I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009)

Excellent adaptation.

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

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

I want to start with I have no idea why everyone is giving it a one star, i absolutely loved it. It's all about the dialogue. It's quick and witty and always at someone's expense. I really connect with Drew having had a (semi spoiler alert) a girl viciously cheat on me and leave me, kick me out of our apartment and threaten to bang dudes in front of me if I didn't leave right then. Which was after she infected me with chlamydia. So that might be why I loved it so much because they said everything I wish I was a big enough a**hole to say. The ending is great and it's a pretty good ride through out. I constantly laugh during the whole thing even though I've seen it quite a few times. The three friends have great chemistry even when they are at odds. I highly recommend watching it. As long as you're not uptight, whiny, or easily offended. Because it's target audience is most definitely not you. Don't be to sensitive and just relax and enjoy it!

I never read the book. So I am reviewing the movie based on no prior knowledge of the storyline. Wow. This is a bad, bad movie, and I think it's the fault of Tucker Max.Tucker Max is the writer of the book of the same name that became a best seller. Apparently he took those profits and made the movie because his name was displayed in large letters as the producer in the credits. He is also listed as the screenwriter. I'm guessing his success went to his head and he thought he knew how to make movies, but he doesn't. Because he was the boss, no one would - or could - tell him that his script was terrible and his director wasn't getting the job done.What we're left with is an attempt at crude, college humor. Single guys drinking, chasing women, and all the stereotypical jokes that you would expect. The problem is that the jokes are not funny. The three lead characters are incredibly unlikable.Yes, I understand this movie is supposed to be about redemption, so the characters are supposed to be unlikeable at first. However, there is nothing to like about these guys. There is no glint of morality or decency that leads you to believe the guy isn't as bad as he seems. So, by the end of the movie, you just really don't care what happens to them. This is what other reviewers mean when they say there is no character development.Almost every other ratings website gives this movie an extremely low - if not their lowest - rating. I have no idea how IMDb has this averaged out at 5.3 out of 10 stars. My only guess is that Tucker Max is paying people to log on and give excessively high ratings. Since the story is supposed to be autobiographical, he seems to be the kind of person that would do something like that.

I have no idea what compelled me to watch this movie, or finish it for that matter. usually a fan of Jesse Bradford, but this time around his acting is horrible and comes off as forced and unenthusiastic. it may be the writing, but it's almost as if it is painful for him to play this role. his chauvinistic and downright obnoxious comments make you wonder how this guy even had a girlfriend, let alone any friends. he's like the Debbie downer of the group. he proceeds to tall crap to the stripper and then falls in love w her?! and the fiancé, Keri Lynn Pratt is also horrible and a sad excuse for an actress. shes not even the least bit pretty so idk why or how she got this role. probably slept w Tucker to get it bc she cannot act. her voice is nasally and high pitched which makes it AND her beyond annoying. reminds me of a snotty 6 yr old little whiny brat. it's any wonder why she hasn't had any real major roles in a decent film!! the bathroom scene near the end is vulgar and makes you sick to your stomach. it is truly gag worthy. if Tucker max really thought this film would be bigger & better than the hangover then he is absolutely delusional, thus making it easy for one to see how he thought that this would be a hit in any capacity-he is just downright delusional. horrible storyline, god awful "acting" and just a crude waste of your time.

I tripped onto this movie at 0100Am on a Sunday morning expecting to turn the TV off and go to bed. They story line and the characters were to good to turn and walk away. I found myself laughing so hard at the character's lines, especially Tucker's. And I never watch movies to get a laugh. EVER!! I guess I liked it so much because it reminded me of my younger years and the guys I hung out with. There is always one in the group that everybody loves and hates all at the same time. The instigator. The one who always talks you into what you know is a really bad idea, but you do it anyway. I actually have a good friend named Tucker who falls into that category. This was just a FUN movie!!! This movie made me want to go back to my twenties and thirties and do it all over again. Ah, the good ole days!!!! LOL!!! I will watch it again. Two thumbs up.
