The Hangover…

June 8, 2009

Never before have I wanted a second viewing of something quite as miserable as a hangover. However this movie was the funniest Ive seen this year. Yup thats right, another comedy finally ousted “I love you, man” as the best of the year.

I have to say though, Im pretty surprised… pleasantly of course. I didnt expect this to be such a solid comedy, seeing as its not headlined by any top comedy actors. But I really think this is what worked best for it, I feel Im getting tired of seeing the same group of guys in every comedy I see in the last 3 years, Ive honestly had enough of Seth Rogen for a while now.

So here are 5 reasons to go see “The Hangover”:

5. The hotel suite aftermath, pay attention to everything around the characters in the hotel room. The production designers did a great job setting this scene up lots of interesting things in the background

4. The Tiger… Im trying to avoid spoilers here  so just wait for it.

3. Ed Helms, I love this guy in the office and he has some great moments throughout this movie.

2. The slide show during the credits, has to be one of the funniest parts of the movie and is completely believeable.

and #1.  Zach Galifianakis – This guy is amazing, he basically steals every scene. I cant remember the last movie of his Ive seen (Im thinking ‘Out Cold’) but I do hope to see more of him.

So those are my thoughts, aparently a lot of others agreed with me seeing as The Hangover grossed an amazing 43.3 mill only .9 mill behind Pixar’s Up which I think is pretty impressive.
