Author Topic: The Hangover Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 06-05-2009 03:25 AM                        Without question the funniest movies I've seen since Superbad. I was laughing almost the whole way through. The movie is well made and not nearly as sophomoric as you might think from the previews and title. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes a good adult comedy. And you'll definitely want to stay for the pictures during the credits.  |  IP: Logged Patrick de Groot Expert Film Handler Posts: 161 From: Sprang-Capelle, Netherlands Registered: Apr 2001 posted 06-06-2009 06:56 PM                     Not the typical brave Hollywood comedy. I rate a movie by genre and this one is very good. Stupid situations everywhere. Unpredicatable and funny.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Garman Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1470 From: Toledo, OH USA Registered: Mar 2003 posted 06-07-2009 10:05 PM                     Cinemark Movies 14, Mishawaka, IN Auditorium 14: DTS Presentation: Good, slight hum in front channels. Fader way too low. Fairly funny. I don't think it has been as funny as most folks are making it out to be, but the leads did perform well. Usually for comedy, I rate it good or bad based on if I'd like to see it again. I really don't feel like seeing this one again.

Wackiness ensues. I'll make this simple...Almost nobody laughed at anything except the credits. Spoiler Alert - Click to Toggle Since Tyson didn't tell them and they didn't remember anything, how did they know how to get to Tyson's house to return the tiger?  |  IP: Logged Kyle Anderson Film Handler Posts: 86 From: Tyler, TX, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 06-13-2009 03:04 AM                     It is a mansion... probly looked it up on celebs.com or something silly.  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 06-13-2009 03:24 AM                        quote: Sam Graham I'll make this simple...Almost nobody laughed at anything except the credits. I have to ask how many people were in the showing you went to, because this just isn't typical. Every single time I've checked the auditorium over the last week, I have heard most of the audience laughing at many different parts of the movie. As for your spoiler question, it simply wasn't explained and that's just fine. There were many many questions left unanswered in this movie and it's better for not trying to answer all of them.  |  IP: Logged Sam Graham AKA: "The Evil Sam Graham". Wackiness ensues. Posts: 1431 From: Waukee, IA Registered: Dec 2004 posted 06-13-2009 06:28 PM                        1. More than a dozen, less than fifty. 2. I'm already sorry I asked.  |  IP: Logged Caleb Johnstone-Cowan Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 593 From: London, UK Registered: Mar 2006 posted 06-15-2009 06:38 PM                     I laughed the entire way through, as did the 150 odd people in the late show I saw. So many funny situations along with down-to-earth and believable characters makes for a great film. Really surprised at how good this was. And Heather Graham looks fantastic, cannot believe she is 39. Also does anyone know what happened to the chicken?  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

The baby thing had me going. Question: Spoiler Alert - Click to Toggle Did they not show in the pictures how he earned a trip to the hospital or did I and everyone with me miss it?  |  IP: Logged Chris Slycord Film God Posts: 2986 From: 퍼항시, 경상푹도, South Korea Registered: Mar 2007 posted 06-17-2009 08:08 AM                     I laughed throughout as well. Awesomely stupid movie. Chad, You didn't miss anything.  |  IP: Logged Kyle Anderson Film Handler Posts: 86 From: Tyler, TX, USA Registered: Dec 2005 posted 06-18-2009 06:25 PM                     Spoiler Alert - Click to Toggle I think the trip to the hospital was when he kidnapped mr. chow to take him home as his "lucky charm"  |  IP: Logged Jim Bedford Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 597 From: Telluride, CO, USA (733 mi. WNW of Rockwall, TX but it seems much, much longer) Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-25-2009 10:27 AM                        I thought there was less here than met the eye initially. A bunch of good lines and manic scenes (don't open a car's trunk if you don't know what's in there) interspersed with lame codas that don't string it together. But do stay for the credits. I bet without the wedding and pix at the end the film would not have done as well at the BO or with reviewers. There are sporadic laughs throughout the film but when the credits happen people laugh for three minutes solid. Me too.  |  IP: Logged
