The Hungover Games

If you like hyper-fake-machismo, watch this. If you like drunkards and their destructive misbehavior, watch this. If you want to have a look at what supposed guys, straight and white, in fraternities do instead of higher education academic work, watch this.

Oh for certain, for a great shot of what's wrong with males in the US, watch this. Want to know where your money goes into Pell Grants? If you're getting solid scholarship for your bucks, look no further than this flop of a film.

In a world where an entire generation of young people are unable to identify a spoof movie that isn't crap. It is 2014 humans lived with Scary Movie 2 being the last time a decent spoof hit the silver screen. Many have tried. More have failed.

One production company stood up. One group of weird people said enough. There have been too many hammy, crappy, unfunny spoofs feeding on the scraps of potheads with a Netflix account. It was time change came to

That film was "The Hungover Games" and it is a damn good effort to put an end to a decade of utterly unwatchable spoofs. Characters convincingly lifted from other films, to be exaggerated, not imitated. Special effects made by professionals exceeding their limitations, and a teddy bear tea-bagging an escaped slave.

This film is non-stop laughter. I was expecting to give up after 5 minutes, but I gave it a chance and regret nothing. This is a brilliant addition to the spoof genre and I hope to see more like it in future.

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.

Not a strong parody movie. Some of the jokes are just awful and it's a little sad to see some name/recognisable actors in this.

Zach (Alan) was reasonably funny and I saw flashes of Ed (Stu) and Bradley (Phil) but there was barely enough in here to elicit a chuckle.

Bonus points for Katnip's breasts.

"The Hungover Games" is one of those type of spoofs that mean well and tries really hard, but ultimately fail to deliver. Now, I am not saying that the movie is bad, it just really wasn't as funny as it was supposed to be. I can honestly say that I didn't laugh a single time throughout the entire movie.

For a movie of this type, then "The Hungover Games" takes on a variety of other movies, such as "Ted", "The Hunger Games" (obviously), "Pirates of the Caribean", "Avatar", "The Hangover", "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "The Human Centipede", "The Lone Ranger", and so forth. It is meant well, I am sure of it, but the comedy just slipped through every crack possible.

The acting in the movie was adequate, and people were doing fair jobs with their given roles, they just didn't have too much of a script to work with.

I used to love spoofs, such as "Hot Shots", "Scary Movie" and the like. Whether it is because I outgrew the genre, or because the spoof movies today are lacking what they did back in the 1990's, I do not know.

"The Hungover Games" is good enough entertainment if you have absolutely nothing else to watch.
