The Hungover Games

This will probably be the worst movie I have had the misfortune to watch but thankfully it only took me 30 minutes to gather my senses and switch it off. At no level was this funny or interesting and the actors must be biting their bottom lips by agreeing to take part in such an awful production. 1/10 stars is generous and I find the high scores laughable and wondering if it might have been a better watch with my eyes closed. BIG miss if you can tempt your way to something remotely watchable.

I can enjoy parody movies, even had a laugh or two at Movie 42 and Disaster Movie. This is not one of those. There is not even a 'slight chuckle'. Take a pass

There is only one reason I watched "The Hungover Games"....it just appeared on IMDB's infamous Bottom 100 List today. This is a list of the 100 lowest rated major release films....and I am a major glutton for punishment, as I've seen 95 of the 100 movies on the list. It's not at all surprising that "The Hungover Games" is on the Bottom 100. After all, MANY similar brainless spoofs are on the list, such as "Disaster Movie", "Epic Movie", "Date Movie" and "The Starving Games"--and they are more or less the same. This is NOT a compliment. Each tends to have a lot of very crude and juvenile humor and they are anything but subtle or intellectual...or entertaining. And, like these other films, the mashups simply make no sense...such as merging "The Hangover" with "The Hunger Games", "Lord of the Rings", "Avatar" and "Snowpiercer". The film abounds with sex toys, crude humor that falls flat and...well,...that's about it. The biggest problem with this film and other similar stupid parodies is that they are way too broad. First, they are very broadly written--with little subtlety and with an emphasis on crude instear of being funny. Second, they are too broad in their focus and would be MUCH better sticking with ONE film or one style of film instead of parodying EVERYTHING...which is often illogical and frequently mindless. So is this one any better than the rest of these Bottom 100 parodies? Well, there is a lot of gratuitous nudity. This isn't necessarily good....but at least it distracts from the 'humor'. In fact ANYTHING that tries to distract from the dopey jokes is a major plus. Heck, having Pauley Shore come out and juggle or read from the Yellow Pages would be a welcome distraction from the 'humor'! In fact, as I watched "The Hungover Games", I cannot recall laughing even once and it's no funnier than the other unfunny parodies on the Bottom 100. A worthless film in pretty much every way that was probably written by chipmunks...really, really DUMB chipmunks.

They really tried hard in this movie to create a spoof as close to the hunger games as possible. Some unexpected surprises are found, but that's to be expected from spoofs. I chuckled a few times, although the execution of some of the ideas in this movie just wasn't flawless (I overlooked that and rather tried to enjoy the gags) The theme of being hung over didn't stick because through most of the movie, the lead actors acted... sober. The movie is also not recommended for children as there are plenty of * scenes, adult toys, drugs, alcohol, under-age relationships forming (though also ending, thank heavens) and plenty of cursing and harassment. This movie is perfect for young and immature adults (like me)
