The Hangover (Todd Phillips, 2009)

It's funny but it's just this celebration of these male rites of passage that I want nothing to do with (and yet somehow get roped into doing anyway). And there's this kind of awful attitude in the characters and it's so one-dimensional and its laughs just consist of nothing but one crazy thing happening after the other. Yeah, it's VEGAS. Whatever. Bradley Cooper plays a huge asshole convincingly, Ed Helms plays Ed Helms convincingly, Zach Whatshisname kind of sucks and his awkwardness and stupidity is supposed to be funny, I guess, but it's really not. I don't know. Maybe I should've watched it with my bros or something and we could've all had fun calling each other gay or something. Yeah, there's something to think about.

I like that you gave ET an A+. It's totally deserving.
Yeah, it's awesome.

It's Spielberg's best.
It might be, I always think of Jaws as number 1, but now I'm not so sure.

It's not perfect, but it certainly was pretty compelling.
Yep. I liked it more than I thought I would.

But, then again, my favourite comedy of the moment is I Don't Want to Sleep Alone, so I don't know what I was expecting.

Actually, the complete opposite is true. It's the third worst film I've had the displeasure of watching, right behind Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

It's Spielberg's best.

roujin, you're makin' me sad  :'(  :'(  :'(

But then you post things like this and things get all better. Spot on about Zach G as well. It's a pretty piss poor film.
