The Hangover

[jordan kramer]

comes out on Friday. i really wanna see it, it's the first comedy i've been excited about this year. Zach Galifianakis is always funny, and Ed Helms is good. and effing Mike Tyson is in it! i wanna see this

[Tymaster]

Looks to be funny. I don't know if it's worth the $40 it would take for a date and I to go see it though. The movies are outrageous. I love going though! The trailers, the popcorn, the darkness, but in this economy, I only go for "must see" films. And those are to each their own. My last theatrical experience was Star Trek and my next one looks to be Johnny Depp portraying Dillinger

[mrburns]

I'm looking forward to this as well. Was a little wary at first, but it's pulling an early 95% on Rotten Tomatoes right now. That's really good, especially for an R-rated comedy.

Dude, you ain't kidding.

Took the wife and my two kids (3 and 5) to see Up this past weekend for a 12:40pm showing. $35.50 for the four of us to see that. For an effing matinee. Then another near $23.50 at the consession stand for four "small" drinks and two med popcorns. $60 freaking dollars for a family of four to see a movie.....plus another $41 for our lunch. $100 for an afternoon out at the movies.

Yet, I've heard recent radio reports that the movie industry THRIVED last year. The movies must be recession proof! Apparently, when the economy is down, the movies are A) an alternative to a "real" vacation (like a waterpark or cedar point etc.) and B) a nice relief from everyday stress, and finally C) the movies are always a great "babysitter" on Friday and Saturday nights for parents of teenagers.

But for my money, it better be something special. I've got home theatre dude!

I'm looking forward to this as well. Was a little wary at first, but it's pulling an early 95% on Rotten Tomatoes right now. That's really good, especially for an R-rated comedy.

The movie critic on my favorite morning show (wags and elliott on wlvq www.qfm96.com for those that give a hoot) said it was INCREDIBLE. He went on to say that Will Ferrell's "Land of the Lost" was terribly awful and gave it 1 out of 10 starts. LOL.

Probably why Ferrell's been EVERYWHERE promoting the shit out of it. Could tell it was going to be terrible when I first heard about it, even before the trailer came out. Even Kenny Powers can't save it. The Hangover on the other hand, looks hilarious. Just glad we get to see the Sackster again and I want to see anything with Zach Galifinakis.

Aside from lampooning Dubya PERFECTLY I don't find Ferrell all that amusing. Like most SNL actors who leave the show for Hollywood, they are one trick ponies who quickly get played out and jump the shark.

Thing with Ferrell is that he started taking more risks and doing parts that don't fit him. Personally I've seen a change with him during appearance and the like in that he tries to do satirical humor more now rather than the over-the-top Frank the Tank type stuff.

Funny thing is, if the real Will Ferrell was still alive, The Hangover would have been a GREAT film for him. To the Ferrell now, he's more focused on cashing in rather than making entertaing shit.

Wish he would come back...

I agree when he does comedy, it's the same character everytime (and at the beginning those characters were all classic; Ron Burgundy, Frank the Tank, Ricky Bobby), but he isn't a one-trick pony. Just watch Stranger than Fiction or Melinda and Melinda. He's got some range.

[Bill the Butcher]

Just got back from seeing it.

I'm not the one to come home and claim it to be the "greatest movie ever", but it certainly is hilarious.

"Maybe we can call 'em Rapies?"

[Bill the Butcher]

Oh, also -- and this is a bit of a tangent -- I think Rachael Harris (yes, the bitch... she plays a very good bitch) is really, really hot.

Oooooweeee.

Hey I was listening to them too. I was trying to hear the Trailer Park Boys song, but had to do actual work so I missed it.

Wags And Elliot are by far the best radio in Columbus.

Wags and Elliot are great guys too! Last time I ran into Wags I was in the beverage line at a Rush concert. I said "hi daddy wags," he said "hello, hey where are your seats" of course I am poor and thus was in the lawn. Long story short, Wags was heading home midway thru Rush's show so he could get some shuteye for the morning show, and he handed his laminate and tickets! I wound up in row two!!
I've listened to tthose guys religiously for as long as I can remember.

[CarolinaTribe]

I saw the midnight showing and really liked it. Zach Galifianakis was really funny(and they gave him most of the good lines, really.)

As for the financial part of this thread, I'm going to have to blame marriage & kids, and not the movies, on the "outrageous" prices. I bought a popcorn bucket at the beginning of the year for $9 at my theater and refill it for $1 each time I go. Considering it's $7.50 a bag otherwise, it's saved me a load of cash this year. Also it's only $6.50 with my student ID, and I bring my own drink. It costs me about $8.50 total, and I can't be entertained for two hours anywhere at that price.

