A comedy that is actually funny

Rating: 7/10 (9 February 2011)

One of the funniest comedies of the last years.
A group of friends get together to spend a weekend in Las Vegas at a bachelor party before the wedding of one of them. What happens the morning after their first night in Las Vegas, where none of them remembers what has happened, the future groom is missing, have a baby to take care of, and a tiger to get ride off , is the beginning of the adventure.
It's one of those Hollywood comedies that uses well known comedy elements and gives them a an original irreverent twist.
I think it's a great idea that we don't know what happened during the night at all, so the craziness of the day gets the spectator intrigued and enjoying the development of the crazy events. I loved the last minutes of the movie in which a sliding photo presentation tells the viewer in images what really happened that night, putting everything into place and placing all the pieces of the jigsaw in their proper space.
The actors are all terrific, funny, charming and believable in their colorful and archetypal roles. However, are the script and the movie director the ones to be congratulated as it is thanks to them that the comedy is fresh, truly funny and engaging without falling into vulgarity. Moreover, and despite being a comedy full of men, this is not an Alfa-male comedy. The result is a cheeky irreverent and daring male comedy that will enthuse both men and women.
I had an awesome time, and I really laughed, which doesn't happen that often with comedies lately.
