I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell (2009)

I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell is a 2009 American comedy film loosely based on the work and persona of writer Tucker Max, who co-wrote the screenplay. In an interview with Shave Magazine Max explained that the film is not "a direct recount or retelling. It says it is based on true events because it is. Basically, every scene in the movie happened in real life in one way or another but it happened in a different time or time frame. But pretty much every single thing happened." The film was directed by Bob Gosse and stars Matt Czuchry as Max. It was produced by Darko Entertainment and distributed by Freestyle Releasing, and is rated R for nudity, strong sexual content including graphic dialogue throughout, language and some crude material. Max had said previously that sequels were possible if the initial film found financial success. The film was released in theaters on September 25, 2009. The DVD was released on January 26, 2010.

The film's plot is loosely adapted from "The Austin Road Trip Story" in Max's book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell. Based on Max's supposed real-life experiences, the film follows Max and his friends Drew and Dan to a strip club for Dan's bachelor party, where he ensnares Dan in a lie that threatens his wedding. The ensuing events which include Drew hooking up with a dancer and single mother, and Max hooking up with a midget stripper, lead to Max abandoning Dan who lands in jail for being drunk and disorderly. After the guys return from their misadventures, it results in Max being banned from the nuptials. Max then attempts to earn Dan's forgiveness.
