The Brightside? Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have made another movie and it is NOT a poorly executed parody. The Darkside? Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have made another movie.
"Best Night Ever," even though it's not the atrocities that are suppose to pass for parodies and satire, is still a terrible example of bad filmmaking and even worse storytelling from two of the most mystifying men in Hollywood. The mystery? Why exactly they get work and are allowed to write and direct films. The bigger mystery? Why do some people enjoy them? There's barely a story going on in "Best Night Ever" and it barely is enough to warrant the razor-thin plot the movie tries to have. The film is just a haphazard collection of girls going from one party moment to the next and, more often than not, they are presented in montage form to sound alike club hits because the production couldn't afford the actual songs you hear on the radio. But don't worry because all the bad attempts at being funny and the predictable failure at said attempts are here and keeping Friedberg and Seltzer's reputation of being completely devoid of what it takes to write a decent joke intact. In fact, this film is so groan-inducing and terrible at its attempts to be funny that I started to question whether or not the intention was to be a comedy to begin with and not just some random art film filled with one-dimensional characters, random partying imagery and complete nonsense. However, then the next scene involves stealing jokes from other, better films and I realize that Friedberg and Seltzer are just terrible writers.
"Best Night Ever" has no redeeming factors and is barely worth the time to watch it—even if you are putting it on in the background while your vacuuming or doing something that is a better use of your time than watching a Friedberg/Seltzer film. There's no point in beating around the bush or getting cute here: "Best Night Ever" is terrible.
Hello there, good looking! Wanna read a more in-depth review of "Best Night Ever" or experience other, better movie reviews, geeky rants, mad ramblings and bad jokes (but not Friedberg/Seltzer bad)? Then you can head on over to my blog; revronmovies.blogspot.com. Or, if you don't care or hate me for no reason, then you probably shouldn't go to my blog.
