  This is really a poor man's "Hangover". I really wanted to like it, and I did like some about it, but overall was letdown. The two biggest problems I had with the movie were the characters and it ran too long. The thing about movies like the "Hangover" that make them great are the characters. You get emotionally invested in them, and have a true affection for them. Here, I didn't care about any of the guys. Tucker was a douche, Drew was whiny, and Dan was just there. Most everything Drew said tried to be funny, but really came out stupid, and I was left thinking "Why in the hell did he say that? It makes absolutely no sense." As far as Tucker, what is there to like about him? I mean he has a couple funny moments, but the movie is about him, he should be somewhat likable. Instead he's a tool, and like Drew just has some really ignorant lines. The movie is almost two hours, and could have easily been a half hour shorter. Cut out half the horrible dialogue and it may have been a good movie. Instead it's a big waste of time. I'm all for R rated comedies and guy humor, but this was more douche bag humor(not saying I'm not a douche bag). Just watch the "Hangover" movies or "Van Wilder" instead, because why settle for a lousy cheap imitation?

  I'm a big Tucker Max fan, and I read his book religiously. This film is based on Max's heralded, cult classic, best-selling book <i>I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell</i>. The book is nothing more than a collaboration of short stories about random nights out drinking with his buddies and having sex with random women. His stories, in essence even if they are fabricated or exaggerated as some have claimed, are pure comedic gold. His savvy charm and his sparkling wit makes every guy want to be him and every girl want to be with him. Through his book of course, a portrait is painted of Tucker Max that renders him endearing despite his self-indulgent, chauvinistic demeanor. This majestic dickhead, so to speak, would be awfully hard to pull off on the big screen. This daunting duty went to a no-namer Matt Czuchry, who actually pulled off a very convincing funny heartless bastard; but however, he failed to be likable in anyway possible. <p>Another aspect of this film that drew hesitation from me would be the script itself. The book doesn't flow like your typical story... it's just a collaboration of Tucker's random nights out on the town, there's no real story arc. So of course what we get is a very linear, predictable, over-hashed bachelor party storyline. Tucker Max himself wrote the script, and even deemed it far better than comedic powerhouses <i>The Hangover</i> and <i>Wedding Crashers</i>. Hopefully the enormous belly flop this film took humbled our author a little... but probably not.<p> Loyal fans of the book, like myself, will recognize a lot of his stories in the plot. It's also undeniable to admit that Tucker's cruel sense of humor is actually funny. However, the film fails to capture the comedic brilliance of the book, but Tucker's followers will still be pleased. It's a good, mindless laugh.

  I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell is yet another in the continuation of films trying to carry the jock of the film known as Bachelor Party, failing miserably in the process. The basic premise is that Drew (Jesse Bradford) is getting married, but his fiance doesn't want him going to a strip club three hours away. The local strippers are fine, but not elsewhere. Maybe she worked there or something. I don't know, but serial sex pervert Tucker (Max Czuchry) has other plans, which include using his friends impending marriage as an excuse to go far, far away and hump a midget stripper. Throw in Drew (Geoff Stults), who is the token guy who just got dumped and hates all women (remember Bachelor Party?). All hell breaks loose, there's anger, there's midget sex, and everything works out in the end. Right? Now the first mistake that will happen is the comparisons with The Hangover. First, The Hangover was actually funny with a plot that worked. I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell is shit, a massive, steaming pile of crap that just sits there waiting for the next crap scene that makes little sense. The acting is garbage, the script is worthy of a nice flushing with characters that are not even one dimension. Can we go to fractions on this? The characters did the same schtick for the 90 plus minutes of the film, even until they have their moments of clarity. This movie goes no where, which is fine when the film is actually funny. Hell will be 24 hour showings of this film and Spider-man 3 over and over again. Hitler is probably watching this film right now.

