Even Jason Mews can't save this movie. Paris Hilton plays a fictional version of herself in this movie, Jason Mews plays a bartender who heads out to California to enter a bartender competition so he can win the money to save his dad's steakhouse from being closed. But while out there, he meets Lisa (played by Hilton) and gets involved in the Hollywood celebrity scene. The plot just felt recycled, and the acting was horrible especially by Hilton herself. The movie doesn't serve justice to Jason Mews nor any of the actors forced to act in this "movie" and let's face it, this movie is such a joke.

Erik MacArthur's Bottoms Up is not a great film. It may not even be a terribly good film. The story is one of Hollywood revenge. Jason Mewes plays Owen Peadman a Minnesotan bartender who goes to Hollywood to compete in the King of the Bar contest in order to win enough money to keep his father's Steakhouse open. While in Hollywood he is forced to stay at the home of hos blatently [...] Uncle Earl (David Keith).

Owen meets and falls in love with the daughter of studio executive A.J. Mancini (Tim Thomerson) played by Paris Hilton. We can say with some certainty that acting was never her strong suit. Hilton is dating current heartthrob Hayden Field (Brian Hallisay) who has a secret that if exposed would doom his new film and career.

The film tries to parody the shallowness of Hollywood life but falls far short. The script and editing are a mess and on the whole the film looks like the low budget production it is.

Thankfully the disc has no real extras other than some trailers. This is one for fans of Hilton only.

I dont get it!! I love Paris Hilton but this movie is horrible!!! I bought it and I thought this movie would be good but it's not!! Anyone out there that never see this movie PLEASE do not buy this movie!! This movie is non-sense, terrible, horrible and it's dumb!!! Not worth buying this movie EVER!!!

Plan 9 was better than this. I watched it cause I'm a Paris fan... the dark hair just looked wrong... and Jason Mewes cracks me up... but... he was terrible. Glad he appears clean during filming, but... playing the romantic lead, not his thing. Poopy Trip!

I am going for a record folks. This is my third Paris Hilton Movie (1 Night in Paris, House of Wax). Is that a sign of suicidal tendency or have I lost it completely?

Jason Mewes is Goober, a bartender (slack job in this case) with slacker buddies (one is Kevin Smith), who goes to Hollywood to get money to save pops restaurant. he stays with his gay uncle (David Keith), who is pretending to be straight. This is the only character in the movie worth watching as he is hilarious pretending to be straight when he is the very definition of flaming queen.

Goober wants to be cool, so he wrangles his way into Lisa Mancini's (Paris Hilton) current boyfriend's (Brian Hallisay) entourage. This is the biggest collection of idiots I have ever seen. As Uncle Earl says, where is Charles Manson when you need him. But there was some real juicy tatas at the parties! Paris Hilton as Lisa actually comes off as a really nice girl deep down (BWAAAAA HAAAA HAAA)) and ole Goober falls in love until she sticks it to him again. And, no, he doesn't get to stick it to her first.

Oh, heck, there were some funny parts, so I will bump up the score. Tatas: 1, funny parts (including Uncle Earl): 1 for a total of 2.

This movie is pretty bad, although it's not bad enough to deserve a one star rating. And it's not bad just because Paris Hilton is in it. Sure, she couldn't act if her life depended on it, but the biggest problem is the weak script. It's only occasionally funny, but most of the jokes fall flat. It also seems to try to be part serious drama, but this only makes it slower and even less funny. "Bottoms Up" is not good enough to recommend. And what's with all the blatant product placement for Golden Palace online casino?

I can hardly believe it myself, but I've now seen three - three! - Paris Hilton movies. I fear I'm actually beginning to find her attractive, which is a pretty frightening thought. The woman can't act a lick, though. I didn't think she was all that bad in House of Wax, but Bottoms Up might as well have been titled Thumbs Down. As far as I can tell, both Paris and Jason Mewes are distinguished graduates of the Hayden Christensen School of Acting, and they decided to have a full-fledged act-off to prove, once and for all, which of them is the least talented actor/actress in the universe. Unfortunately, it's impossible to determine a winner because they're equally bad. Jason Mewes and Kevin Smith may be pretty entertaining when they're together, but Mewes is just helpless when he's on his own (Kevin Smith is in this movie, but it's only a small role, and he and Mewes are only together for a minute or two).

Mewes plays Owen, a Minnesota boy who goes to Hollywood to compete in a big bartender's contest, hoping to use the prize money to save his dad's steakhouse. Since he's basically broke, he stays with his outrageously-gay-but-pretending-to-be-straight uncle Earl (David Keith, the only cast member who put any effort at all into his role). Earl works for a tabloid news show - until, that is, the uber-famous Lisa Mancini (Paris Hilton) gets him fired. That's when Earl and Owen vow revenge on Lisa, her hunk-of-the-month boyfriend Hayden Field (Brian Hallisey), and their whole hoity-toity crowd. A little dishonesty goes a long way, gaining Owen access to Hollywood's in crowd. As he gets to know them, however, he begins to see that their images don't necessarily reflect their true selves. Could it be that the fantabulous Lisa Mancini isn't truly a party girl, and that there's actually a human being in there somewhere? Who knows? Who cares? With its terribly weak script and consistently bad acting, any point this movie even tries to make is moot at best.

I'm giving the film two stars because I did enjoy seeing a couple of annoying characters get what they deserve in the end, and David Keith's way-over-the-top performance can be pretty entertaining. There's Keith going all out for his role, while everyone else just sleepwalks through the entire movie. DK, this second star's for you, buddy.

I liked this movie and paris also. But it could have been alittle bit better. It had a slow start but in the end it was pretty good.

My girlfriend and I just finished watching Bottoms Up and we both thought that it was pretty good. Might want to see this movie because there's a few parts in the film you'll keep thinking about throughout your day because its so funny. If you notice in the film there is a shot of a million dollar Ferrari which is pretty nuts. Film was shot in a few clubs that I've been to so that was also pretty cool. So ya overall I liked it and don't understand why people are not going to getting this DVD. I'm surprised this film didn't go to theaters because its better then half the movies that are there now. So I give this movie a 5 out of 5 because its different and its fresh

While bottoms up is not going to win an Oscar. It is a nice fun movie that simply shows some of the old school talents from clerks and Paris acting which is slowly improving. Paris actually shows a little charm in this movie and becomes a likable. The image of Paris on the cover and title page is the worst picture I have ever seen of her. Since she is so concerned with her image, I am surprised that she allowed it. It would have been nice to have some more cameo's in the movie. While I don't see a bottoms up 2 in the near future this movie does remind you of the cheese movies of the 80's and even has a some t and a for show and tell.
