Extremely funny

Rating: 8/10 (3 January 2013)

The Hangover is one of the best dumb movies I have watched in a long time. It is clearly superior to the six or seven other recent comedy films I have watched (dated from 2009 to 2012).
The plot is pure nonsense but it is executed quite brilliantly. Overall, a very funny movie and one that should be watched once, but never twice: the fun of these dumb comedies comes from the jokes, which are not funny in a second round. Recommended for everyone but doesn't expect anything artistically sound. In terms of artistic value I would rate this about 3/10, but since it doesn't try to be art it deserves the high score I gave it. At least this is anything but pretentious.
