Best Night Ever (2013) Reviews

• Nope, don't go see this one

  From the makers of Disaster Movie and the likes comes a new low. The story is a failed rip-off from The Hangover where 4 women: the rich neat sister, the weird one, the loose one and the one about to be married head to Las Vegas for a bachelorette party, their booking went all wrong so they just go out to get as drunk as they possibly can. What follows are seemingly random scenes akin to the stories my wannabe hip uncle tells at birthdays. Still, if everything else was great it could have been saved. Unfortunately this isn't the case. The acting ranges from bad to mediocre. The editing only makes it worse, where sometimes people respond 2 seconds too late to shocking news. And the camera is horrible, they went for the handy-cam way of shooting the movie which makes for crappy quality and constantly gives you the feeling that you're watching some embarrassing home video that didn't quite make it to the funniest home videos show. If after all of this you still want to see it, watch the trailer instead as anything remotely funny or worthwhile is in the trailer.

  Found footage has its claws everywhere by now. Even with this comedy, about a group of girls trying to party and celebrate the night before one of them is going to get married. Fittingly (if you want to see it in a positive light) the German title of the movie became "Hangover Girls" (with "added" 3D effects for some odd reason too). Not every joke is hitting the spot (if you'll excuse the pun), but it has some nice drive to it or maybe its the charm of a B-movie that surrounds it. I thought it did well to hide the fact that it didn't have enough money, by making things appear as story elements (we can't go there, because ... something or other). Of course this can be seen as cheap too (which it literally is), but I'm not holding that against it. I've seen worse but obviously also better movies ...

• if you watch comedy, you wont recognize this POS

  Wow...I've never seen a movie that tries so hard to be funny yet misses every single time. At no point did I laugh, smile, grin, or chuckle. Even worse, it wasn't even the kind of crappy movie that you can laugh at how crappy it is. The funniest part of the last hour and 40 minutes of my life is when I read a reviewer say its a "female hangover with a few more laughs". In order to find this film in any way funny you have to be on whatever drug that aforementioned reviewer was on...my guess is laughing gas, and lots of it. I have literally found two separate funerals I have attended in my lifetime funnier than this movie...FUNERALS!!! (Long story on the funerals)

• Absolute rubbish

  Worst. Movie. Ever. I had high hopes from the trailer but what I found was a pathetic mix up of Hangover, Bridesmaids, and Springbreakers. The acting was awful, the supposed 'handy cam' viewpoint annoying and unrealistic. I only kept watching it out of a dark fascination of how far could their train wreck go. Blood, defecation, sex toys, gratuitous violence, it goes far in all aspects and in extreme bad taste. Nothing humorous at all in this movie unless perhaps you're really into toilet humor. And throughout all the mishaps the girls remained make up and hair perfect with nary a streak of dirt on their clothing. It's completely ridiculous. Save a couple hours of your life that you won't get back and avoid this movie.

• Friedberg and Seltzer continue their unfunny streak...

  The Brightside? Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have made another movie and it is NOT a poorly executed parody. The Darkside? Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have made another movie. "Best Night Ever," even though it's not the atrocities that are suppose to pass for parodies and satire, is still a terrible example of bad filmmaking and even worse storytelling from two of the most mystifying men in Hollywood. The mystery? Why exactly they get work and are allowed to write and direct films. The bigger mystery? Why do some people enjoy them? There's barely a story going on in "Best Night Ever" and it barely is enough to warrant the razor-thin plot the movie tries to have. The film is just a haphazard collection of girls going from one party moment to the next and, more often than not, they are presented in montage form to sound alike club hits because the production couldn't afford the actual songs you hear on the radio. But don't worry because all the bad attempts at being funny and the predictable failure at said attempts are here and keeping Friedberg and Seltzer's reputation of being completely devoid of what it takes to write a decent joke intact. In fact, this film is so groan-inducing and terrible at its attempts to be funny that I started to question whether or not the intention was to be a comedy to begin with and not just some random art film filled with one-dimensional characters, random partying imagery and complete nonsense. However, then the next scene involves stealing jokes from other, better films and I realize that Friedberg and Seltzer are just terrible writers. "Best Night Ever" has no redeeming factors and is barely worth the time to watch it—even if you are putting it on in the background while your vacuuming or doing something that is a better use of your time than watching a Friedberg/Seltzer film. There's no point in beating around the bush or getting cute here: "Best Night Ever" is terrible. Hello there, good looking! Wanna read a more in-depth review of "Best Night Ever" or experience other, better movie reviews, geeky rants, mad ramblings and bad jokes (but not Friedberg/Seltzer bad)? Then you can head on over to my blog; revronmovies.blogspot.com. Or, if you don't care or hate me for no reason, then you probably shouldn't go to my blog.
