Can I have that hour and half of my life back please?

Rating: 2/10 (1 January 2010)

When the movie was first released and I saw the trailer, I wasn't impressed. After it was released on DVD and I saw that 90,000+ IMDb users had rated it at 8.0, I thought maybe I missed something and should give it a chance. I did give it a chance; I didn't miss anything. Wow, what a waste of time. There were a few jokes and a few situations that hit the mark, but mostly it left my group shaking our collective heads and wishing we could have that hour and a half of our lives back. The premise was promising; 3 friends plus an odd-ball brother-in-law in Vegas for a bachelor party (although for most of the time, it's just 3 since the groom-to-be goes missing) that goes awry. But out of the 3 remaining prominent characters, only 2 of them are interesting on any level. Bradley Cooper's school teacher is supposed to be the straight-man in the group that plays off the wackiness of the others, but he adds no comedic value and the other 2 aren't wacky enough, with a few exceptions, to be funny on their own.
