Review of I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009) by Emily Y — 02 Oct 2010

Tucker Max is an asshole. If you know that ahead of time, you may find some of the scenarios about Tucker getting drunk with his buddies and having sex with random women funny. Based on his own best selling book, this movie takes toilet humor to a whole new level. Its crude, crass, offensive and at times funny. However, I find it hard to believe that Tucker didn't get his ass kicked in real life based on the way he treated women, and his friends for that matter. Nonetheless, fans of raunchy comedy movies will most likely find something to laugh at -- I know I did.

I'll admit, the humor did wear thing after a while as the jokes were all the same just told a different way. And by the end of the movie, it seemingly took everything I just saw and wrapped it up into a nice and neat little "message" about how people in your life should be treated with respect.

Since I haven't read the book - although I picked it up several times while at Borders, I could never find myself curious enough to buy it, I question whether Tucker Max actually found some redemption based on his exploits...my guess is he didn't. But the movie tells me otherwise.

Nonetheless, this is a funny movie -- I did laugh and I was entertained. Just be warned, if you're easily offended, move on to a safer comedy. Its not for everyone.

I'll recommend this one with a Caution. You will be offended and maybe that's the point.
