Funniest film of the 21st century so far!

Rating: 10/10 (23 November 2009)

I've paid to see "The Hangover" 13 times (my personal record for one title), so until a funnier flick comes along, it's my gold standard for what a modern comedy should be. A lot of folks would call this funny, but not the funniest. I can understand that perspective. And a lot of people who weren't laughing at all were attending weekend screenings I was at. I can only tell those who didn't bust a gut at this Vegas is hell story they should have stayed home and watched reruns of "Murder, She Wrote" or whatever crap they find entertaining. To keep seeing a film multiple times is to sometimes get a dream crowd and other days get a group of codgers who are simply at the wrong movie for them! Those Tuesday nights when the theatre was packed were amazing and the collective riotous laughter was louder than any other film I've been to besides "There's Something About Mary" and "This is Spinal Tap". I can only hope we get another collaboration from Phillips, Helms, Cooper, Galifianakis, Bartha and the rest of this band of lunatics. Best film of 2009!
