Very Cool!!!

The greatest movie ever made..!

Best movie ever!

True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

I have absolutely no idea where to begin with reviewing this movie. Not because it's so terrible than I am floundered; rather, there are multiple layers and things worth talking about. For a start, Kevin Smith has a significant cameo in this. He really proves his ability to act pretty well. Perhaps he should stop making bad movies and get into acting! Bottoms Up will never achieve the acclaim of even the worst of Kevin Smith's movies - and that is absurd to me. The worst of Kevin Smith's movies are utterly dreadful. It is absurd that he is still riding on the success of his early couple of smashes. Even though this was a low-key movie, it seems nonsensical to me that he would risk his career and inflated acclaim on a flop. Evidently he is impervious to critical flops.Jason Mewes' performance is a little weak and he is unable to cease his stoner drawl. But his character I don't think is explicitly "a stoner" per se (I think he takes one bong hit in the movie and puffs on a blunt). If he was meant to be then it doesn't add anything to the story. He comes from a friendship group of wasters - including Kevin Smith's character - but he is a bartender with talent and ambition. He is therefore the hero who seeks his fortune in LA and eventually succeeds in his goal.Like the later Paris Hilton vehicle, The Hottie and the Nottie, this was grossly poorly received. I think that both are essentially okay. That's right, Bottoms Up is pretty alright - especially for a straight-to-DVD movie. Certainly not terrible. Paris' delivery and acting is underdeveloped here, but it is just as "fun" a movie, if not more so. It's certainly the more glamorous, if you're into the allure of wild LA parties, high society and Hollywood hotties.Paris Hilton's acting may have been better in The Hottie and the Nottie, but that also had a more predictable and formulaic story. I think on balance they're both more-or-less as good as each other. Though Bottoms Up is more fun, interesting and amusing I think.

The only reason I viewed this film is because I find Paris Hilton a very attractive sexy actress with fantastic lips. The story deals with a young man named Owen Peadman, (Jason Mewes) who is an outstanding bartender in Minnesota and works in his father's bar. However, his father needs money to keep the bar open and so Owen heads to Hollywood in order to win a bartender contest. Owen has an Uncle Earl, (David Keith) who shows Owen all the people he has to get to know as well as all the hot spots where most of the actors hang out. Uncle Earl is gay and he hides it from Owen until he has no choice but to let his secret out. There is plenty of nudity and real foul language and there is not very much of a story. Paris Hilton played the role as Lisa Mancini and became quite interested in Owen after she looked down her nose at him. If you like Paris Hilton, you will see her in dark hair, but still very very attractive.

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.

OK, So here is the deal this is certainly not Preston Sturges, but there truly are worse films out there than this. I mean I can't really live in a world where The Passion of the Christ is not on a list of worst films, or where Larry The Cable Guy goes middle of the pack on this list, which reminds me, I'm hoping enough people see The Hamster Cage, because its incredibly bad, let try and get that film on here for the ages.Here's hoping films other than a low brow , indie comedy can while being bad can give way to true stinkers. An yes The Hamster Cage was also a low budget indie, but compared to Bottoms Up , The Hamster Cage is auspisciously bad, and takes itself a lot more seriously.
