Not you, Fat Jesus!

Oh Internet, how i love the summer and its mindless movie fun! And let me tell you, it doesn't get more mindless than Todd Phillip's The Hangover!

Doug is getting married in a few days. But before getting hitched comes the bachelor party! And so, filled with the promise of a memorable night, Doug, his friends Phil and Stu and his soon-to-be brother-in-law Alan head to the best place in the world to have a bachelor party (because everything stays there), Vegas. The following morning, the boys wake up in their Hurricane-Katrina-level-of-destroyed hotel room without a single memory of the previous night. And missing the groom. Hilarity ensues as the three trashed amigos attempt to retrace their drunken steps in hopes of finding Doug before the wedding.

The Hangover is crude, infantile, idiotic and sometimes even morally wrong....and I LOVED it! Of course, its made of the same basic elements as any Frat Pack movie : innapropriate nudity, projectile vomiting, racial stereotypes, random-but-kickass cameos (Mike Tyson!!! Mike Tyson SINGING PHIL COLLINS!!!), etc. However, the hijinks Alan, Stu and Phil get into are so outrageous, they actually manage to suprise and make you feel as if you haven't seent his movie a dozen times already (which is incredibly refreshing). One more reason to love The Hangover is because it doesn't hide what it is. Instead of feeding us some lame morality such as 'Bros before hoes' or 'Wow, my life doesn't suck that hard', Todd Phillips simply leaves it at that : one wild weekend that, once remembered, will not easily be forgotten...actually, scratch that. There is a morality to it: Stop finding the meaning in everything! Sometimes, silly jokes are just silly jokes! Except for the old man getting a prostrate exam....that was just unnecessary!

Props to Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis for looking like the most effed up guys I've ever seen. Evidently, the movie was well-titled. As Alan, Galifianakis steals the show with his underplayed, almost naive performance of the socially-akward, almost retarded loner (re: his hilarious 'Wolf pack' speech), even though some jokes felt too stupid, even for him ('Is this really Caesar's Palace? Did he live here?).

Bradley Cooper, what happened? You use to be good guy Will on Alias and look at you now? Must you always play an asshole? Come on, man! I wanna like you again!

HEATHER GRAHAM!! YOU'RE ALIIIIVE!!! You're a hooker, but you're alive!!! Hopefully, we'll see you and your cheerful airheadedness in The Hangover 2!
