Funnier than I expected

Rating: 8/10 (7 February 2014)

I had only the vaguest impression of this movie when it came out. It was something about guys, and drinking, and hijinks, and whatever, or something. I thought it would be dumb and obnoxious. But after they made a couple of sequels I looked it up and saw that it had actually been well-received and was supposed to be quite funny. So I watched it.
The movie is something about guys and drinking, it is pretty dumb, and it is very funny. The idea of a group of guys waking up after a night of boozing with no memory of what happened and having to retrace their steps is done well, following a certain logic for all its craziness. The performances are quite good, and in spite of its mix of booze, drugs, prostitutes, boxes, tigers, chickens, and tasers, there's actually something kind of sweet about this story, although I'm not quite sure why.
Anyway, it's funny, watch it.
