Review of I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009) by Colin O — 21 Apr 2010

Oh this was bad. From the off this movie tries to be the most offensive movie possible and pretty much succeeds. Ladies and Gentlemen please meet Tucker Max. He says repulsive, horrible things about other people, but hey! that's okay because he's actually quite savvy, knowing about government bodies and factions so that he can embarrass his teachers when they try to reprimand him. Wow, he's so cool.

This is all supposedly based on fact, but if these events did occur they took place in the mind of Tucker Max. Not even the most masochistic lunatics in the world would want to actually be friends with him. He's the kind of guy who'd rape a blind lady, safe in the knowledge he could talk his way out of it. There's no huge life lessons to be learnt here, and the characters experience no discernible growth as people. Tucker's only real comeuppance comes from when one of his victims laces his drink with laxatives, leading to a particularly horrible sequence, and his only realisation is that he needs to keep his friends on his side or he'll have no-one to show off to or have listen to his boorish, prattish, dickhead routine.
