Three friends are in a cheap motel celebrating the bachelor party of their friend when they discover they’ve been kidnapped and taken to a remote area to participate in the annual Hungover Games. Fighting against the other teams which represent different pop culture icons, the friends must kill or be killed in this mash-up of, obviously, “The Hunger Games” and “The Hangover”.
For those of you who know me, I’m a sucker for these parody movies of other famous movies. I’ve mentioned it before, but my two favorite magazine subscriptions were Mad, and National Lampoon. I sat through all the Scary Movie movies, and saw all the Leslie Neilsen and Charlie Sheen movies I could get my hands on. This one was really funny. Focusing primarily on the two movies mashed in the title, they still brought in lots and lots of pop culture bits, mostly from the teams that they’re fighting against. They’re all here, including some like the Puppets (led by Ted), The Real Housewives of Disrict 8, The Johnny Depps, and the Horror Movie Icons, and so on. The humor is naughty, of course, and the jokes are one after another after another. They manage to take a shot at everyone all the way through. It’s very cleverly done with some great touches. For example, all the guys from the bachelor party’s character names are the real names of the real actors of the Hangover. They also kinda look like them, so it makes it even funnier. I really rolled watching this film, and I thought it was really funny. If you enjoy these parody movies, this is one of the best I’ve seen. I just can’t get enough of these it seems.
