Synopsis

Each year, drunk people are selected to participate in torturous games the morning after a big night out. There's no sunglasses, no water, and no headache medicine. "The Hungover Games," a film that manages to merge the premises of both "The Hunger Games" and "The Hangover" and throw in references to "Ted," "Django Unchained," "The Lord of the Rings," "Carrie," "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" and whatever else crossed the writers' fevered brains during the probably very drunken "development process."

aech-02177 Yes, there are "parody" movies much worse than anything the Seltzerberg team has done. Hell, Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer wish they could sink this low. I hesitate to call these parody movies, as it is more fitting to call them a cluster of gratuitous dick jokes, random references to much better movies, and gags with every bodily function known to man. Because who needs jokes when you've got a bunch of sex toys at your disposal? I long for the days of Mel Brooks and the Zucker Brothers to come back. From Josh Stolberg, the writer of Piranha 3D and the god-awful romantic comedy Good Luck Chuck, the Hungover Games starts off with the basic template of The Hangover, the dudes wake up on a train, go to compete in the Hunger Games with characters from movies that were popular at the time and it's all downhill from there. Oddly enough, the main four guts were pretty good. I mean, as unfunny and forgettable their lines are, they were the only good actors in the entire movie. Everyone else knew this movie was garbage and wanted to get their paycheck as quickly as possible. This honestly begs the questions, what did Jamie Kennedy, Tara Reid (a couple of semi-decent actors), classic Hollywood actor Robert Wagner, Caitlyn Jenner (formerly known as Bruce Jenner) and Sophie Dee (my favorite porn star) see in this movie? Did they all really think a movie where an obnoxious teddy bear teabags a black dude would advance their careers? Even a terrible movie like the Starving Games made laugh at least once. It had one good joke and that was it. With this movie, I didn't laugh at all. How on earth does The Hungover Games have 3.7 stars on IMDB? If you guys can't see what's wrong with these awful movies and their empty, pandering, bottom of the barrel nature, then you're as stupid as these unfunny and untalented filmmakers think you are. The Hungover Games is another unfunny, unpleasant and disgusting movie and not even Sophie Dee's boobs could save it. Think about that.
Andrew Gold This movie is dumb. Just look at the name. Yeah, I know it's not supposed to be smart but it is supposed to be funny, and unfortunately this is not. I will say that it is better than abominations like The Starving Games, Vampires Suck, Scary Movie 5 and Disaster Movie, but that's like saying dog p*ss is better than cat sh*t. They're both awful and both leave a bad taste in your mouth. This movie gets an extra point for potential. It's refreshing to see a spoof movie that isn't by the two that shall not be named, and some ideas in the movie do work. There's a plot this time: We follow the three Hangover guys (who bare a striking resemblance to their respective actors) on their Hunger Games adventure. I also like how the spoofs are limited to a certain character or group participating in "The Hungover Games", such as The Real House Wives, Ted, Thor, and a group of every Johnny Depp character of the past few years. Some of them are funny - I really wanted more of the Johnny Depps - but some just don't work. A team for gratuitous sex? I know it's making fun of the fact that a lot of movies have gratuitous sex for the sake of it but that's exactly what it's doing here, so it's like a spoof that's spoofing itself... and it's not nearly as deep as it sounds. I smiled a few times in this movie. The main cast was fine (the supporting cast had some horrendous actors though), and I like how the movie actually has a story and an attempt at coherency. But the number one thing I look for in a comedy are laughs, and The Hungover Games did not provide any. If you're smashed and with your friends and want to see a really dumb movie for some cheap laughs for an hour and a half then yeah you might enjoy The Hungover Games, but for anyone else, I implore you, don't watch this movie.
thespeeddiledilemma A spoof movie doesn't have to do much to get it right so the fact it failed in every way is kind of an accomplishment. Scary Movie 2 and 3 and Epic Movie had me in fits so I don't think you can argue that I just don't like spoof movies but this one... It was lame. A spoof film doesn't have to be tasteful or clever. It doesn't need good acting. It doesn't even have to make sense, it just has to be funny. But this is just boring. It felt like everything that COULD have been funny just ended up being stupid in- your-face nudity. Relying on dildos, curse words, pee, poo and breasts to make a scene funny just seems lazy. A lot of people are going "But dude, it has BOOBS in it!" Guys...if you think boobs make a movie good, you need to find a way around your parents' Safe Search.I'd rather go watch Sex in the City. And I HATE Sex in the City.
Jesse Boland There has not been a good parody movie in quite a few years, the scary movies are about all we have left, and they have just gotten strange. So here we have the second The Hunger Games parody, in less than 6 months, and you could only be wondering one thing. Yes it is funny. Not rolling around on your back, or tears streaking your cheeks funny, but this is a good parody. There are a lot of exceptional cameos, and the main cast of Hangover guys are all better than you would expect. I liked the touch of having the character names in this movie be the names of the actors, it added that extra layer of unreality. There are terrible jokes in here, and lots of terrible acting to go along with those jokes, but and I'm no fan of Jamie Kennedy he was one hard working producer in this. I really did Enjoy this movie, and was totally surprised that I did. From the start though you can feel that this is a bit better than most of the crap they have been doling out for the past few years, and only barely, but because of that I do recommend this to most people. There is a whole district dedicated to gratuitous nudity, so you can expect some of that, and lots of very simulated violence, but the language is really quite tame. If you love it, or hate it though, stay to the end, the party snaps in the credits are beyond explanation, and after the credits is the biggest laugh of the movie, don't miss it.
