I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell Audience Reviews

Steineded How sad is this?
ShangLuda Admirable film.
ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
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).
Steve Pulaski It's so hard to praise a movie that is shamelessly sexist and gratuitously dirty in its content, but somehow, some conceivable way, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is very funny. It works on a level almost not possible because every character is fully developed, packs in urgency, and is heavy on their wit because of the great writing put behind them.The novel of the same name was written by Tucker Max, who serves as the main writer on the film. Max literally got famous for being a stuck-up, arrogant narcissist who cares only about himself and never stops to determine the unintended consequences bound to happen from his scenarios. He just does. Never thinks, just does. Something about this character makes for a very, very interesting study and film.What works is Tucker, played by Matt Czurchy, is not this one-dimensional figure you'd see in an American Pie spin off. He is a smart character who knows how to smart-ass his way in and out of any situation. The way he speaks is not one of an out-of-touch adolescent teenage boasting arrogance, but one of a somewhat intelligent, aware person stuck inside a cocky person's body. His friends aren't one dimensional either. His friend Drew, played by Jesse Bradford, is a flaming misogynist after he caught his girlfriend cheating on him. Here's another character that could've been played with such childish enigma, lacking urgency and acting solely on present emotions. The character instead doesn't come off as shallow but as funny and welcomed. Yes, he goes a bit too far. But who could blame him? We don't tend to rationalize everything when we are in the mood he's in. That makes it somewhat acceptable.The story is centered around Tucker Max and his quest to give his pal Dan (Stults) a great bachelor party by going to a strip club in Salem where the "no touch" rule is not enforced. Dan is getting married in a matter of days and believes that this trip, much to the dismay of his fiancée, threatens his marriage plans. Tucker doesn't care. He his own goal in mind.This isn't the typical road trip movie I was led to believe. It's actually a very funny frat-boy comedy. It relies on wittiness rather than antics to carry its story, unlike many films of the same genre. It's very low budget, shot on a mere $7 million. Film grain and under-lit parts are common, but I'd rather have those two elements be present in a good comedy than glossy, HD cameras shooting a carbon copy raunch-fest.I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is charming, although sometimes it goes a bit too far. The jokes about women are a little below the belt, but after reading Max's first two books, that's something I kind of got used to. Some expected the film to document multiple stories from the book. I'd personally rather have one fully developed story than a plethora of underdeveloped vignettes. The story they chose was acceptable and the way they went about it was unexpectedly clever. What else do you want? Starring: Matt Czurchy, Jesse Bradford, and Geoff Stults. Directed by: Bob Gosse.
sitahsinrva Lead keeps referring to "Richmond" and from this i could only draw up the conclusion of RICHMOND, VA. due in fact that they are driving 250 miles to SALEM, NC. The "ABITA BEER LOGO" would indicate that this is actually taking place in LOUISIANA. Why you ask? well we all know it is very cheap to film here due to low taxes on property. In every scene there is at least 3 people(extras) that look directly at the camera, not to mention that the married man to be packs a bag to go on this stupid trip to a strip bar( so over played and should be put on the shelf) but never enters into the S.U.V with it.. Alas i started to wonder what that one character from "HACKERS" was doing....well not to much.
totalfailure here'e the thing - the movie is billed as a comedy but actually felt a bit like a horror movie. the male characters, are, well, very creepy. now, i've read tucker max material years ago on the web. it was funny stuff. but this movie...it seemed like these guys were getting ready to kidnap and rape a girl for a protracted period of time before killing her. they were downright threatening and brutal to the various females they met. i got as far as the bar/roadtrip scene before i just had to turn it off.if this were rewritten as a horror movie, about some psychos looking to brutalize a college girl, i would have stuck around. but the movie is trying to get me to like these protagonists, and i just can't do that.also, it was totally unfunny. not a real joke or setup in the whole thing.
