Plot summary

A rag tag band of idiots on the verge of signing a recording contract is sandbagged by their lead singer, Chas Knopfler, into throwing the mother of all parties the night before they embark on a world tour. Eddie Mesmer, the rhythm guitarist, awakens to find his drummer, Toss Dunbar, hanging from a tree like a scarecrow, and the house completely destroyed. Eddie and Toss quickly realize that A: they can't remember anything and B: there's a dead guy in the pool. Now, they have to figure out what happened the night before or their Rock and Roll dream is over.

Not sure where the 10/10 reviews came from

I hate to accuse people who posted here 10 years ago of being paid shills for the production, but that seems to be the case with these reviewers. If you've ever seen one of those movies where someone in L. A. just decided to go ahead and make a movie about things they thought would be cool and/or funny without realizing that there's a world outside of L. A. where movies are primarily objects of consumption, you've seen this. Middle-aged weirdos who care too much about their looks and not enough about anything else should be banned from polluting the world of art with garbage like this.

If Quentin Tarantino directed The Hangover it might be good. Imagine if that happened, but instead of Quentin Tarantino they could only get his non-union Russian equivalent.

I DON'T REMEMBER THE LAST THING I REMEMBER

If you read the DVD cover you will immediately think about "Hangover." Unfortunately the script writing lacks the cleverness and cohesiveness of a "Hangover" script. The film is about a British band that try to piece together the events of the previous night in a haphazard fashion. Eddie (Scott Rosa) is the voice of reason and songwriter for the group. Chas (Michael Graziadei) is the drummer who does more drugs than is humanly possible, even for Keith Richards. Toss (Flood Reed) is a crude unlikeable guitarist who's only goal is to use women. Gunther (John Joyce) is the fourth member of the band. The writers ignored him for much of the film. They wake up to a trashed house and a dead guy in the pool. All the action takes place at this one residence.

There are some funny scenes and lines, but over all the movie lacked any type of rhythm. Chas resembled Zach Galifianakis which was a plus, but the added two characters of Toss and Gunther did more to hinder the story than add to it. The band girls were underutilized. The film has a certain amount of crudeness as expected for this genre, with a few scenes being more crude than funny.

Watching a bunch of guys play beer pong is boring. It is an acceptable young adult romp rental at best. Good for a few laughs.

Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity

The Blackout is worth the watch

This movie provides a peak at some major up & coming talent. I found the dialogue and humor to be impressive considering the budget involved. I would recommend giving it a view and watch some of these names show up more often in various roles because I saw a lot of range. I felt at first that I was to watch a horrific reboot of The Hangover, but it was instead surprisingly unique and refreshingly comedic from the typical type of comedy we've been force fed for years. Once you allow the characters to settle in, the movie takes off and your treated to impressive writing and witty humor. I thoroughly enjoyed and it reminded me where great talent starts.
