The Hangover

I'm not much of a masochist, but I have to say that seeing Bradley Cooper get tazed in the nads really got a chuckle out of me. I'm kind of a comedy snob and most of today's tripe that the Industry dresses up as comedy doesn't really do it for me. So I was pleasantly surprised that I found this one to be refreshingly funny.

Starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zack Galifianakis, the Hangover is a comedy about a trio of groomsmen who take the groom to Las Vegas for his bachelor party. Cut to the next morning, to find a tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet, Stu (Ed Helms) missing a tooth, and the groom just plain missing. Of course, none of the three can remember anything about the previous night. And so begins a retracing of their wild night using clues they discover along the way.

Featuring appearances by Heather Graham, Rob Riggle, Mike Epps, and Jeffrey Tambor, the Hangover is a hilarious lesson in what not to do while in Vegas. There's a quickie wedding to a prostitute, Mike Tyson shadow drumming to Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight", a stolen police cruiser, and a Fat Jesus. Oh, and for god's sake, whatever you do, don't open the trunk!

I will be buying this movie once it's out on dvd. I suggest you at least bootleg a copy and have a look-see. I promise you won't be disappointed. And I leave you with this bit of wisdom, directly from the movie. "Tigers love pepper. They hate cinnamon."

Look at that - a movie that's both funny and informative.

And in the words of Mr. Chow - Toodle-oo, Motha Fuckas!