If someone opened up a place like this up there, it'd make a killing: http://www.drafthouse.com/

Of course, since they have a liquor license, kids aren't allowed...which I like, but it's not exactly "family time out". Although I think there is one or two shows a week that kids are allowed at.

Seriously, though...I saw Star Trek w/ another person, we had dinner at the theater, and meal + movie + tip was around $50. And it's good food, not concession stand food.

[skatingtripods]

Heading to see this tonight with a late 10:40 showing. Hoping it's as good as billed.

[noles1]

Laughed the entire time.

Simply incredible.

I don't want to ruin anything for those that haven't seen it but damn, those 3 characters were flawlessly written.

Remaking Land of the Lost is just a HORRIBLE idea. The whole attraction of the original was it's campiness - in other words, it's so bad it's good. You aren't going to capture this in a re-make. No how, no way. Incidentally, the best part of the original was the fact the father sat on his lazy ass all day while the kids were forced to do all the work, including the dangerous stuff. That guy was the original welfare recipient.

As far as Ferrell goes, just like when some moron throws the 252 at A-Rod, the answer is yes.

Agreed. Matinees and all day on Tuesday are $5.75, and the highest price I pay is $8.00 for a Friday or Saturday night. Just like pro sports, it's not bad at all if you only buy the ticket and avoid all the other trappings (food, in this case). Eat a meal beforehand, smuggle in a bag of M&Ms and a bottle of water from 7/11 in your jacket, and avoid going with chicks that will make you feel like a cheap schmuck for trying to avoid spending an additional $25 for something that really costs $4.50 (those are the wrong kind, anyway). Kids would be the fly in the ointment though. When you're nine, getting something to eat at the movies can be more important to you than the movie itself.

How is that diffrernt from watching the Tribe blow most games, except the food is better at the jake and the drive is further?

My new rule is if it isn't at a big ass stadium seating theatre like Tinseltown, my home theatre is ever bit as good now. Period. I just won't.

I'll pay for quality for a flick I want to see on big screen, but no more shoe box shit. Plus, I can no longer stand adolescent girls and boys at the movies. I hate feeling unstable with rage at Manny being Manny.

Agreed. Went last night. Never stopped laughing.

No semi-serious ending. All laughs - best comedy in a while.

[British_Pharaoh]

the trailers over here make this film look so retarded and the opposite of funny

[skatingtripods]

IMDB has a top 250 by people's votes. The Hangover is #130. Above movies like Gone With The Wind, Good Will Hunting, Rocky, Crash, and some other really famous movies.

I realize these people aren't critics or anything, but that's impressive nonetheless. It was a hysterical movie, no doubt. Everybody I know who saw it has raved about it.

[Erie Warrior]

Pretty funny movie. Worth the price of admission. Rob Riggle has a great cameo. Makes me long for college......

[jordan kramer]

funniest movie i've seen in a long time

[DrPoove]

the trailers over here make this film look so retarded and the opposite of funny

Same thing over here but everyone I talked to who had seen it said it was hilarious and I concur.

Trailers don't do it justice.

Which is a good thing.

I hate it when the trailers to comedies show ALL of the funny parts. And then when you actually see the movie, you don't laugh at all. Example -- Tropic Thunder.

(But then again, Tropic Thunder never had many funny parts to laugh at anyway. Boom. Roasted.)

I'm glad someone else didnt like that awful movie. The only funny part was the pseudo trailers at the begining. All downhill after that.

[Ziner]

Funniest movie I have seen in a long long time. It is a must see by all. I give it a 12 out of 10

[Lubber]

Saw Hangover last night. I concur with others on here. Worth the price of admission ($9 now in Willoughby, yikes), and I was laughing out loud for a majority of the movie. It carried the laughs from start to finish.

[Lebowski]

wet blanket alert -- The Hangover is overrated.

[Guest]

wet blanket alert -- The Hangover is overrated.

Completely disagree.

Funniest movie I've seen in a very long time.

[rebelwithoutaclue]

Little late to the party but I just saw it yesterday. Completely hilarious. I couldn't stop laughing at Zach Galifinakis making the baby act like it's jerking off.

[4thQtrGlory]

One of the best comedies ive ever seen. This movie is going to bring in even more business for Vegas.

[Cerebral_DownTime]

I saw it last night, I gotta say, I was kinda disappointed. Maybe it was hyped too much......and I was stoned when I saw it, for the first time since the OSU/Texas game. It was funny, don't get me twisted, but not one of the funniest movies i've ever seen.

I'd watch it again when it hits DVD.
