The Hangover
I just got back from The Hangover and honestly I wasn’t all that impressed. Did the movie make me laugh? Once or twice. For the past two weeks I have been hearing nothing but good reviews on this film. I was told this was the movie of 09 and it would make me laugh harder than Borat. With my diaper in hand I went into the movie theater ready for a show.
Sadly what I was treated to was a deflated guy movie full of nonsense and “dongage”. Now to be fair in my review, the rest of the crowd was in stitches for every joke and punchline. Why was it that everyone else found this movie absolutely hilarious and even clapped at the end while I was looking at my skinnier wallet wondering why I was let down so.
To answer that question I attribute it to “Overhype”. My expectations for this movie were too high almost guarenteeing that I would be let down. Every friend and associate told me this was THE MOVIE and that I would want to see it twice… Yet all I wanted was most of my money back. Honestly the funniest part to me (and quite clever might I add) was the credits.
Overhyping is a terrible thing. It ruins the credibility of many deserving products, performances or events. For example lets say you want a hamburger and you get the best hamburger ever, you will be happy. Now lets say you are told you will be served Filet Mignon, and the chef brings you out the best hamburger ever, you will be disappointed.
So just based on the audience reaction this movie would get a 5. Based on my reaction I would give it a 3. Lets meet half way and officially rate this movie a 4.
Rated 4 out of 5
