The Hangover Film Critique
This movie, much like Paranormal Activity, was ruined for me in the basketball locker room before I had a chance to watch it myself. Again this movie was way over hyped before I got a chance to watch it, and therefore a slight let down. However, the more I watch the movie, the more I begin to fall in love with it.
Quite interestedly I’ve noticed all the money this movie’s made with marketers recently. I’ve seen a shampoo brand (I forget which one) and Axe Body Spray, both market themselves using scenes from the Hangover. Giving a message along the lines, “want to live a wild and crazy life, use our shit”. Like I said, something along those lines.
But the movie itself was good. I remember seeing the preview a solid 9-months before it was released, being the first one of my friends to get excited about it. But now I feel as though I jumped the band-wagon with all the other band-wagoners in America.
The idea of three guys working backwards to figure out what they did the night before was an interesting concept in a comedy. I’ve seen it done many times in drama’s but never in a comedy; very nicely done.
