Review of The Hangover

Rating: 4/10 (11 June 2009)

The Hangover is a bumpy, raucous, raunchy road trip.
It's also pretty forgettable.
A couple of Bufferins and you'll be ready for the next comedy. Why do movies about overindulgence have to be overindulgent? I get a kick in the comic solar plexus from reviewers who call The Hangover and its ilk, "instant classics." They must have seen only one or two movies in their meager critical careers. They certainly don't know what "classic" is, and they don't seem to know comedy. If something is supposed to be humorous, they laugh, like reflexive audience members, but intention is not execution.
