"It's funny because he's fat!" - Mr Chow
Most of the jokes spawn from this fact. And other stupid stuff. But mostly from Zach Galifianakis. And his rotundity. And it's thankful that he's funny enough to carry it off. Alan is one of the best comic creations of the last few years. Whether he stands the test of time is another question.
I used to give this four and a half stars, but since I hate Mike Tyson and his…

So The Hangover has always held a special place in my heart because it was one of the first R rated movies I saw in theatres and it also introduced me to these three actors who were pretty well unknowns before this. So that is why The Hangover is one of all time favourites.
Let's start off with the acting. It's all actually really good and the actors I feel are all perfect playing there parts. Bradley Cooper as Phil…

I ran the gamut of emotions from angry to bloody angry.
Pretty much every comedy released by Hollywood in the last 7 or 8 years has looked like something I would hate with a passion. I haven't seen a single Judd Apatow film for instance because, for some reason, I just don't think I will find them even slightly funny. I did wonder if it was because I didn't have a sense of humour any more or something. But I…

In anticipation for The Hangover Part 3 (which half of me is excited for, and the other half is really skeptical), I knew I had to revist this film.
Thanks to the underwhelming sequel, I nearly completely forgot how freaking awesome this movie is. Right from the start, this movie is hysterical from beginning to end. While, yes the plot isn't all that originial, the movie makes up for it being consistently hilarious, and featuring a clever screenplay. It also…

I actually went into this expecting the worst considering this is largely hailed by the same crowd that worships the abysmal Project X, but I'm pleasantly surprised by saying this; it ain't all that bad.
That doesn't mean it is good, but at no point in the film did I get the sudden urge to kill and feast on the flesh of any of the characters, unlike when I watched Project X. For the most part The Hangover is fairly… -
Hilarious from beginning to end. Each member of the cast, especially Zach Galifanakis who clearly steals the show and makes the movie, has perfect comedic timing. The script is clever, gut bustingly funny, and just the right level of raunch. Never becomes too raunchy. Hilarious cameo from Mike Tyson, though I wish he was'nt in the trailer because I would have liked it to be more of a surprise. Laugh out loud funny and highly entertaining.

The Hangover is one of the most overrated comedies of all time in my opinion. Never at one point did I laugh out loud while watching this film, there are only mildly funny moments. It ultimately comes off as acting as if it's much funnier than it is, which became very irritating after a while. Much of the film relies on shock-value, not genuine laughs. Overall, not a horrible film, but a very overrated one.
