I think this is the finest movie I've ever watched; If you disagree, you must watch it once more and re - evaluate your beliefs as this is the finest movie I have ever witnessed. It offers a fantastic plot, remarkable comedy, and breathtaking animation. Seeing a sequel would be phenomenal.

A complete mess, over produced visually and poorly written. It would seem that they spent all their money on stop frame animation and had nothing left to hire competent writers.I can honestly say there was not one laugh anywhere to be found.

Surviving Hell's Humor
Hell and Back is an adult comedy movie that uses a creative and clever use of stop-motion animation. It has a raunchy, twisted humor, that will either fill the room with pubescent giggles or just a straight up "What the F***." The movie begins with three life-long buddies working one night, at their local amusement park. Although the park is run down, and the streets are covered in trash, it still leaves the viewers with a nostalgic vibe. The three friends, who are Remy, voiced by Nick Swardson, Augie, voiced by T.J. Miller, and Kurt, voiced by Rob Riggle, continue working there for their desperate need of cash. That night a letter from the bank is received in the mail about foreclosing the park. The boys become concerned but are not surprised by the news.
They meet up and talk of what is to happen to the park. Nevertheless, being high school boys, it is only a matter of time before they cause some trouble. Fooling around, they decide to make a silly oath. However, they made a mistake of committing this strange blood ritual on the book of Satan. Kurt doesn't pull through of course, and just finds it funny and childish. As repercussion of breaking the oath, a portal almost immediately appears behind them and only sucks in Kurt. Without much time to think of what is happening, his two loyal friends jump in after him, tumbling down a rabbit hole of fire. But little do they know, that they are in for a gruesome ride.
When Remy and Augie land at the end of the portal, they find themselves trapped in the fiery pits of Hell. They search for Kurt and spot him being bagged and dragged away against his will. Screams fill the air as the movie breaks into dancefloor music and flips through various skits of humorous demonic torture. In that moment, Remy and Augie realize it is up to them to save their friend's soul, as well as themselves.
Not too long after finding themselves stranded in the underworld, they come into untimely contact with Satan himself, who is voiced by Bob Odenkirk. Satan is furious to discover two "mortals" hiding in his office. He asks them if they are following in the cliché Greekology steps of Orpheus. The boys are completely unaware of who that may be, and so Satan mistakenly slips up and explains the legend. With this information the boys create a plan. Barely escaping the Devil's clutches, Remy and Augie team up with a half-demon, purple-skinned girl, named Deema, who is voiced by Mila Kunis. In hopes of finding help, together they sail through the depths of Hell, in search of Orpheus, who is voiced by Danny McBride.
The movie includes writers Hugh Sterbakov, Zeb Wells, and director Ross Shuman. Who all three coincidentally link to the production of Adult Swim's late-night comedy Robot Chicken. Anyone who has watched this television serious, knows that their comedy is not for everyone. The same goes for Hell and Back. It is full of on-going cringy jokes, vulgar humor, and is only given a 33% on the Rotten Tomatoes site. The low percentage does not mean that the movie isn't good, just that it obviously targets a specific audience.
Hell and Back is a journey through the underworld, testing the loyalty of true friendships. While navigating their mission to escape, they provoke an assortment of misfit demons, a super sexy angel, an infamous Greek legend, and Satan himself. The movie holds a strong cast of big named stars, including Susan Sarandon, Jennifer Coolidge, David Koechner, and many more. It is not a movie to be taken seriously, yet for viewers who enjoy cruel comedy. Hell and Back has its own original, unique concept and uses it in a way to catch the viewers' attention. Although the movie contains quite a bit of foul language, and sexually appalling humor, it is brilliantly funny.
