I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell

When the writer of a film stands in front of a packed house at the advance promotional screening of a movie and asks members of the audience to tell the crowd their wildest, most shocking romantically intimate moments, you know you are in for something different. Such is the case with I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell, the new comedy from writer Tucker Max, whose book of the same name has been extremely popular with college students and young adults across the country. The book is a compilation of outrageous stories from Tucker chronicling drunken escapades and rendezvous’ with strippers and women of all walks of life. To make a big screen adaptation, several stories were used and strung together with a unifying plot. In the movie, Matt Czuchry plays the arrogant, rude, crude and overly self confident Tucker Max, who finds much fun in harassing young women, only to later win them over and have his way with them in bed.

His latest conquest was a hearing impaired girl. His dream; a little person. Tucker rounds up his two buddies, Drew (Jesse Bradford) and Dan (Geoff Stults) to accompany him on a road trip to what is supposedly one of the best strip clubs in America. Reluctantly, Drew (just getting over a break-up) and Dan (just days away from getting married) join him on what turns out to be a road trip from hell. As the opening scene reminds audiences, I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is “based on a true story… unfortunately.” Tucker’s college escapades while in law school forced him to drop out early on, although he returned to finish at a later time. Jobs were not easy to hold down. An internship at a law firm while in school which Tucker claims, “…was supposed to be cake, and you can’t get fired,” lasted only three weeks before he was let go.

Working for his dad wasn’t easily done either. “I got fired from the family business by my own father,” joked Max at the screening in Tempe. I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is quite hilarious at times, with numerous one-liners and visual gags to keep you entertained. You’ll find yourself sharing these jokes with friends after the movie. There is an air of arrogance and self-indulgence evident in the movie which plays off Tucker’s own personality. Whether that helps or hurts the film is up for debate.
