Bottoms Up (2006)

That was an excellent one.

From my favorite movies..

Awesome Movie

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I can honestly say that it was the worst movie I've ever seen in my entire life. Watching Paris Hilton's "acting" was literally painful. The major problems were the bad acting, lack of plot, random flashes to cartoons, no character development, and terrible dialogue. First of all Paris Hilton has absolutely no acting talents whatsoever. It's like the lights are on but no one's home. She's off in space not even paying attention to what's going on. I can't say I really blame Jason Mewes for not doing a phenomenal acting job. Any one forced to act as if they felt a genuine affection towards Paris Hilton would clearly be asked to achieve a feat beyond the talents of anyone on the planet. The movie starts off to be about Jason Mewes trying to win money to save his dad's bar. He enters a bar tending flair competition, loses, and within the first 15 minutes the plot has completely shifted over to be a crappy written love story. This plot line is never mentioned again. For some strange reason there are random flashes where the movie switches over to cartoon. I suppose due to budget issues or whatever. I have to say that the somewhat amusing yet utterly retarded cartoon was Matt Davis throwing himself off a cliff while yelling "I'm a huge jack-ass!" I'm still not very sure as to what that had to do with the "plot", but it's always fun to see Matt Davis look like a douche bag. As for the character development, we're supposed to believe that Paris Hilton is viewed as a rich snotty party girl (as in real life), who actually is nice, kind, helpful towards the poor, and my favorite likes to read books. That's a laugh. Can you imagine Paris Hilton reading anything that doesn't spell C-O-C-K? The truth is there was absolutely no character development towards this idea that Paris Hilton was smart or caring. Think about it she has the personality of a brick, and she can only act as herself, you do the math. As for Jason Mewes character, he nearly gets run over by Paris, loses both his and his uncle's jobs due to her, and he still says "She seems nice." That doesn't add up. His character must possess some sort of ESP because he's able to magically sense the fact that she's a "nice girl" despite nearly getting run over and fired. The dialogue in this movie was dreadful. Some of the worst was that between Matt Davis and Uncle Earl. Their trash talking consisted of "Go back to the valley Quaker oats," and "Let's rock n' roll chumpenstein!" Other good lines were, "I'd rather be at home reading a book." I doubt that Paris Hilton could read a picture book, much less one with actual words. I could go on giving examples of terrible of dialogue, but with the examples I've given anything else would pale in comparison. On top of this the film contained poor cinematography, bad editing, and seemed to lack any real direction. I would definitely give this film one star, but only because zero is not a choice. I don't recommend this movie to ANYone unless perhaps I hated them and wanted to steal 89 minutes from their life.

I recently purchased this after collecting the whole View Askew back catalogue, mainly to see Jason Mewes in a non-Jay role. At first, during the animated credits and shortly after I was struggling as I felt the editing wasn't done well, I felt the rest of the film ran smoother though. As a fan of Jason Mewes and as someone who can't stand Paris Hilton I wasn't sure how it would fare. Jason's acting seemed wooden in parts but when with Paris especially seemed really believable in his role. Paris Hilton surprised me as she had already done with the trailer. I felt her performance was fine and she did a good job. The film itself was clearly on a low budget but I don't feel that had an affect on it (the look of the film could have been better) and if anything, by the end I wanted it to last a bit longer. It was a light movie to watch and I would watch it again, I don't regret this purchase. Also, side note all the other cast members were very good, and I found Kevin Smith looked really natural. David Keith helped with some of the scenes I felt Jason Mewes wasn't convincing me in too. All in all, not a bad watch.

Bottoms up it's a very poor movie, not very funny, not creative, and poorly acted mainly by Paris Hilton, this girl should stay as far away from acting as possible, the references to her life throughout the movie are way too obvious to be funny. All of the characters are undeveloped and the edition is very poor as some of the cuts last way longer than they should, however Jason Mewes and Brian Hallisay are pretty good. Mewes has a not "jaja funny" character and he he does it fine, Hallisay it's OK as a pretty boy/stoner actor. Hopefully we'll be seeing them in other flicks, this one wont kill their careers cuz nobody saw it.Ill recommend it only if you're a huge fan of the actors or if you're at your house all alone, with anything to do but stare at the your wall wondering why no one likes you.

Two deciding factors made me want to rent this movie. Paris Hilton is in it and Jason Mewes is in it. Was I disappointed? Not entirely. However, I did have to come to the realization (and rather quickly) that Jason's character in this movie was nowhere near what we see him portray as "Jay" in the Kevin Smith flicks. Once I got over that, I decided to concentrate on the plot of the film.....and Paris Hilton. Overall, the punchlines were lacking and the story line was way too predictable. All in all, it wasn't a bad movie, but it wasn't that good either. Would I watch it again? Perhaps. Would I watch it a third time? Probably not.
