I don’t often do the review thing here. I’m more into forthcoming attractions than going over movies we will all see before they come out thanks to Bob in accounting who doubles as an online pirate and can organize you anything from the latest movies to German porn involving beer, goats and golden showers. However, I watched The Hangover last night, on the big screen. I’ve had it on my hard drive for some time now but I’ve resisted the urge to watch it. I wanted the big screen experience for this one and it was well worth it. The Hangover is one of the best comedies, of its kind, that I have ever seen. It is a laugh-a-minute ride filled with booze, hot chicks, drugs, wild animals, strippers, livestock, bodily harm, gay Chinese gangsters, unscrupulous cops, and phenomenal dialogue. The chemistry between the three main characters Phil, Alan and Stu is stunning. The guys play off each other perfectly and the combination of their three very different characters results in some hilarious banter. Alan, a slightly challenged individual, provides the most laughs by far with his off the wall behavior. Pretty much everything he says makes you laugh out loud. This is definitely a movie you can watch again and again, each time picking up something new. It doesn’t have a heavy weight cast, though Bradley Cooper (Phil) and Zach Galifianakis (Alan) hold their own completely. I am looking forward to more from these two, especially Zach. The man has massive cult following potential. He owns his lines in a sort of Will Ferrell fashion, which obviously lends it’s self to a certain audience. Me. My only criticism...it could have been longer. A few more tasks/characters could have been added to the list of challenges the boys had to get through to find their missing bro. Other than that is was amazing. Do yourself a flavor and watch it. I give it a 7 out of 7. |
