Carl the Critic: The Hangover

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2010)

Ah Todd Philips. Oh I remember when you were just beginning in the business. You've made such timeless classics as "Road Trip," "Starsky and Hutch," and of course "Old School." But now you have a new title, a new story, and cast of new comers who work well together on the big screen. The acting and dialogue is very clever, and the stories twist was the best twisted ending of the year. I particularly enjoyed how the drug ruffian and roof were tied in together to make the twist in the end even more spectacular than anyone could hope for.
The films swearing could have been toned down a tad, and the film does drag on some scenes but then when you least expect it BOOM! out of no where there's a tiger in the bathroom. I also feel that the film's realistic style gives it a greater sense of humor (because things are funnier if they seem like they are really happening.)
Keep it up, make more great films, and you are awesome!
