Can you say painful? I watched video a while back, but my wife and I decided last night we should watch it again. I don't necessarily want to spoil this movie for those who have not watched this, but I'll give you the jist. Four guys played by Zach Galifianakis (Alan), Bradley Cooper (Phil), Justin Bartha (Doug), and Ed Helms (Stu), all go on a trip to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. The groom after a while night of who knows what happened, goes missing and now they have to back track what happened. One of these guys, I won't say names, but thought it was a good idea to put drugs in everyone's drinks which explains why they can't remember what happened. Throughout this hilarious film you will see some well known comedians and actors like Jeffrey Tambor, Rachael Harris, and Ken Jeong. It's painful to watch because throughout the movie they do some…..let's say, not so rewarding ideas. You will see, til then, enjoy and thanks for reading #schroyerfamilydaily

In the case of The Hangover, Phillips made a decent diversion, but no classic; like its heroes you'll have a good time, then forget most of it when you wake up the following morning. It's a movie, not a film.

... I went in to The Hangover with low expectations but ended up laughing more times than I thought I would.

The Hangover isn't painful to watch. If friends drag you to this movie, you won't hate them afterwards. But maybe it'll seem a lot funnier if you are drinking.

Rated: C

Deep Focus Review

Temporary and fading, it limits itself with its reliance on gross-out humor; once you’ve seen the depravity onscreen, the shock no longer exists, making its rewatchability nil. You’ll laugh a lot the first time you see it but see it only once.

Rated: 3/4

Over at the Nevada Film Office, none of us staff members thought a little comedy with not-too- familiar stars would produce a Mike Tyson knock-out punch...

Gone With The Twins

It may not be the most groundbreaking comedy, but following the drunken leads' exploits in reverse is a formula for a great time.
