How to Make a Movie like "The Hangover"

Rating: 1/10 (16 August 2010)

A few helpful suggestions for how to make a movie as successful as "The Hangover":
1) Don't make your characters likable. Instead, make them annoying, selfish, and petty.
2) Don't be afraid to indulge in a little sexism. "The Hangover" is a movie for the guys, and many guys secretly harbor low opinions of the women they date, marry, or otherwise know. Provide some female characters who can confirm these opinions: an annoying harridan of a fiancée, a stripper, etc.
3) Don't be afraid of a little racism either. If all your stars are white, you can expect your audience to be white, so it's okay to show off some stereotypes of Asians and Latinos in your film.
4) Don't make it funny! This is the most important one. Rather than clever jokes or memorable slapstick routines, provide your viewers with painful gags, obvious one-liners, and grating sarcasm, while generally soaking your film with a feeling of negativity. Abuse your characters, actors, and audience as much as possible. You will only hurt them because you love them so much.
