The movie does try to use shock value (how often does one witness someone with a shitty ass on screen) but that doesn't work in its favour. The dialogues are quite extreme and even offensive to women but I liked how the women react to it. The Drew character mostly because of his transformation from heartbroken women hater to a devoted lover. For me the best scenes were with Drew and I enjoyed watching his love story with Lara unfold.The acting is quite good. Matt Czuchry, Geoff Stults and Jesse Bradford are brilliant. Bradford steals the show with terrific dialogue delivery. This actor deserves some good scripts. Marika Dominiczyk is both sensual and sensational. Kerry Lyn Pratt is very likable.'I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell' may not be a particularly great movie but it's fun once you're passed the misogynistic part of it. It doesn't really stay true to the title though.
