Trisha R.
All critics called it really bad but in my opinion, I think this is a pretty good movie. Why didn't they criticized Ashlee Simpson as much? I think her movie was far worst than Paris Hiltons. Of course, if you're a Paris fan, you'll probably enjoy it like I did. She started acting in this movie so, nobody could expect much but I think she did a pretty good job for a first-timer. I give it 5 stars despite all the critics out there. PARIS FOREVER!!!
 Bottoms Up Review September 21, 2009

We liked it. People took this movie too seriously. It's meant to have fun with, and if you're a fan of Paris Hilton, you'll like it. We were surprised to see David Keith take a role like this at first, but as the movie plays out his character is kind of funny. It has some funny parts and if you're a fan of Paris Hilton, you'll like it.

Bottoms Up was released straight to DVD and the reviews are bad, bad, bad, but I enjoyed the movie and it made me think. First, I admit that the story is not very plausible and neither Mewes nor Paris are the greatest actors, but they were more than adequate for this light hearted story about a Midwestern bartender who goes to Hollywood to try and win a bartending contest and save his father's bar from foreclosure. If you were expecting to see any bottle juggling pyrotechnic bartender high jinks, a la Coyote Ugly or Tom Cruise in Cocktail you'll be disappointed, although there are a few scenes of that. Basically, Owen Peadman's (Jason Mewes') plan changes once he gets there and starts working for his Uncle Earl (David Keith), a free lance tabloid reporter. While working on a story on the studio lot Lisa Mancini (Paris Hilton), the daughter of the studio boss, gets into an accident and blames Owen, getting him and his uncle fired. They vow revenge and hatch a plot to ingratiate Owen into the inner circle so he can dig up some dirt on them, sell the story to the tabloids, and ruin their lives and get the money to save his dad's bar back home.
What made this tawdry tale interesting to me was how it revealed Paris Hilton's method of operation and her ambitions. "I don't want to be known as the grand-daughter of the Hiltons. I want to be known as Paris," said Paris. Though she is viewed as a lazy socialite, and widely scorned for her perceived narcissism, her shallow intellect, and her crass materialism, she is actually creating a Brand, "Paris Hilton," and she uses the tabloids as much as they use her, to keep herself in the public eye and get publicity for her perfume, clothing line, night clubs, and film and recording projects. Perhaps there is no such thing as bad publicity, the way Paris sees the world. She first gained notoriety when the explicit private video 1 Night in Paris was accidentally released--or was it an accident? Her well publicized feuds with her various party girl playmates also stoked the flames of her notoriety. Even a DUI was turned to her advantage, though when she was released early, there was a big hue and cry, and a backlash against her, and she did serve some time, and made a mea culpa tour where she displayed the proper amount of contriteness. "I think the biggest misconception about me is that I'm this spoiled brat. But I'm not. I'm the total opposite," said Paris.
Though she was a laughingstock, she can get booked on Letterman, and all she has to do is keep her chin up, flirt with him a little bit, and he is putty in her hands. "I talk in that baby talk voice when I'm on TV, it's a put on," says Paris. I haven't even mentioned how they tried to use her in the McCain campaign, and you saw how that worked out for them.
She is playing the dumb blonde to the hilt, like Jessica Simpson, seen on reality TV wondering whether Chicken of the Sea Tuna is Chicken. She later made a commercial where she wondered if Buffalo Wings came from flying buffalos. What can you make of statements from Paris Hilton like: "I went to Wal-Mart for the first time. I always thought they sold wallpaper. I didn't realize it has everything. You can get anything you want there for really, really cheap." It makes her sound sheltered but not a snob, no she is down for buying stuff really cheap. "I take my dog Tinkerbelle seriously. I take my job seriously. But I don't take myself all that seriously," says Paris.
That is a good strategy when you are in the public eye and a target for cheap jokes and paparazzi attacks. What does Paris think is her biggest flaw? "I desperately hate one thing about my body. I have size 11 feet. Yeah, it sucks, because I see all these super cute shoes in the stores: Guccis, YSLs, Manolos. And when they bring them out in my size, they look like clown shoes," says Paris. Poor Paris. See, it's working. I am starting to feel sympathy for her.
Jason Mewes is on a slightly different career trajectory, but it isn't really as different as it seems. His friend, Kevin Smith, realized that the only way he was ever going to get any McLovin' was for him to become a film director, and Mewes rode that gravy train through a whole series of films, establishing himself and Smith as the iconic figures, Jay and Silent Bob. In Bottoms Up, Jason starts to move out of Smith's humongous shadow, but there is still a cameo appearance. The Owen Peadman character is a little more subdued then motor mouth Jay. His secret in becoming a part of a celebrity entourage is to not fawn over the famous, be a little sassy, like you couldn't care less. A little extortion, just to get your foot in the door, doesn't hurt, either.

Goober goes to Hollywood November 24, 2008

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.

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.
