The only good thing about this coming out is that I can now spoil it immediately for everybody. Posted on: 5 June 2009, 10:30:56
Okay, guys, you gotta' go see The Hangover. I loved it, it was a great movie, and Zach Galifianakis is super-effin'-stellar in it. Ed Helms is good, too. And Bradley Cooper. Basically, the three main guys you'll be watching are all great. It was really funny and even though some jokes were juvenile stuff, the movie as a whole was just quality stuff and really enjoyable. Haha, we were gonna' see it last night, but it didn't work out. We were going to an 11:30 showing since one of our friends was begging us to wait until he was off of work, which wasn't until 11. So, we waited for him and he said he'd meet us there. We find out it's sold out, and we're all pissed because our late friend (Darryn) made us wait for this show and we wouldn't have missed it if we had gone to an earlier one. So Darryn still isn't there, and we decide to head home and tell him that we're waiting for him in the theater to make him drive out there anyway. Turns out when he gets there and finds out it's sold out, he begs them to let him in because his "friends were already inside and holding him a seat." And they gave him a ticket. They let him in. The irony stung a bit. But yeah, he found out we weren't actually there and got pissed off at us and came back, effectively wasting eight bucks on a ticket. He apparently felt stupid staying by himself. Also I don't think there were any seats. ANYWAY. Like I said, we saw it today and it was great. It wasn't outstanding or anything groundbreaking, but like I said, it was quality and definitely a great movie. The best part is that it's NOTHING like an Apatow comedy, which everyone is probably so sick of by now. It's really a breath of fresh air at this point in time. Also, best end-credits sequence ever. Even better than the dicks in Superbad. Or the art timeline in Wall-E. |

I saw The Hangover tonight and really liked it except for something I'll get to in a minute. It had a couple references to Old School which I think I might've been the only person in the theatre who noticed. My friends didn't anyway.
OOK so the only things I didn't like were actually not in the movie. It was the people to my front left. Some lady and some dude brought their kid to the movie. Did I say kid? I meant baby. They brought their baby. A goshdamn baby.
And I don't mean one of these crying little babies, THAT would have been better. I mean one of these new-to-talking little #####en babies that will say like "baba" or "mama" loudly enough, but ALSO the type of new-to-talking baby that knows some things so when another baby comes on screen (which from the commercials you know there is one) the baby in the theatre yells "It's a baby! A baby!"
Now that would be annoying enough if this was a PG-13 movie or something else a baby shouldn't be at, but this movie is rated R in Ontario (that's "Restricted", 18 and over ONLY, but I guess babies aren't people or something), and this is clearly a baby who is able to learn words like the different F words and then probably WILL repeat them. Who the hell brings a baby to see The Hangover? That's not even a decision it's just don't do it. Did this couple honestly NEED to see The Hangover badly enough that they had to bring the baby when they couldn't find a sitter?
...
NO THEY DIDN'T AND I'LL TELL YOU WHY. They were talkers. Uhhhhhggggh#####ing talkers. And not little whispers that are fine by me. I mean the kind of talkers who full voice say things like "Oh he's making it up" when you'd actually have to be their BABY to not understand that a man is lying to his girlfriend over the phone. I don't mind so much when people are talking in the theatre (although it is completely #####ing rude) compared to people that say completely obvious things in life. And when they say completely obvious things in a movie theatre it really grinds on how much I'm enjoying the movie. This dude actually caused to stop laughing at one part because he explained an extremely obvious joke out loud. And he did it to himself, it's not even like someone didn't get it which at least I would understand.
Not that this happens in The Hangover, but imagine someone getting a pie to the face and then you laughing (because that IS hilarious) and the dude to the front left of you goes "He got hit in the face with a pie" and he's not even saying it in a holy ##### did you see that way, he's just sort of saying what just happened. INSTANT mood killer. If I wanted a description I'd have read the script, which they obviously sent to me since they wanted me to play Mike Tyson's bit, but I was already involved with Shrek 7.
But you know, maybe I'm fighting a losing battle here because I could tell from the woman's ultra classy trucker hat that they were clearly the toast of the town.
