Bottoms Up is an American romantic comedy film starring Jason Mewes and Paris Hilton. The film was directed by Erik MacArthur who is also one of the co-authors of the screenplay. The film was poorly received.

Plot

Owen Peadman (Jason Mewes) is a Minnesota bartender who arrives in Los Angeles to try to help his father raise money to save his small restaurant. Owen moves in with his gay uncle Earl (David Keith) and tries to integrate himself into the high society of Hollywood, where he has a chance run-in with a wealthy socialite named Lisa Mancini (Paris Hilton) and her uptight actor boyfriend Hayden Field (Brian Hallisay). Owen, using a little influence and blackmail, gets a taste of the scandalous lifestyles of the Hollywood upper crust while dealing with his growing romantic feelings for Lisa.
