Bride-to-be Claire, her sister Leslie, fun-loving Zoe, and quirky new friend Janet set off to Las Vegas for a one-night bachelorette party that turns out to be more than they bargained for. A series of unexpected adventures including, getting kicked out of a strip club, being mugged and getting pummeled by the Las Vegas’ reigning gelatin-wrestling champion, Veronica, rip them from the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas strip and places them smack dab in Vegas’ seedy underbelly.
Determined to keep their bachelorette party dreams alive, the girls band together and embark on the wildest night in bachelorette party history. Fueled by sex and booze, this raunchy, riotously hilarious, out-of-control, blow-out is, for better or worse, all caught on tape. And is destined to go down as the Best Night Ever.
Best Night Ever was shot on location in Los Angeles, Palm Springs and Las Vegas over three weeks in July and August of 2012. Written and Directed by Aaron Seltzer & Jason Friedberg, the team behind such spoofs as Meet The Spartans, Date Movie and Vampires Suck, BEST NIGHT EVER offered a departure from their usual fare. Though the Vegas locale and general scenario drew common comparisons to films like The Hangover series, Bridesmaids and Bachelorette, the filmmakers sought out to create an original fictional film, and given the low budget and experimental shooting style, one that Friedberg and Seltzer could really have fun with.
Shooting Best Night Ever was like being on tour with your favorite rock n’ roll band. We steam-rolled through our shoot the way AC/DC stream-rolls through an awesome set. There was action and comedy and excitement each day of the shoot. In a lot of ways the shoot reflected the story of the movie, it didn’t matter if things went wrong we were determined to do what we had to do to get it shot and have a fun time doing it. The shoot took us everywhere, from a seedy hotel in the shadows of Los Angeles, to 90° nights in Palm Springs, to the always nostalgic Downtown Strip in Las Vegas.
