the hangover (philips, 2009)

really good to see galifianakis get some main stream exposure; i just hope he doesn't get co-opted by 12-year-olds. good to see him playing basically the same character as he does in dog bites man (most of his non-absurd characters are fairly similar, but this one has the same name...). loved the wire shoutout by tyson, too (not sure this was intentional or me reading into it--and don't use wikipedia as proof, as i'm the one who added that). still, overall, good but not great. dragged on too long. had some insensative jokes. a fun summer romp, et al.

6.5/10
