A fun time

Rating: Null/10 (18 June 2009)

Jon Lucas & Scott Moore have written a delightful comedy. I liked the movie better than the title.
Given today's marketplace of coming of age comedies, teen comedies, young adult comedies and just plain old comedies, The Hangover succeeds.
It doesn't have the novelty effect of 40 Year Old Virgin or of The Wedding Crashers, but still I thought it was enjoyable to watch.
The actors live up to the well written script.
Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, Heather Graham, Sasha Barrese, Jeffrey Tambor work very well together. As well as with the director, Todd Phillips.
As the director, Phillips does a very nice job of having his actors involved in comedic antics, while moving the story along at a nice pace.
I believe that it was at the top of the charts when it first opened and that it has been doing pretty well since.
