Parents advised to read before viewing film as some scene may contain scenes unsuitable for younger viewers.

Sex & Nudity: One of the districts is the "Gratuitous Nudity District" and features women topless the entire time they are on screen.
The spoof of "Ted," "Teddy" is a giant teddy bear that has a fake penis attached to it.
The weapons have sex toys attached to them, and the Games are said to be sponsored by a Sex Toy manufacturer.
Katnip's breasts are shown multiple times- once in profile and once zoomed in on the screen. 

Violence & Gore: The premise of the movie is to spoof The Hunger Games, in which the plot revolves around killing others in order to survive yourself. Lots of over the top violence and blood.
A spoof of the movie "Carrie" features a girl covered in blood.

Profanity: Frequent use of strong language (f***, s***, etc.) and mild language (damn, hell, etc.)
  


Alcohol/Drugs/Smoking: Within the first minutes of the movie one of the main characters offers many different kinds of drugs to his friends.
One character is addicted to drugs and alcohol.

Frightening/Intense Scenes: The combination of the violence, language, and sexual things on screen may offend some, but almost all of it is played for laughs.
  


Story: After celebrating Doug's upcoming wedding in a cut rate hotel in Laughlin, NV, hungover guys Bradley, Ed and Zach wake up in a futuristic dystopia, having lost their pal, Doug. With the help of Effing and Justmitch, the trio's loyal advisers, the gang must now prepare to battle their way through the pop culture districts of The Hungover Games including The Real Housewives of District 8 and Teddy from The Puppet District.

Likes : The Hungover Games takes the known and loved characters from the movie's and places them in a world similar to The Hunger Games. In the process, it attempts to criticize Hollywood for a lack of originality. This is perhaps the only funny joke in the movie, seeing as it is itself completely without original thought.
Alot of this film is show with two famous porn stars Kayden Kross who plays Chastity & Kirsty Hill aka Sophie Dee play her self who both spend almost the whole film topless which most guys will love watching in this film just for those scenes. Most of the film trys so hard to take the p*ss out of The Hangover, Avatar, Porn films, Ted, Thor, Lone Ranger, pirate of the Caribbean, django,the hobbit,charlie & the chocolate factory & the new president Obama as being the bad guy throw in to a world like hunger games i cant believe they got Bruce Jenner,  kim kardashian's step dad in this film so funny seeing him do something like this.
Some people may find this funny if you have a simple mind to find this funny but this although entertaining just had no direction what so ever, it felt an excuse just to show naked woman in a film.  


Dislikes : Although some acting was OK, the jokes were over the top & stupid, the person who write this story must be high on something to think this was how spoof film are made because this is no Mel Brooks style film which were funny.i think with a better imagination these type of film might be funny one day but this director serious needs work on whats funny & whats not because this wasn't funny although entertaining.

Overall : naked woman feast, over the top stupid jokes, slightly entertaining. may not be for everyone.

Rating: 2.5 out of 5 for entertainment / 3.7 out of 10 for story/ comedy spoof
