The hangover
From the trailers I had decided not to bother with ‘the hangover’ as it really didn’t look my kind of film, I do like a good comedy but I’m not a big fan of over the top American humour. However after strong reviews and a good IMDB rating (normally a good indication of whether a film is good or bad) I thought I would give it a go and I was quite optimistic I would enjoy it.
My very basic plot synopsis is the film basically follows 4 guys on a stag do in Vegas. We don’t actually see the stag night itself, we see them just before the night out and then we catch up with them the morning after the night before. None of them can remember what went on during the night and worse of all they have lost the groom. That’s the set up, the rest of the film is about find Doug (the groom) and finding what went on during the night.
There are some genuinely funny moments that made me laugh and overall I was entertained which is why I have rated it fairly well (a generous 7/10) but I have seen much better comedies and much better films. Not a bad watch, some people seemed to think it was hilarious but it just didn’t tick all the boxes for me and how it got to 130 in IMDB top 250 films (as of the time of writing) I’ll never know.
