The Hangover- Box Office movie (July 09)
The Hangover is, in essence, a creative twist on the “one crazy night” and “road trip” comedy templates. I don’t think it’s necessary to go into much detail as far as the plot is concerned; All you need to know is that it’s a great story, with great acting, and very big laughs. What more can one want from a comedy?
Starring Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms
Going to Las Vegas for a ”wild” bachelor party is now the ultimate middle-class hedonist cliché. The fun of The Hangover — what makes it more than just one what-happens-in-Vegas romp too many — is that the film completely understands all this. The four comrades who drive from Los Angeles to the Nevada desert to prepare for the wedding of Doug (Justin Bartha) aren’t daring or cool; they aren’t born swingers. They’re an unglamorous Every guy quartet, doing what they all think they’re supposed to do. They’re probably imitating Vegas movies as much as those films imitated reality.
The Hangover is, in essence, a creative twist on the “one crazy night” and “road trip” comedy templates. I don’t think it’s necessary to go into much detail as far as the plot is concerned; all you need to know is that it’s a great story, with great acting, and very big laughs. What more can one want from a comedy? This is not a family film by any means. The language is very over the top.
The Hangover will go down as a must have Blu-Ray, DVD, VHS and a fun re-watch over and over for some hysterical laughs.
