As with any year in Hollywood, there were a lot more bad movies than there were good. If there was one particularly unusual trend in seriously awful movies this year, however, it was not only in how well they did at the box office, but level of cultural impact several of these movies had in 2009. It's one thing to be an awful movie that falls on its ass at the box office and vanishes from our collective consciousnesses -- see My Life in Ruins, Battle for Tera, The Collector, Whiteout, New in Town, Dance Flick, or The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard -- but the Golden Pajibas are more interested in heinous cinematic butt nuggets (or anal bon mots) that not only made an impact at the box office, but commanded a lot of attention. These are bad movies that blew up in our faces and took big bloody hunks...

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,...

Almost a month ago I had the opportunity of participating in a roundtable interview with writer Tucker Max and the film’s co-writer Nils Parker to discuss I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. Tucker Max if of course the man behind the bestselling book, a popular blog, and he also had a hand in the script. With that said, you’re probably already aware of his work. Here’s what Tucker and Nils had to say about their recently released film.
Considering you guys are doing this tour it seems as if you’re going for word-of-mouth as a big marketing push, is that the main intent of this tour?
Tucker Max: Well, the way I see it is that there’s no stronger or better marketing tool than word-of-mouth. We feel like we’ve made a great movie and all we have to do is get it...

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.

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.

When I put my hand into that of frat-boy messiah Tucker Max, he crushed my phalanges with a firm shake that can only performed by legendary mitts. Those hands have handled more alcoholic beverages and women than my mind can even begin to imagine. And while I do hope he washes his hands regularly, at least I can say I’ve grabbed the paws of a man who has f**ked a little person stripper.
That and other stories are shared in Tucker Max’s first co-written movie, I Hope They Serve Beer In Hell, a film adaptation of his New York Times Bestseller with the same title. In the movie, law student/college-party-icon is played by Matt Czuchry (you may recognize him from “Gilmore Girls.”)
But as much as Tucker Max may seem to be invincible to his many vices, he still had a lot of learning to do when it came to cinema.

A few days ago I had the opportunity to participate in a round-table interview with author Tucker Max, to discuss the upcoming film adaptation of his book, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. During this conversation I mentioned to Tucker that he seems to have
had a great experience with working on his first film and asked if he would consider working on more films. In his response, Tucker stated that there may actually be a few sequels to I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell.
“Of course, I mean we have sequels planned. If this thing does really well and if audiences love it then they’ll want more and we’ll do more. There’s no question in my mind that two will be better than one if we do a second one, because we have learned so much on this first process. As good as this is,...

Matt Czuchry, Jesse Bradford and Geoff Stults are raising their steins for "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell," the adaptation of the bawdy best-selling memoir of Tucker Max. Bob Gosse is directing.
Max rose to fame after launching TuckerMax.com in 2002, garnering millions of unique site visitors to read his short stories and a $300,000 advance for his alcohol-fueled memoir for Penguin Books.
The film, written by Max and Nils Parker, follows his trip to a friend's bachelor party, where he ensnares the groom in a lie that threatens the wedding, then abandons him to pursue further carnal knowledge. After being banned from the nuptials, Max attempts to get back into his friend's good graces.

Rounding out the cast are Keri Lynn Pratt (ABC's "Brothers & Sisters") and Denise Quinones ("The Bedford Diaries"). The film begins principal photography July 21 on location in Shreveport, La.
Darko Entertainment's Richard Kelly, Sean McKittrick and Ted Hamm along with Max and his partner Parker's Rudius Films. Max Wong and Karen Firestone of Pinkslip Pictures also will produce along with Aaron Ray of the Collective. Shaun Redick and Ray Mansfield of the Collective are executive producers.
Darko is financing "Beer in Hell," with the Collective handling the North American rights.
Czuchry ("Gilmore Girls") is repped by Gersh and the Collective.
Uta-repped Bradford recently completed Oliver Stone's "W" and next stars in horror thriller "The Echo." Bradford is also repped by Alchemy Entertainment.
