Wow...I've never seen a movie that tries so hard to be funny yet misses every single time. At no point did I laugh, smile, grin, or chuckle. Even worse, it wasn't even the kind of crappy movie that you can laugh at how crappy it is. The funniest part of the last hour and 40 minutes of my life is when I read a reviewer say its a "female hangover with a few more laughs". In order to find this film in any way funny you have to be on whatever drug that aforementioned reviewer was on...my guess is laughing gas, and lots of it. I have literally found two separate funerals I have attended in my lifetime funnier than this movie...FUNERALS!!! (Long story on the funerals)

The Brightside? Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have made another movie and it is NOT a poorly executed parody. The Darkside? Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer have made another movie."Best Night Ever," even though it's not the atrocities that are suppose to pass for parodies and satire, is still a terrible example of bad filmmaking and even worse storytelling from two of the most mystifying men in Hollywood. The mystery? Why exactly they get work and are allowed to write and direct films. The bigger mystery? Why do some people enjoy them? There's barely a story going on in "Best Night Ever" and it barely is enough to warrant the razor-thin plot the movie tries to have. The film is just a haphazard collection of girls going from one party moment to the next and, more often than not, they are presented in montage form to sound alike club hits because the production couldn't afford the actual songs you hear on the radio. But don't worry because all the bad attempts at being funny and the predictable failure at said attempts are here and keeping Friedberg and Seltzer's reputation of being completely devoid of what it takes to write a decent joke intact. In fact, this film is so groan-inducing and terrible at its attempts to be funny that I started to question whether or not the intention was to be a comedy to begin with and not just some random art film filled with one-dimensional characters, random partying imagery and complete nonsense. However, then the next scene involves stealing jokes from other, better films and I realize that Friedberg and Seltzer are just terrible writers."Best Night Ever" has no redeeming factors and is barely worth the time to watch it—even if you are putting it on in the background while your vacuuming or doing something that is a better use of your time than watching a Friedberg/Seltzer film. There's no point in beating around the bush or getting cute here: "Best Night Ever" is terrible.Hello there, good looking! Wanna read a more in-depth review of "Best Night Ever" or experience other, better movie reviews, geeky rants, mad ramblings and bad jokes (but not Friedberg/Seltzer bad)? Then you can head on over to my blog; revronmovies.blogspot.com. Or, if you don't care or hate me for no reason, then you probably shouldn't go to my blog.

When is Hollywood going to realize that five things are necessary in good cinema: great camera transitions and camera work, a good soundtrack,interesting sets,a convincing premise-one that enables you to suspend disbelief, and good acting. A camera artist can suggest someone making love by a slow pan to a window sill,can change sets by panning to a tree. Camera work is an art and one that I especially enjoy in movie entertainment. It's time to throw the young turks with their belief that you can make good cinema with a handcam out on their ears. Good camera transitions have identified good cinema since.....Citizen Kane. And even light romcoms benefit from good camera work.A good soundtrack establishes how you FEEL during the scenes and are especially important to the finale of the movie. Interesting sets can make the dullest movie more enjoyable. And a good premise combined with good acting can enable you to suspend disbelief in the wackiest movies- can make you believe in elves and dragons for a short time. Just saying-throw the handcam away....or give it to a family with a kid and get back to REAL cinema where the sum of each artists work is revealed in the whole.Anyone that makes movies any other way is wasting their time and yours.

Finally, a movie that's worth watching and one of the funniest movies I've seen in a very long time. The perfect example of a perfect parody. Whatever you do, do not judge this title based on the directors previous work. this was very different and much better.While most of these directors movies are pure filth, this found-footage style parody steps away from the normal path these directors normally take and sheds new light on how creative they can actually get. An epic win for lovers of the comedic/spoof genre. It proved to work out in their favor finally. THIS MOVIE WAS TRIUMPHANT. Amazingly well directed and funny as hell with some incredibly visual moments that shock you silly! 10 out of 10. Job well done.
