The Hangover


Released: 2009
Comedy (but not to me)
Director: Todd Phillips
Starring: Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Justin Bartha
Running Time: 100 minutes
Rated: R

The breakdown: During a crazy bachelor party trip to Vegas, 3 groomsmen lose the Groom and can't remember how to find him or what happened last night when they lost him.

I had heard a lot about this movie and maybe that's why I didn't think it was very good.
My breakdown basically covers all the plot points of this movie.  The guys go to Vegas before their friends wedding.  All four of them start on the rooftop and then the next morning they are waking up and can't remember anything other than drinking on the rooftop the night before.  The only thing that is obvious is that the groom is lost and they can't find him anywhere in the room they are all in.  There's tigers, Mike Tyson, missing teeth, a baby, all sorts of crazy things that they find, but none of it is believable or funny.  The characters are either unlikable or just plain stupid.
The ONLY thing truly good in this movie is seeing Bradley Cooper all dressed up in the beginning of the Vegas scenes looking delicious and that's it.  It's all downhill from there, and the fact that they made a sequel to this piece of garbage movie is not surprising in the fact that American audiences will watch anything and Hollywood greed is still in full force.
I give it 1 out 5 stubs for not being funny and not having any characters to root for.  Just find a still of Bradley Cooper and skip the movie.