  In "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell," it is surprising that Tucker Max(Matt Czuchry, of television shows infinitely better than this) can study in law school when he is constantly either thinking about sex or acting on those urges, like the night before when his tryst with a deaf woman(Yvette Yates) was interrupted by the police for being too loud. So, he is definitely the right person to schedule the bachelor party for his pal Don(Geoff Stults). The local no touching rule complicates matters by forcing them to go a couple of hours out of their way, even if Don has to lie to his fiancee, Kristy(Keri Lynn Pratt), about this road trip. And hopefully it will cheer up Drew(Jesse Bradford) who has been morose and angry ever since he caught his girlfriend giving head. See, I have a soft spot in my heart for rogues which is what drew me to "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" in the first place but shortly came to regret my decision. While the movie is certainly worthless, it was not quite reprehensible enough for me to fumigate my DVD player. The filmmakers think these men are likable and their antics funny but they are anything but, especially in the insults aimed at women. As much as they may want to deny it, there is very little difference between sexism and misogyny as Tucker takes objectifying women to new lows in seeking to zero out his purity test score. Even then, the movie has a sentimental finale, after the requisite gross-out gags.

  This movie despite it's crude level of humor has a lesson to be learned. You cannot treat people WORSE than you treat yourself and expect them to stick around...period. All in all there are a couple of laughs if you are the type of person that finds laughing at someone's handicaps hysterical. There is an unrated version which makes viewing this film worth it's while.

  Tucker Max. You either love him or hate him. Based on the book of the same name by lead character, Tucker Max, who drags his best friends Dan who is getting married, and Drew on a bachelor road trip to a strip club (where it's "hands-on" fun) in Salem the night that Dan's devoutly Baptist mother-in-law is coming into town to finalize the last of the wedding plans. In typical buddy/bromance/bachelor party movie outings, things don't go according to plan. After a night of debauchery and bar hopping, the groom finds himself in jail and caught in a lie by his fiancée while Drew, who supposed hates all women ends up at the home of a single-mom-stripper. Meanwhile Tucker finds himself dashing naked through a hotel lobby with a case of explosive diarrhea from a can of beer laced with a laxative by a woman he insults. (yeah us women don't get mad, we get even) When it comes out that Tucker only forced Dan into a lie to cross an achievement off his sexual bucket list, Dan cuts Tucker out of his wedding and Tucker's comeuppance will leave you gasping (if not gagging) with laughter. This is a vulgar comedy that pushes the boundaries of what's considered appropriate comedic material. It dares you to laugh offering up terrible examples of human behavior with insults flying out like shrapnel. But...it's funny. <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=105pcty" target="_blank"><img src="http://i54.tinypic.com/105pcty.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=2iuou9x" target="_blank"><img src="http://i51.tinypic.com/2iuou9x.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=11udaq1" target="_blank"><img src="http://i52.tinypic.com/11udaq1.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a> <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=qyu25i" target="_blank"><img src="http://i52.tinypic.com/qyu25i.jpg" border="0" alt="Image and video hosting by TinyPic"></a>

  I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell is a movie based on the book of the same name. The book, I wasn't familiar with it until I saw the movie, is a compilation of supposedly true short stories about drinking. The book was on the best sellers list for a while, but the movie won't be. It's a limited release movie that is actually pretty good. It's not American Pie or The Hangover good, but it's pretty entertaining and plenty funny. It starts off really good, and there is a desperately lame part of the film toward the ending that needed to be changed. During that part they have a scene that is unfunny, where it shouldn't fail at any level. It's a guy who has to poop real bad. How can you not make that funny? It can be done, and is in this movie. I think they were trying to insert a sad, serious moment (just before the pooping scene), and that's where they failed on a pretty large scale. The ending picks back up and saves what almost had me let down by Beer. The only actor that is really recognizable is Jesse Bradford, but he usually does small parts. Everyone does well playing their roles, and for such a low budget movie, the casting was really good. Boobs, beer and wild times, besides the poorly done part to this movie, it's good. You'll find lots of laughs, but you'd be better served waiting to see it on a movie channel than passing on other movies that are out and seeing this in theaters.

  Profoundly unfunny garbage. One of the worst movies of 2009
