Definitely over-hyped

Rating: 6/10 (20 January 2010)

It's hard for me to believe that this movie has a rating of 8 stars, while I feel that I'm being extremely generous giving it 6 stars. It kind of reminds me of when I saw Slumdog Millionaire last year which was also a movie that was over-hyped until it actually won the best picture award. That was a complete travesty. This movie, though not nearly as bad as Slumdog, certainly doesn't deserve the praise that I've been hearing.
It won the Golden Globe award a few nights ago for "Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy". Now that I've seen it, that is so hard to believe. The only other movie that was nominated in that category that I have watched so far was "Julie & Julia", which I thought was a better movie. I'm sure that after I see the other movies nominated in that category, there will probably be a couple more that I would rate higher than "The Hangover". I can't say that positively, but I feel pretty certain that will be the case.
This movie, like Slumdog will be forgotten in a few years by most, but will still unfortunately be in the record books. And all the 10 star ratings? I think a lot of people saw this movie drunk because they felt that it was the appropriate thing to do!
