Much more fun than I thought it would be!

I really appreciated that this offbeat little comedy was told without words that needed to be bleeped out or without innuendos or scenes that no one else needs to see.
May I suggest to film makers and Hollywood, that this example be followed.
Thank you. I will be looking for more of your films and tell others.
What's great about it: Unexpectedly hilarious...
What's not so great: No Blu-ray version as of yet
I would recommend this to a friend!

ost great comedies are based on fundamental truths -- we find a deal of humour in the illumination of our own human tragedy. Office Space is funny, for example, because we've all worked that type of job, put up with that type of boss, and suffered that type of monotonous everyday boredom.
Todd Phillips' new movie, The Hangover, is as aptly titled as anything else released this year: it's about a Vegas bachelor party gone horribly awry, in which the groom inexplicably disappears, no one can remember a damned thing, and Mike Tyson wants his tiger back.
Yes, we've all had those nights, though perhaps not to such extremes (that's where the exaggeration of comedy serves us). The Hangover is funny because it takes this cultural ritual -- an American tradition; something almost all of us can relate to -- and finds genuine humour in the pain of its aftermath.
I concede that bachelor party movies are not in short supply; the genre (if it is, indeed, a genre) should have probably both begun and ended with the Tom Hanks flick almost three decades ago. But The Hangover wisely studies the day after rather than the day itself; this is funnier because the plot works backwards, without tacky flashbacks, and much of the evening in question is left to our imagination.
What's great about it: Acting.
What's not so great: Over-rated
I would recommend this to a friend!
