The Hangover

[Chef]

Best closing credits of any movie ever.

I concur.

I need to stop reading this thread. Starting to be some spoilers here.

if you've seen the trailer, you've seen the spoilers. And it doesn't matter; it's that funny, even if you know where the jokes are.

Critics I know said every funny moment was in the trailers.

Unless your critics found a 96-minute trailer, I disagree with them.

Critics I know said every funny moment was in the trailers.

Not even remotely close to being true... It would have been nice if they had kept the Tyson cameo a secret, but such is life...

I am usually a very harsh critic of comedies, but I laughed almost non-stop though this one.

 

[Some Guy]

Most of the actual movie critics I've read say it sucked. Which, of course, means it is awesome.

I still liked Old School better than the Hangover, but I've never laughed harder in a movie theater than I did the first time I watched American Pie.

Hangover made $43 million this weekend, more than twice than the monster-budget Land of the Lost...

Since no one in this movie is a big star (yet), I'm guessing there will be a Hangover 2 within the next 24 months.

Warner Bros asked the director and writer to start working on a script back in early April:

It's better than Old School...

Very, very funny movie, but it is no Old School.

Old School is ok, nothing more. Superbad, Wedding Crashers and Anchorman were far more enjoyable. Road Trip is below those three, but ahead of Old School.

I like all of the movies you mentioned here. I love one or two of them. Old School is the best of the bunch. And, to me, it really isn't that close.

EDIT: Whoa. Just noticed you said Road Trip is better than Old School? Road Trip? Now I KNOW you're on crack

Ferrill's character in Old School is like the one in Talladega Nights, Step Brothers, that figure skating movie. He'll run around semi-naked, yell and scream, make a few deck jokes. Who forking cares?

What do you want him to do, Shakespeare?

Funny is funny. So, yeah, I care.

Step Brothers was a piece of ship. Never saw Semi Pro, because I'm guessing it was just like Talladega Nights, and said figure skating flick.

What do I want him to do? I dunno. Maybe not make the same movie six times in a row. That'd be a start.

Saw Hangover on Sunday. In terms of first-viewing quality, I'd rank it below Superbad and Tropic Thunder. Still enjoyed the hell out of it. Don't know who fat Jesus was, but he was fantastic. Especially the interplay with the baby.

Here's a recent story on him in the NY Times: http://www.nytimes.com/2009/05/31/magazine/31Galifianakis-t.html?scp=4&sq=zach%20galif&st=cse

I've been a fan of Galifianakis since his movie back in the day, Out Cold.

My friend praised the movie. He damned the studio for putting all the good stuff in the trailers and killing laughs at its own movie.
