Top 250?! you got be kidding!

Rating: 6/10 (14 June 2009)

I didn't plan on seeing the movie in theaters but after everybody telling me the movie was the funniest movie they had seen in years and even IMDb having it in the top 250 I thought I would give a try.
I saw the trailer for the Hangover months ago and my immediate impression was not full of high expectations. Everybody who has been completely hammered before knows that even on their worst night of drinking you usually don't wake up with a baby in the closet and a tiger in the bathroom. The comedy just seemed a bit far stretched and forced.
I did laugh pretty hard for the first 10 minutes but after the beginning the humor dwindled. Halfway through the movie my friend leaned over and commented on how ridiculous the storyline was and I couldn't agree more.
The annoying thing about the movie was that the humor was not intelligent (except for Zack Galifianakis). If your a fan of Zack G. then you know his stand-up is brilliant and hilarious but the movie as a whole will let you down. Though i will say Zach G. made the movie worth watching.
I was hoping to see a movie that topped Wedding Crashers or Pineapple Express but the movie didn't even come close. The movie was not horrible but top 250 come on!? thats insulting.
If your a big fan of intelligent comedies I wouldn't waste your time at the theater and wait for it to come out on DVD. This movie is a classic case of mainstream comedy that will top the box offices but just doesn't deliver.
