The Hangover

The movie The Hangover is just outstanding and hilarious. It's one of the few comedies that I'm VERY happy I saw in a theater rather than waiting for it on DVD. It's one of the few comedies where the side characters are all funny. I really don't think I went more than 5 minutes without viewing something I thought was funny.

All the actors in it play up their characters very well. Zach Galifinakis (Or however you spell it) is just outstanding. I've always found him hilarious, his stand-up while he plays piano is just amazing. His character is the bride's brother who is thrown in with the groom's other friends for a complete shit-show in Vegas. The movie I find really funny because you can definitely relate to trying to piece together a night after tenaciously drinking yourself into a near coma. Galifinakis just kills it the entire movie. He goes to all lengths for his craft, which brings me to my next paragraph.

The only downfall is the amount of man-bits shown on camera. It's often funny, but it's still a little bit out of hand. Forgetting Sarah Marshall set a miserable standard of male nudity in movies. I've never denied that it's often hilarious, but looking at dicks is not too great in my book. I believe this is the first film that had more dong in it than boobs that I've ever seen. NOTE: Leave posts on this one to yourselves.

Bottom Line 9.5 out of 10. Legitimately one of the funniest films that I've ever witnessed.

Side Notes: I'm pretty excited for John Gruden to be on MNF. He's brutally honest and a football genius. Bottom Line: He's already 20 times better than Kornheiser or Theismann.

Tony Romo was golfing in my hometown this weekend. SP rocks.

Even if Kobe wins he's not close to the same caliber as Jordan. Hopefully he doesn't because watching him fail brings me joy, I apologize in advance for this. I can't explain my hatred for Kobe other than I always thought he was a selfish douchy prick when he first entered the league, then the whole rape thing ruined him in my eyes. He seems like a better person, but I don't forget things like that. He better do more charity work than Chris Paul and Warrick Dunn combined to get off my shit-list.

Just bought my first digital camera, I'm pretty pumped.

  1. How do you know if the movie was good or not? You were prolly jerking often Schmitt and Thompson the whole time.
