The Hungover Games (Unrated)

A

By my own admission, I've only seen the second Hunger Games (Catching Fire). I saw the movie, along with my son, when it released in November 2013. But I came away with some very definite opinions about the movie as well as the whole Hunger Games, and similar (such as the (ugh!) Divergent), franchises. To be truly succinct and stay on point, these kinds of movies are simply horrible.... and just to nip this thought in the bud, I'm not going to read the books -- that's my perogative (as well as a great time saver!). As far as the movie itself - plodding, preachy, predictable, almost no depth, but (surprise!!! surprise!!!) occasionally good acting -- an unappealing combination. There's nothing that would make me want to watch future (or past) movies of this (or any other young adult fiction) franchise.Spoofing Hunger Games by making a mash-up with the first Hangover was simply a great idea. At times a bit raunchy, the movie definitely brings out the laughs! Five stars for "The Hungover Games".

Admittedly low budget, but they really did great casting that resembled and acted like the original cast. Jamie Kennedy appeared as a producer (and actor in the movie) if I recall correctly, so there were lots of things like gratuitous T&A and humor that would appeal to the high school age crowds. All in all, it is worth watching for the great casting and imaginative supporting characters from a multitude of other movies...

I've never seen ratings so low for a movie and I had to see for myself what a train wreck this would be. I really liked it and I normally can't stand parody movies. This one seemed a little different from the others because there seemed to be a bit of a bite to it and it seemed like the writers didn't like the movies they were parodying. I think The Hunger Games is for stupids and The Hangover has zero appeal to me. I cannot for the life of me understand the appeal of Zack Galifianakis. The impersonations were really, really good. I especially liked the Johnny Depp mockery. And the Gratuitous Nudity girl who kept getting her breasticles tangled in netting was really funny. My one complaint is how they used that stupid expression, 'two in the pink, one in the stink.' It's a stupid saying and it's dead wrong, it should be one in the pink, two in the sink. You want the pink tight and the stink loose. Everyone knows that... It should go without saying that this movie is not for kids. Unless you want them to learn a valuable lesson about why you shouldn't get black out drunk-- you may be involved in a human centipede with a weird asian guy! If the idea of movie caricatures fighting each other with weaponized dildos makes you shake your head in disgust, this is not the movie for you.

As with any parody movie, don't go in expecting much of a plot.Definitively NOT for those who are easily offended at language, sexual innuendo, racial slurs or comments, sexual scenes, etc..If you are of that type.... STEER CLEAR OF THIS MOVIE, you will be left a torn up mess.If you have the ability to see the lighter things in life, and know that its all in good fun, and love to laugh till your stomach hurts... then this is for you.They make fun of every walk of life, every race, every form of sexual preference, be prepared...I warn you...

It was pretty much a waste of time. There was quite a bit of topless women nudity, but a lot of it was just plain stupid. If you want to lose a couple of hours of your life and feel dumber in the process, by all means watch it. I can see where they were doing spoofing on a lot of other movies, and was hoping it was at least as good of quality as the Scary Movie's films were, but it wasn't. Take any of the Scary Movie's and dumb them down by a factor of 10! That's how bad this one was.

thanks

You'd have to be someone that has seen many of the movies spoofed in this one. I've seen most of them and although the movie has it's moments that are funny, it's just WAY to close of a copy of Hunger Games and The Hangover. It really takes away from this movie because it makes it predictable. I would have given it one star, but because there were a few good jabs in the movie that made me laugh, I gave it two stars. Definitely glad I didn't buy the DVD in the store.
