The Hangover
I had the honor to see this film with a local community theater actor who participates in live action movie re-enactments. These are the people you hear about that perform films like the Rocky Horror Picture Show live in the theater as the movie is rolling.
Unfortunately, this actor had the role of Doug and had to “pretend” he was passed out on the floor of the theater for much of the movie and missed actually watching it. The local press gave him rave reviews as “the most realistic drunk passed out on a theater floor ever seen. Why wasn’t he arrested?” So, he wanted to actually see the movie and joined me for a vieweing.
Anyway, The Hangover tells the tale of a bachelor party that goes awry. You’d think the demographic of this film would be males ages 21-45. But, judging by the kids parents brought to the theater this day, the film is clearly meant for girls ages 6-11. I mean, with male and female nudity and explicit oral sex, who wouldn’t bring their little girls to see this heart warming tale.
The movie is solid and delivers solid laughs. Zach Galifornicationakis stands out playing himself as the retarded brother of the bride to be that gets invited out of sense of guilt. And the chicken’s nuanced performance really drives the point home.
And what was the point? Well, that hangover’s are bad. Actually, that isn’t the point because everyone is drinking again by the next day. So, I guess the point is…. hangover’s are awesome.
