Now when it comes to comedies, I don't like comparing one movie to the other. I hate the review that includes "funnier than..." or "not as funny as...". Comedy reviews should just point out if the movie is good or not and funny or not. Right? So here we go.
I saw "The Hangover" recently and it's really great fun.
The concept of a few friends going to Vegas and getting so smashed that they don't even remember what happened the night before is classic, and the jokes stemming from this are the funniest in the movie.
3 friends wake up in a trashed hotel room to find chickens roaming freely, empty cans of booze everywhere, broken furniture and even a live tiger in the bathroom!
They can't find their 4th friend that went with them and they have to try to piece their night back together to find him.In addition to the ingenius plot, this movie has a funny, unexpected story line coupled with some really good comedic performances by the entire cast, especially the always hysterical Zack Galifianakis.
I also feel as if there are so many subtle jokes thrown in there that it may need repeated viewings to catch them all.
We got a cult classic on our hands, people.
Definitely check this one out, preferably with a large group of friends.
