Best Night Ever (2013)

Stick with it, and you will find there is a lot of fun to be had. Once they loosen up so does the story.

[7/10 · 9 April 2014]

Yes right off the bat you will compare this to The Hangover, and that is a totally fair comparison, but this movie is not just a rip off of that franchise (even if they hit every mark, and miss not a single Hangover style joke, or action). This really is something just a bit far enough left of the Hangover movies to be considered different, and almost unique. This is much closer to Bridesmaids than Hangover, but that still doesn't give it it's fare due. These girls in Women's bodies go all out on a one night no holds bared bucket list style adventure that starts out like a terrible found footage movie that looks to be going nowhere at all. After a very slow start through things just explode with more intensity the further down the hole these girls travel, while all the while a bond is forming that you can feel that is the real good glue that makes this movie work. I was so close to just giving up on this movie in the first 10 minutes, and even up to the point where they encounter the Valet the acting felt very forced, and the jokes seemed mean, and the chemistry of the players just didn't feel real. However from this point on after the girls were suddenly left with nothing (but a magic camera that takes shots from all angles, and edits itself) but themselves to rely on, and no one to call for help, and yet they are still out to make this night something special, and it was from this point that I really did Enjoy the rest of this movie, and can recommend it to grown up type folks, there are some very adult scenes, as well as some very childish scenes that will take you by surprise. I say give it a chance, and stick with it through the slow start, then don't miss the bonus drive through scene at the end of the credits it is a good little piece of improv.
