Better than it has any right to be

Rating: Null/10 (25 June 2011)

Because I've never drank alcohol a day in my life, or don't know what it's like to be a drunk, I didn't think this movie would appeal to me, at least in terms of entertainment. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked it. I can't say there are any big laughs, but I smiled a lot, and didn't feel like I was enduring these characters, rather than enjoying what they were doing. I do think a lot of critics are gave this movie too much credit. I can't see how this is great, rather than merely good. Another thing: The night before the hangover, these guys sure don't do a lot of drinking. I'm thinking to myself: "Small glasses? That's it?" I expected to see something more along the lines of, say, a lot of drinking at some party. Still, the movie never lets up, and that's enough to recommend it.
*** out of ****
