The script seemed as if one verbose asshole posed as each of the main characters, only differing the writing style just enough to get another tasteless perspective on the predictable plot. I had to break up 'I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell' with a Fred Williamson film to balance out the diluted-white-boy-wank.

"Underlit and generally shot with an eye toward unattractiveness, Beer in Hell also goes for ugliness in its dialogue." - Nick Schager

A very poor adaption of the book. I read the book and was very legitimately entertained. Tucker Max is actually very good at telling stories. He should not move onto screen plays. The movie was a mash-up of a multitude of stories from his book that don't work together and made it all fall apart. Pass on this one.

Admittedly I followed his stories from the late 90s, and this movie pales in comparison. The characters are as one sided as most people appear to be, and there are no clever asides to the audience to feign depth -it's autobiographical. A sexist, a misogynist, and an alcoholic Tucker's friends are just shadows of his own stellar dysfunction. But I have love for this consument drunkard, since his stories are about 80% true and only altered by rose tinted lenses.

I viewed it as a moderately realistic account from a person who has been a dickhead and repented after the fact. Nonetheless, better than the majority of "humour" that spews forth from Hollywood.

This is a pretentious film adapted from Max's written works. His 'biographical' protagonist leads a host of flat characters who pontificate at length with cringe inducing dialogue. There are moments of wit and insight, but the characters are inconsistent and incomplete. Bradford alone is charismatic, when he isn't hampered by atrocious writing. The ethos of the film's finale contradicts the rest of the film, and exemplifies the poor film making seen throughout.

The main character is completely unlikable and narcissistic-to-the-nth degree and succeeds in making a supposed raunchy romp quite unfunny.

Genuinely funny and well-paced, despite certain flaws. Very slightly better than "The Hangover".

This film is like a practical joke that only the person pulling it off finds funny, to everyone else it's annoying if not painful. Most of the characters are unlikeable and the couple that ARE likeable, are treated like crap by the others, making it more annoying.
