Goofs

At around the 80 minutes mark with Haden in the hot tub and Jason Mewes character conversing with him there are multiple continuity errors. Haden is alternately leaning against the wall on the close in shots and then not on the zoomed out shot. Also, the items behind Haden vary between a glass and two rolled joints then to just a glass, and finally just the two joints.

User Reviews

Not the best movie but....

Bottoms up it's a very poor movie, not very funny, not creative, and poorly acted mainly by Paris Hilton, this girl should stay as far away from acting as possible, the references to her life throughout the movie are way too obvious to be funny. All of the characters are undeveloped and the edition is very poor as some of the cuts last way longer than they should, however Jason Mewes and Brian Hallisay are pretty good. Mewes has a not "jaja funny" character and he he does it fine, Hallisay it's OK as a pretty boy/stoner actor. Hopefully we'll be seeing them in other flicks, this one wont kill their careers cuz nobody saw it.

Ill recommend it only if you're a huge fan of the actors or if you're at your house all alone, with anything to do but stare at the your wall wondering why no one likes you.
