The Hangover

"The Hangover" is probably one of the sloppiest written films I've seen in a long time. It is enjoyable yes, but I credit the success of this film solely on the actors... I bet if you read the script it is utter garbage. Everything Zach Galifankis says was probably written by him or ad-libbed.. anyone who saw his stand-up would probably agree. Things happen in this film that don't affect anything else. Yeah they have Mike Tysons tiger and they go return it to him. He shows them the video surveillance, but what do we learn from it? That they were drunk? The plot is progressed in no way. Also too many characters just change their whole personalities on a whim. The one guy ia uptight and marries a stripper. He hardly talks to her at all in their scene together and then later on during the "Rain Man" mockery they are buddy buddy and "fall in love". Where did this character transition come from? Why in one scene is Tyson punching them and then in the next they are buddy buddy? Same with the Asian guy. Why does Mike Epps even appear to in this film? Its a shame because the whole first act is amazing. As soon as they take that shot on the rooftop the film really goes to shit. Well not too much shit... it is a decent film but it could have really been a classic. This film is a lot like "Dude Wheres My Car?" It is a slightly toned down version of that film... more realistic and vulgar. And how many scenes end with a character mentioning the name of a song and then the song blares as we go to the transition.  And the Tyson cameo would have been amazing if they did not spoil it in the trailers.
