The Hangover
by skylover on Jul.23, 2009, under Movie Review, Year 2009
Yesterday I went to watch this Movie The Hangover. Some people might be wondering how in the hell am I able to watch this movie when it has not even yet release yet. A few weeks back, I brought a New Paper for my shift work duty since its going to get bored at certain time of the day. While I was reading through the newspaper, I saw this column on lucky draw but the condition is that you will have to answer so question and so I tried my luck and sms my answer in. Last week, I got an email regarding the movie. Guess what? I was selected to go watch this movie and they call it the super sneak preview for free@!!
Alright, I shall not write too much into how I go about going there etc. The movie was basically for those who would like to have a relax weekend or weekdays whichever you desire. It is really worth while watching but of course you have to be above the age of 16 as there are so scene not suitable for this group of people to watch. It is really funny and hilarious. You could be laughing most of your time out. Believe me, you will not catch their joke at the start until about 25mins later. I’m sure those who went to watch yesterday were laughing like hell throughout the show. So you might be asking me what is so funny about it.
I shall not tell you but I will give a brief summary of it.
Summary
Angelenos Doug Billings and Tracy Garner are about to get married. Two days before the wedding, the four men in the wedding party – Doug, Doug’s two best buddies Phil Wenneck and Stu Price, and Tracy’s brother Alan Garner – hop into Tracy’s father’s beloved Mercedes convertible for a 24-hour stag party to Las Vegas. Phil, a married high school teacher, has the same maturity level as his students when he’s with his pals. Stu, a dentist, is worried about everything, especially what his controlling girlfriend Melissa thinks. Because she disapproves of traditional male bonding rituals, Phil has to lie to her about the stag, he telling her that they are going on a wine tasting tour in the Napa Valley. Regardless, he intends on eventually marrying her, against the advice and wishes of his friends. And Alan seems to be unaware of what are considered the social graces of the western world. The morning after their arrival in Las Vegas, they awaken in their hotel suite each with the worst hangover. None remembers what happened in the past twelve or so hours. The suite is in shambles. And certain things are in the suite that shouldn’t be, and certain things that should be in the suite are missing. Probably the most important in the latter category is Doug. As Phil, Stu and Alan try to find Doug using only what little pieces of information they have at hand, they go on a journey of discovery of how certain things got into the suite and what happened to the missing items. However they are on a race for time as if they can’t find Doug in the next few hours, they are going to have to explain to Tracy why they are not yet back in Los Angeles. And even worse, they may not find Doug at all before the wedding.

My Opinion
I would rate this movie 4 out of 5 stars for its plot and most importantly the joke. It really lighten up the atmosphere and enable people who are stress to reduce stress and put aside all the problem and really enjoy the show. The movie does have a point that men at one stage of their life would need to change after marriage and thus in order not to miss what they will never get to do forever. That was the last chance for them to really go into it and not worry about anything. In Asia, when you are married, there are many things you will not be able to do like womanized, gamble, too close to any woman etc
Yes I do agree that not all woman mind about all these but many of them would mind about it. In turn when a woman does that, the man would also be not happy about it thus its a two way traffic to a relationship. After marriage, many things would definitely change as all of us would have to be more committed and responsible for everything we do especially when you have kids.
Thus I would recommend this show to watch. Its really great! Its not a boring movie at all. Trust me, you will be laughing yourself out most of the time!
