dvd review: The Hangover
You might have noticed I'm rather enamored with the Golden Globes, even though I don't usually agree with their winners. After hearing people rave about The Hangover being THE FUNNIEST MOVIE EVER since last summer, I tried to go in with low expectations. It was the last film I saw in the Best Picture, Comedy or Musical category, and I already had my favorites ( It's Complicated and Nine) and my least favorite, why in the world was this film nominated (500) Days of Summer , but I still didn't think The Hangover was a real contender for Best Picture. Obviously, I was wrong. It won. The Hangover , of course, is a film about a bachelor party gone horribly, horribly wrong. Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis wake up in Vegas with a tiger in the bathroom, a baby, a missing tooth, and a missing groom. The three set off to figure out what the hell happened last night. Overall, it's an okay movie. For me, the humor was more abstract than actually laugh...
