5.0 out of 5 stars Great film, awesome DVD, February 13, 2001

By 

Marie - See all my reviews

This review is from: Drinking Games (DVD)

This is a very good film with some excellent special features. The film is about friends who get together after the suicide of their friend and drink to disassociate themselves from the strong feelings they are experiencing. Their conversation runs from theology to raunchy sex and is witty and thought provoking.

As for the special features, the interactive drinking game (Drink-O-Vision) was a fantastic time. My friends and I could barely walk after the film. There was also director's commentary that gave great advise on how to make an independent film, an interview with the filmmakers, and a library of drinking games. There were other special features, however these were my favorite.

Check out this disc, it was excellent.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bad movie, Great DVD, May 6, 2002

Rebecca (Charleston, SC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Drinking Games (DVD)

This movie was terrible. A Gen-X version of "The Big Chill" sans the great music or good acting, for that matter. I don't have much more to say about the movie other than it was BAD.

The only redeeming quality of this DVD (which is obviously absent from the VHS tape) is that it has a feature with drinking games on it. Kind of a neat little library, if you ask me, to keep on hand for a party (or a private or personal binge, though I don't recommend that). They even make the movie itself into a drinking game in that you identify yourself with a character (each character drinks more or less than the others on average) and drink whenever that character drinks. There are also other rules for when you have to drink (ie, whenever anyone mentions sex).

Frankly, I am not one for independent movies, really, but some have blown me away. This, unfortunately, didn't come even close to that, and I wanted to pull my own hair out one by one by the end of the movie. If I could get this DVD super cheaply, I would buy it for the drinking games library, but I would much rather play a drinking game with another movie or a TV show. I'm sure you can find great ones on the internet.

4.0 out of 5 stars Wit and Reality, January 17, 2002

Time 4 Books "jessov" (Minneapolis, MN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Drinking Games [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This was a great movie - the acting is a bit awkward at times, but that almost makes the characters more real and that much more appealing. They reminded me of people I know...and of those twisted conversations you can only have with your closest friends (usually while under the influence).
