action

Friends Bradley, Ed and Zach celebrate his bachelorette party with their boyfriend Doug. In 2213 they woke up completely drunk in a hotel room, without their future groom. You are at the Hungover Games, a survival show. While the participants in this show are trying to kill each other, the three look for their boyfriend to get him to his wedding in time. The participants are parodies of various characters from film and television. There is a homosexual Thor , characters from horror films, dolls similar to the Muppets and various characters played by Johnny Depp . They are supported in their search by Katnip, with whom Ed falls in love. Little by little the opponents kill each other, Katnip also dies. So only the three friends and Doug, who had disguised himself as a bush for the time, are left when it is announced that only one can survive. In order to trick the game management, similar to the ending in The Hunger Games, the four swallow poisonous berries on the advice of Zach, who has read the novel. However, this succeeds, whereupon all four die. In the next scene, the friends wake up in the hotel room where they had the bachelorette party and think it's a dream. At Doug's final wedding, however, Ed recognizes Katnip in one of the guests. The film ends like a hangover with a clip show of party pictures.

  • Jack Sparrow's German voice actor Marcus Off from Pirates of the Caribbean 1–3 also speaks Jack here.
  • Caitlyn Jenner is still named Bruce Jenner in the credits in the credits . The reason for this is that the film was released in 2014, but Jenner only came out as a trans woman in April 2015 and she has only been using her female first name since June 2015.
