Movie Review by a regular guy: “The Hangover”
-
The dreaded hangover.Seems like everybody I know at one point has been plagued by it. You know how it goes.You’re drinking having a good time one minute, the next minute you’re waking up with a pounding headache to recall the events of last night. Well at least most people can recall some details. These fools in “The hangover” couldn’t remember a damn thing.
Hangover takes us on a trip to Vegas with four friends,a teacher Phil (Bradley Cooper), dentist Stu (Ed Helms), brother of the bride Alan (Zach Galifianakis) take groom to be Doug (Justin Bartha) who are going to enjoy the night life in the city.They start the night off with an ackward as hell toast by Alan. After that the s*** hits the fan. The guys wake up and their $4,000 a night Villa is done, there’ stuff everywhere. Things are smoking, people on the floor,The groom is missing, a baby is in the closet, a chicken roaming around the room and a damn tiger is in the bathroom. I don’t know how the hell they got a tiger through a lobby up the elevator and to their room, but it’s a comedy movie. I’ll rock with it.
After they find out that the Doug is missing they set out on a journey to retrace their steps in order to find him. As they are on this journey around “Sin city” the details start to come to fruition. Stu married a stripper the night before and wanted to prove how good of a dentist he is by pulling his tooth out, Phil was in the hospital,and all four managed to steal a cop car. They also run into Mike Tyson and view some of the surveillance footage while they were at is house. Alan pisses all in the pool which Tyson is annoyed about and Phil is dry humping the Tiger.
The late George Carlin once said that the best jokes are the ones that catch you off guard. With that said, the “What The F***” moments in this movie are numerous.It’s so many in fact i fell like I’m slacking on this review here. Seriously though, nudity,unexpected lines, crazy ass characters. All that and I look over to the left of me in the theatre and I see a 9-10 year old boy like 6 seats away from me. Why wasn’t he in the other theatre taking a gander at “Up” amazes me. Shout out to guy dying laughing at the end of the movie by the way.He was 10 times louder than everybody else.
I watch the movie twice over the weekend and it was way funnier the second time around.You definitely will laugh a lot. If any of you ever ever have a hangover like this where you can’t remember not one thing, just don’t drink anymore.
Overall B+Be sure to pay attention the the crazy funny rendition of 50 cents “Candy Shop” towards the end of the movie
Quote’s of the Movie: Remember what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Except for herpes. That s***’ll come back with you.”
Alan: This isn’t the real Caesars palace is it?
Front desk Attendant: What do you you mean?
Alan: Caesar didn’t live here did he?
Stu: “She is wearing my grandmother’s Holocaust ring.”
Alan: “I didn’t know they gave out rings at the Holocaust.”
