John A Massie's Review

Summary - Really Great 4.5

Weird, random, surreal yet realistic, with a believable humanity to the characters, and most importantly constantly funny throughout. The Hangover is pretty much everything I want in a comedy.

Acting - Perfect 5.0

The three leads were all gave fantastic performances (although the casting people desrve some of this credit because they were all perfectly cast) and even the supporting cast managed to keep up with them.

Film - Great 4.0

Wasn’t the biggest fan of some of the music, it seemed like some of the songs were chosen almost at random and then kept if they remotely fit witht he scene. A couple good musical choices but also quite a few that seemed out of place. No complaints about anythign else, but a special mention to how well written the film was.

Edge - Horrid 3.7

Crude, but in a good, funny way. Little bit of blood. Little bit of nudity both male, and female. Some harsh language. Nothing that you shouldn’t expect from a comedy about a bacholer party in Vegas.

Reality - Surreal 3.0

While everything in this film could happen, its unlikely that it would all happen to one group of people. But thats the point really, every weird Vegas story happening all at once.

  Regarding Wick’s Review
  Just realized that my original review broke down the LOL, WTF and Clunker slices so they only added up to 90%. Whoops. Thinking more about it, I figure it was roughly 50% LOL, not 40% as I originally posted, so the whole thing adds up to 100% now.

  I guess that addition stuff got away from me there for a while.
