suite92 The Three Acts: The initial tableaux: Remy and Augie work at a run-down carnival, Remy as a hawker, and Augie as the handyman/fixer. The biggest attraction is called 'Gates to H*ll' and it breaks down recurrently. The budget is limited for spare parts and safety features, 'run-down' is probably a stable state, especially after the bank foreclosure. Their life-long friend Curt has responsibilities at the park, but no authority. Curt's boss is a dedicated zoned-out doper. Will there be upgrades to make the park competitive, or even safe? Probably not.Remy looks for some hail Mary action to save the park, but instead settles on a book of Madame Zonar's concerning Beelzebub. Curt asks Remy for a mint, and Remy gets Curt to seal a blood oath on the book that he will pay back the mint. Curt openly admits that he lied. This breaking of the oath activates the dormant Gates of H*ll ride. Curt gets pulled down. While the vortex is still active, Remy and Augie follow into H*ll, so as to find Curt and save his sorry self.Delineation of conflicts: The Devil would like to have sex with Barb the Angel. Barb knows this, and leverages it into having the Devil find Remy and Augie, so that she can get 'save the misplaced mortals' off her To Do list.Remy and Augie are looking for Orpheus, since he was able to walk out of hell with a person who was condemned. Deema the half-demon is looking for Orpheus for her own reasons.One of the demon unions is p#ssed that there have not been enough sacrifices lately. Curt gets nominated, largely to his ill-considered speech, and his sacrifice becomes a big event in Hell.Curt tries negotiating directly with the Devil, who has to deal with the demon union.Resolution: Can the protagonists save Curt? Will Curt save himself?

Floated2 Hell and Back is a foul mouth R rated animated film which was in theaters for only a small limited released. Given its profusion of raunchy, R-rated, largely sex-focused jokes. Several of the jokes are not particularly clever enough to stick with. There tends to be little opportunity for Hell and Back to strike even a fleeting chord with viewers. And this brings us back to the inherent limitation of American adult animated films. Starring as the lead voices of the film are T.J. Miller, Rob Riggle, and Nick Swardson . Bob Odenkirk is animated as the lead devil. Mila Kunis and Susan Sarandon get in on the action, as Deema the demon and Barb the Angel, respectively. Danny McBride plays Orpheus, one of the few other humans to cross the plane into the underworld. The film's plot is rather weak and seems to have been something we would see from a television series plot. There just is not enough great jokes, but Hell and Back is quite entertaining to watch. Although predictable.

Tyler Hunt Ahh Yes, Shadow Machine has done it again. First was the instant success of Robot Chicken, and now their first Movie should be a box office hit, but today when i watched Hell and Back, I was the only one in the room. Never mind the total absence of people, the movie was extremely funny. The voice acting was spot on, The sound and backgrounds were perfect. Every single character in the movie was actually relevant to the plot, that's a bonus. If i had to say (type), a bad thing about the move, I noticed the lip-syncing was off by a bit, sometimes, But overall, I HIGHLY recommend you watch Hell and Back! I know it's a stop-motion movie, most people want actors, real-life places and realism, but we all love Robot Chicken, so basically Hell and Back is a extended, well-written episode.

Clayton Holloway (Darkhorse_Knight) Hell and Back might just be the best Stoner Comedy-Adult Claymation that takes place in Hell...only because it's the ONLY one. Okay, now to be fair with this, I will say that the voice work of this film is...alright. The jokes vary from hit-and-miss (mostly though, they miss). The adult content has been amped up so much that it feels they just broke it off to see if it can go higher. Yes, this one of the raunchiest movies I've ever seen. Not just this year, period.The story is about 3 'Bros' who work at a piece of crap of a ghetto carnival. While trying to figure out how to save it from being foreclosed, one of the main characters named Remy(Nick Swardon) locates a book of Beelzebub within the fortune teller's shack, and starts to get interested in it. Soon, his friends Augie(T.J. Miller) and Curt(Rob Riggle) show up, and Remy forces them in to some kind of satanic ritual over a mint. I wish I was kidding. Soon, Curt breaks his oath for not having a mint, and so he ends up going to Hell, and it's up to our two bro-tagonists to come and save the poor man from the Devil(Bob Odenkirk)Now, the biggest problem with the film is dealing with the likability of our main characters, especially Remy. Remy is one of the worst written character's I've seen in a movie to date. He isn't funny in his jerkiness, he's just a bloody douche. Not only is he bad, but another character named Orpheus(played by Danny McBride) is just as badly written, if not worse then Remy. And these two BOND in their overblown, flanderized nature. Also, the Devil, for being the whole 'Prince of Darkness' and all, is very underwhelming. His jokes aren't funny in the slightest, and he has this other form where he's dressed like a hipster and it's stupid as hell. or in this case, stupid as there.Jokes are a big part of comedy, and they need to be quick as so the audience can't think to hard on them, otherwise you risk having the audience unravel it and finding a sort of fridge horror behind it. Jokes in this movie drag out for too long, even the legitimately funny ones, and they feel rushed as a result. A noteworthy series of the good ones involve a suffering spirit trying to take punishments from a demon, but the punishments are really subpar and no big deal, and the demon ends it with "Heh heh, Welcome to Hell." However, those jokes are vastly outnumbered by toilet humor that feels like it belongs in a bad kid's movie, and stoner comedy that feels like the throwaway gags ripped from that movie American Ultra.However, I can't help but see some light in the dark of this film. The animation looks OK, the music is good(and that includes the songs Orpheus sings), and the design of Hell is pretty good for what they got. I also found that the implied romance between Augie and the half-succubus Deema to feel nice and a good mold breaker towards the rest of the film's mediocrity. It's surprisingly traditional given that the demon herself is literally a female sex-crazed monstrosity. But, she and Augie are the closet we get to likable characters.This is a big disappointment for me and for those who want to see a smartly written comedy. "Hell and Back", however, lived up to it's name. I wish it were better, but it's still an underwhelming, mediocre stoner film that just so happens to be claymation and in hell.
