I have been reviewing Pakistani dramas for a while so for a change lets talk about a hollywood flick. I watched this movie last weekend .. its pretty old though. released back in 2009 the movie is about 4 friends , who, as a traditional american ritual, goes for a bachelor party to vegas , one of their friend adds a drug to their drink so they dont actullay remember what happend last nite when they wake.. and this is where this movie becomes hilarious. they wake up with a tiger in the washroom…. a 4 months baby in the fridge and the groom missing!!!! what follows after is a freaking funny hillarious roller coster ride…
it’s funny as hell. Any movie that can weave a baby, a missing tooth, and Mike Tyson into its plot is comedic gold. Second, the cast perfectly play off each other. Bradley Cooper’s sleazy outspoken Phil, The Office’s Ed Helms’s whipped but goodhearted Stu, Zach Galifanakis’s indescribable Alan and Justin Bartha as Doug, the Groom, pull off each gag (No matter how gross), insult and wisecrack with great comedic timing. Third, Director, Todd Philips and Screenwriters, John Lucus and Scott Moore used a different approach to tell a standard comedic story. They focus on the characters finding out what happened at the Bachelor Party instead of seeing their antics that night. Their reactions to their antics in scenes such as when Phil, Stu and Alan go to the hospital to find Doug or seeing themselves on Tyson’s security cameras are hilarious. I especially, enjoyed the twists and turns in the story such as what happened to Doug during the Bachelor Party. It was great to see some surprises in a comedy instead of the standard set-up the joke plotting. The Hangover’s success proves that not only do audiences want to laugh at the movies but also want to see well-made comedies.
not to forget… just like the OLD Indian Copy act…. Bollywood has bought the rights of this movie to remake it in Hindi. which i am sure will be funny but nothing at all compared to the original, The Original Version was made with a budget of $35 Million, and as far as i know, it has already made $500.0 million… 5 Stars!!!!
PS: this is not a Chick flick movie… typical male comedy, so its something that i would want the girls to refrain from.. I am not saying that you cant watch it.. but i dont know how my desi females would react to it!!
