The Hangover

[Atreides]

Yeah, I saw it yesterday and while I liked it and was amused, I didn't fall off my chair or anything like I was led to believe by the critics and the fans. Bradley Cooper is very handsome though. I'd like to see him become a big star as he seems like a nice guy in real life, as opposed to all the assholes he usually plays.

Hilarious and depraved - loved it. The whole theater was in hysterics. The "Rainman" salute made me choke I was laughing so hard. Galifianakis is divine; Cooper and Bartha are hot. Leslie Chow's nude scene scarred me for life though. I wasn't sure if he was a man or woman for the longest time since I never saw a penis.

I thought Chow was tucking it, ala Jame Gumb in Silence of the Lambs. Anything else was too odd to consider. His character made me laugh the hardest, actually; he was such a nutcase.

If you guys are old, then I must be an antique because I don't even want to see it. Looks like a Red Box movie for me.

I am an antique as well because I just can't stomach another one of these bachelor party movies. I just can't.

The clever part about the movie, and one of the reasons it steers clear of just another raunchy buddy movie, is they way it reveals what happened to these guys. We never see what happened as it happened (does that make sense?). It's either done really quietly (the tiger), really over the top (nude guy) or in a "Excuse me, can you repeat that?" kind of way. I found myself cruising along waiting for the next reveal. I like that they cast kind-of-known people in the parts. You don't get so-and-so's usual shtick. Yes, the guys aren't really fleshed out and the female roles are pretty cookie cutter but it is a broad comedy and had some things I hadn't seen before. I didn't expect that much and ended up being really entertained.

MrsCatHead- The reason I liked it so much is that it ISN"T like most bachelor party films. There was really no female gratuitous nudity, it didn't seem very chauvinistic- which is the reason that I can't stomach most bachelor party type films.

WitchyPoo and dragonflie, yes! That is exactly why I enjoyed it. I usually hate these type of movies, but I found this one funny and kind of sweet (even if I did look away at some of the more revealing scenes, like the one Bklynred mentioned, since I find those things sort of squicky). I thought the characters were all somewhat endearing rather than annoying, and more three dimensional than usual.

I agree dragonflie, I was totally expecting tits in my face every couple of minutes because I thought it would that type of movie.

The Rainman salute was hilarious, I also loved "I look like a nerdy hillbilly". Bradley Cooper is gorgeous, every time he was on screen, I would fantasize about running my fingers through his hair. Ken Jeong was hilarious. On Jimmy Kimmel, he said that it was his idea to be naked in that scene. He also said that he would make men feel good about themselves because his "package" was so small. Personally, I didn't think being naked added much to the scene. It would still get laughs if he had clothes on.

That's funny because if you saw the early trailers for the film, Ken is wearing briefs in that scene. In the movie he's naked as a jailbird.
