After a weak start - just great.

Rating: 7/10 (15 December 2009)

Recap: It's two days before Doug's wedding and he and three friends head to Las Vegas for the bachelor-party. But you know what they say, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. And now this almost literally comes true as the three friends wakes up in the morning after, with no memories at all and Doug completely gone. The three friends now must retrace their steps from their wild night in order to find their lost groom. And what about the tiger in the bathroom?
Comments: Actually not what I expected. I did expect a high paced almost silly comedy from the get go. Surprisingly it started out quite slow with a long and detailed introduction and explanation how they got to Vegas. That almost became boring.
Then it started for real. And it was really funny, but it didn't go off in that pace I expected. But I'm not sure that's a bad thing. Instead it changes pace from moment to moment, really making the audience pay attention. And it really takes off in totally unexpected directions, some quite hilarious.
Surprisingly enough there is a collecting thought behind it that even if doesn't seem so at times directs the heading of the story and neatly ties everything together in the end. Well, everything except the rooster, I guess.
A really good and fitting cast with actors I recognized but couldn't quite place in the leads. They did very well though. It felt like they did have some good chemistry between them, and apparently some of them have made movies before.
I liked this movie. I liked it a lot. It had just the right level and amount of humor. Just the right kind of absurd humor that suit me just right. Now it they just had skipped, or at least shortened the introduction everything would have been just great. Now they have something to work on for the sequel A strong 7/10
