Based on the book by Tucker Max, "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell," depicts the real- life events of three law students and the crazy mess-ups they get themselves into.
The film was moderately funny compared to the high expectations that many reviewers had for it. Critics said that it was going to be the next "Hangover," but with a younger cast, unfortunately it was not quite up to par. "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell" tells the outrageous, shocking and amusing night, three friends lived through.
The spontaneous bachelor party, that had gone horribly wrong thanks to a series of unfortunate and unplanned events; including bar fights, a run in with a bachelorette party and an unexpected dancer.
A determined and charming novelty seeker, Tucker, played by Matt Czuchry, and tricks his best friend Dan, played by Geoff Stults, into an unorthodox night. They end up lying to Dan's fiancée Kristy, played by Keri Lynn Pratt, so they can go to a famous club, three hours away.
Along the way, Tucker pressures their antisocial friend Drew, played by Jesse Bradford, to come along for the ride. Before they know it Tucker's chase of a specific and outrageous interest- lands Dan in jail and in serious trouble with both the law and his future wife.
After the crazy night Tucker shows his true colors and ends up uninvited to Dan's wedding and ankle deep in a mess of his own creation-literally. If Tucker wants his invite back to the wedding and the lives of his best friends, he'll have to find a way to balance his friendships along with his own selfishness and narcissism.
All three friends take something away from that night-Dan had an excessively destructive public intoxication arrest, Drew got over his ex- girlfriend and Tucker fulfilled his unwavering ego.
"I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell," had some funny moments, but raunchy and graphic scenes overshadowed these parts. While the understated and antisocial friend facilitated most of the comedic scenes, Drew; otherwise this would have been an overly graphic film with little to no comedic release.
While in comparison, "The Hangover" had a stronger and more experience comedic cast. The young, wild and crude cast of "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell," showed a lack of comedic familiarity that a expert comedian has.
"I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell," is definitely not a date movie or a movie to see in the theatres. Personally, I would wait until it comes out on DVD. The movie had potential, and I wouldn't say it's a waste to see-just not worth paying $7 to 10.

I COMPLETELY agree with this review! The short run in the theater for this film was due to its poor attempt at comedy. It replaced true comedic appeal with crude anticts.
