So I finally saw the Hangover, two weeks in, and it was very good. A lot of fun. It's been number 1 for the past two weeks and I really like that America appreciates this movie, because it's funny and daring like Superbad, and not the least bit afraid or trying to hold back.
The movie has the four guys in Vegas trying to piece together what happened the night before, and it works as a sort of mystery, but also as a setup for more and more ridiculous things to happen that just add more mayhem to the fire. And as the movie goes on, all things are explained although more and more complications also arise. Like Mike Epps appearing as the black Doug.
In the end, the movie is funny because the characters are funny and the situations they get themselves into are ridiculously funny. Zach Galiphanucus is really great. I know this guy is a standup comedian, but I never heard his name before and after this movie, I think he's going to be appearing in many more films. The same goes for Ed Helms. And Bradley Cooper is ready to become an A list star. All because this movie is good in a time when most movies are lousy. I put this one right next to Superbad. And both movies have relatively simple plots, but endless supplies of humor.
