Evoked more anger than laughs

Rating: 1/10 (4 February 2010)

Probably the worst picture of the year for me in terms of disappointed expectations. I didn't laugh once during the entire length of this so-called comedy. Witless, charmless, without one likable character in its ensemble cast, I was especially dumbfounded by the hype accorded to Zach Galifianakis, whose lack of talent somehow manages to make Adam Sandler look like a comic genius.
"The Hangover" is obviously targeted to an audience who likes their humor broad and sophomoric. To make matters worse, it relies heavily on obnoxious stereotypes that are patently offensive.
This piece of dreck utterly pales in comparison to a similar buddy flick, the eminently watchable "I Love You, Man." "The Hangover" was an utter waste of time and money. Caveat emptor.
