Bottoms Up (2006 Video)
6/10
Not bad - if a little underdeveloped
5 September 2006
I have just finished watching this movie and thought i'd share my views with IMDb.

First of all, it's not an amazing movie. I can see why it went direct to DVD but it's not all that bad.

So what do you all want to know? Hilton of course! She's not that bad. She's one of the better actors in the piece in actual fact. She plays her part the way it should be played (Although considering she plays a millionaire heiress dating the hottest teen heart throb in Hollywood - she couldn't mess up too badly). I have no doubt that most of the reviews will just bash Paris & her performance (because even if she put in something Oscar worthy - people would hate it because they have an infatuation hating her no matter what she does).

The story revolves around a young guy from a Mid-Western town going to Hollywood to win a bar competition in order to collect the $10,000 prize money to save his fathers steak house. The real problem in this film is Mewes. If Mewes' acting was described as wooden then Nicole Richie would be described as a skinny. He is TERRIBLE! The amount of times he looks into the camera is ridiculous and most of the time he seems a little stoned.

David Keith is brilliant as Gay Uncle Earl - offering hilarity and nailing his part to perfection, Jon Abrahams character is extremely under developed but you still get the gist of what an ass he is, Brian Hallisay's turn as the heart throb isn't half bad but again his character seems under developed.

One thing about the movie that does grate on you is the foul language. For the first 15 minutes it's OK and quite funny but after that the "fuck" and "cock" into every sentence is annoying! Overall - Not bad, if a little underdeveloped with good turns from Keith & Hilton and bad turns from Mewes.

6/10.
