There’s been a nagging trend in comedies since, oh around the time Kevin Smith and Clerks came onto the scene. For good measure, let’s also throw in the Farrelly Brothers and their cultclassic Dumb & Dumber. Maybe not those specific films, but somehwere around that time or a couple years earlier, comedies decided they needed the over-confident idiot character who would always get his chums into trouble. He’s accompanied by stubborn jackass, who doesn’t want to be there as well as bumbling idiot do-gooder, who usually has something hanging in the balance. Either of these characters can be annoying as all sin, just so long as one of them is. The laughs in these films usually consist of pure out shock toilet humor, involving a character doing something completely outrageous and out of the ordinary. Tucker Max seems to have lived some pretty outrageous times in his life, »

The adventures of Tucker Max, his sexual escapades and how his selfish antics bring him and his two friends on the craziest bachelor party that goes awry. This is the basis for the novel adaptation of the NY Times bestseller ‘I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell’. Through the swirl of sex, booze and midgets, the film version falls flat on its face.
The film suffers the most with its own plot. Though the antics of Tucker and his friends are humorous to a certain extent, it becomes a tad too shallow and over the top to believe that this had happened for real. The characters’ stereotypes are drawn out so much to an extent that if ever faced with any of them in person you would probably want to run to the other end of the bar.
What should be saluted is Matt Czuchry’s portrayal of the obnoxious »

Seen on: September 19, 2009
The players: Director: Bob Gosse, Writers: Tucker Max, Nils Parker, Cast: Matt Czuchry, Jesse Bradford, Geoff Stults, Keri Lynn Pratt
Facts of interest: Based on Tucker Max's best seller.
The plot: The film follows Tucker Max as he and his buddies visit a strip club to launch a friend's bachelor party.
Our thoughts: Up until now, I have never seen a film in which the protagonist realizes he’s an asshole after uncontrollably shitting his pants in the middle of a hotel lobby. That’s exactly what happens in Bob Gosse’s “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell,” which is based on Tucker Max’s hilarious, yet downright vulgar best seller. »

Chicago – The main problem with “I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell,” based on Tucker Max’s memoir about a hard partying, devil-may-care womanizer, is that the screenwriter (Max himself) didn’t have the cojones to go all the way.
Rating: 1.0/5.0 If Max is going to relate this “based-on-fact” story, so awesomely politically incorrect, why not just take it to the limit and make it totally offensive, instead of trying to placate the “audience” with stupid – and unbelievable – happy endings and upper middle class banalities like getting married and celebrating “relationships.”
I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is the adventurous story of three young lads who set out to have a grand time on friend Dan’s (Geoff Stults) bachelor party, by kidnapping him against the wishes of his intended and going to out-of-town Salem, where apparently they have a strip club where you can touch the girls all you want. »

Professional film critics should never walk into a movie already knowing whether or not they're going to like it. (But they do). Many professional critics will even state that they abstain from forming the simplest opinion about a film until they've seen it. (But they're lying). Professional critics will claim it's about integrity and ethics. (But they forget that it's also human nature). And right now you're wondering why the hell I've mentioned 'professional critics' three times when I so clearly am not one. (Fuck you). I may not be paid in the traditional sense here at Fsr, but I do get free DVDs, movie screenings, and film festival passes. (I also received a bonus once in the form of a happy ending from one of Fsr's columnists. You know who you are...) But I still like to think I can act just as professional as the folks that are remunerated in actual duckets. Which »

Who’s It For? The college crowd who want to re-experience the only book they’ve ever read outside of class.
Expectations: The tales I had previously heard about Tucker Max were impressive only in the way that they constantly seemed to dig deeper and deeper into moral disregard. Going into this film, I had not read the book beforehand.

Mmm Beer A tireless and charismatic novelty seeker, Tucker (Matt Czuchry) tricks his buddy Dan (Geoff Stults) into lying to his fiancée, so they can go to a legendary strip club to celebrate Dan’s last days of bachelorhood in proper style.
Tucker drags their misanthropic friend Drew (Jesse Bradford) along for the ride, and before they know it Tucker’s pursuit of a hilarious carnal interest lands Dan in serious trouble with the law and his future wife. The ensuing blowout leaves Tucker uninvited to the wedding and ankle deep in a mess of his own creation.
If he wants back into the wedding and the lives of his best friends, he’ll have to find a way to balance the demands of friendship with his own narcissism and selfishness. -

This week, contrasting approaches to filmmaking bring about balance and equilibrium. Experimentalism (Sally Potter's "Rage" and Michael Almereyda's "Paradise") collides head on with tried and tested formulas (the Clive Owen starrer "The Boys Are Back" and a remake of "Fame").

From the producers of The Ring and The Grudge comes, one of this years most suspenseful and chilling films, The Echo. Seriously, I honestly approached this movie with some major skepticism as I do much of the wave of Asian/American remakes, but this one actually scared me in some scenes. The Echo is definitely worth a glance!
Max (Jesse Bradford) returns to his dead mom’s New York apartment after being released from prison. As Max settles in, the mysteries behind his mother’s strange behavior leading up to her death begin to unravel. Not only haunted by strange and grotesque apparitions, Max must also deal with the domestic violence going on next door, and neighbors who won’t help and want nothing to do with the ex-con.
This remake of the Philippine film Sigsaw, draws heavy influence from its Asian original, largely in part because Yam Laranas sat »

The title is a bit of a mouthful, the premise is something we’ve seen this year, and there aren’t any recognizable names in the film, yet I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is looking more and more like the sleeper comedy of the year. Based on what one could only call a “testimony” by writer Tucker Max about his exploits during his best friend’s bachelor party, this movie may just get that title.
Matt Czuchry gets the inglorious honor of playing the main character, Tucker Max, as a loudmouth, womanizing player — which pretty much describes Max. Czuchry is probably best known for his role as Logan Huntzberger, the rebel boyfriend on Gilmore Girls, which he played for five years. Alongside Matt is Jesse Bradford, who is probably best known for his roles in films such as Hackers, Bring it On and Swimf@n.

Fun for Wednesdays! We look at an image from an upcoming movie and write snarky, witty, or otherwise entertaining captions for it. No prizes, it’s just for fun. Is this the promise of the Internet? Overgrown frat-boy blogger Tucker Max managed to get his bestselling book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell transfigured into a movie. (I guess he plied Hollywood with too much liquor.) A taste: Freestyle Releasing appears utterly unembarrassed to reveal: A tireless and charismatic novelty seeker, Tucker (Matt Czuchry) tricks his buddy Dan (Geoff Stults) into lying to his fiancée, so they can go to a legendary strip club to celebrate Dan’s last days of bachelorhood in proper style.

Now this was a must. The green band trailer for I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell was only okay, with most of you who have read the book extremely disappointed. Yes, I've heard the complaints from my friends -- the movie doesn't look like it will stand up to the source. Okay, but what do you think of it now that we have a red band trailer?

Labor Day weekend is coming up, and it's a holiday that marks the end of the summer movie season along with summer itself. All the kids are heading back to the classroom for another dreaded year of school and (for those in L.A. like myself) the weather starts to cool... hopefully. While fall usually isn't seen as a cinematic hotbed, with the blockbuster summer season over, there are still plenty of quality films to check out at the box office. This year we have Megan Fox's possessed body, a sensational animated film and a new zombie adventure. There's a lot more that I'm looking forward to this fall, so here is a comphrehensive look at what you can expect from this fall movie season.
Starring: Gerard Butler, Kyra Sedgwick, Michael C. Hall, Chris "Ludacris" Bridges, John Leguizamo, Amber Valletta, Terry Crews, Logan Lerman, »
