Film #17: The Hangover

So, yeah, Stefan and I saw this at Movies 10, surrounded by creatures of all ages, including a girl who repeated every funny line and image that crossed her brain. That was the least enjoyable part of the movie.

Sometimes when watching a movie like this you have to remember what it's purpose is: to entertain you and make you laugh ... and probably to make you a little uncomfortable, too. Especially if you're a woman.

I have to break this down into the cast, because it really was pretty good.
Stu (Ed Helms) - I really think Ed Helms is a great character actor. He plays Andy Bernard brilliantly in The Office, and his character in The Hangover is similar, but with a little more of a deviant nature.
Alan (Zach Galifianakis) - The extreme character who pushes everything jut one step further. The stupid question isn't just stupid, it's ridiculous. Zach is a funny comedian in stand-up though.
Phil (Bradley Cooper) - Probably the Elizabeth Bennett of this movie. He's not perfect, but he's the one most people can relate to. Fairly reasonable character, kinda the leader.

This makes me want popcorn. Is that weird?
