From the makers of Disaster Movie and the likes comes a new low.
The story is a failed rip-off from The Hangover where 4 women: the rich neat sister, the weird one, the loose one and the one about to be married head to Las Vegas for a bachelorette party, their booking went all wrong so they just go out to get as drunk as they possibly can. What follows are seemingly random scenes akin to the stories my wannabe hip uncle tells at birthdays.
Still, if everything else was great it could have been saved. Unfortunately this isn't the case. The acting ranges from bad to mediocre. The editing only makes it worse, where sometimes people respond 2 seconds too late to shocking news. And the camera is horrible, they went for the handy-cam way of shooting the movie which makes for crappy quality and constantly gives you the feeling that you're watching some embarrassing home video that didn't quite make it to the funniest home videos show.
If after all of this you still want to see it, watch the trailer instead as anything remotely funny or worthwhile is in the trailer.
Claire goes to Las Vegas for a bachelorette night before she gets married. She is accompanied by her sister Leslie and friends Zoe and Janet. Zoe is Claire's best friend, and does most of the filming using a hand-held camera. Janet is the rude and barbaric friend.
The trip starts out somewhat normally, but the plans crash when Zoe discovers that her credit cards have been stopped, and her reservations have been canceled. The evening gets worse after that. They get robbed at gunpoint by a valet; they lose money, identification, shoes, engagement ring, and so on.
After some binge drinking, they steal a car, kidnap the wrong valet to get the engagement ring back, and get screwed over in a drug deal. The manage to elude the police. They use drugs and go to a bachelor party after being mistaken for hookers.
By some magic, the quartet fails to get arrested or be killed for the multiple felonies they commit.

Cinematography: 2/10 Hand-held.
Sound: 2/10 Terrible leveling. During one interval, the editor inserted sub-titles because the words were indecipherable versus the background noise.
Acting: 0/10
Screenplay: 0/10 Completely derivative. If you have seen a Hangover film, or Bridesmaids, then you have pretty much seen the content of this one.
Worst. Movie. Ever. I had high hopes from the trailer but what I found was a pathetic mix up of Hangover, Bridesmaids, and Springbreakers. The acting was awful, the supposed 'handy cam' viewpoint annoying and unrealistic. I only kept watching it out of a dark fascination of how far could their train wreck go. Blood, defecation, sex toys, gratuitous violence, it goes far in all aspects and in extreme bad taste. Nothing humorous at all in this movie unless perhaps you're really into toilet humor. And throughout all the mishaps the girls remained make up and hair perfect with nary a streak of dirt on their clothing. It's completely ridiculous. Save a couple hours of your life that you won't get back and avoid this movie.
If your'e a fan of Vegas, Party Comedy's, I would recommend you watch this movie. It involves everything a Vegas, Party, Comedy should have, Boozes, Drugs & Strippers. Three hot girl's taking a trip to Vegas for a Bachlorette, Ending up making some bad choices.
There are a few advantages & disadvantages, At some parts it can be funny but at some parts this movies can be boring. This movie need's to involve more of the Las Vegas atmosphere & joy towards the viewers. This movie is set in the streets of Las Vegas a lot more than the centre of Vegas this connects to the boring parts of the movie.
Writer/director's Jason Friedberg and Aaron Seltzer are known for writing "spoof" comedies, and this one doesn't seem very different. 'Best Night Ever' is a movie that seems like it would attract a female audience, but it is certainly made for men.
