So the wife and I braved the Cinema today – let me explain.

We have had, what you would call NO LUCK when it came to movies and their recommendations over the past 6-12 months. Everything that our friend, co-workers and family suggested and urged us to watch and/or rent turned out to be a total flop (at least for us).

The movie either bored us, or just had no ‘uhmph’ to it. What we saw as funny in the previews, was the ONLY funny part of the movie. What we saw as dramatic in the previews, was the ONLY piece of interesting information about the movie!

I honestly can’t remember the list of movies we’ve seen, all I can tell you is we created this ‘taboo-like’ environment any and every time the discussion of movies came up.

Which is why, when we finally saw the preview for ‘The Hangover‘ we were beyond skeptical. The preview had the makings of a great comedy. Everything from side-splitting laughter, to tickle-snickering giggling. It had off-color humor and the ‘I-know-you-can-relate’ humor that everyone laughs at and no one admits to.

We even had friends and co-workers suggesting and urging us to go see the movie.

So under peer pressure and just pure curiosity we sat in the theater this afternoon (of course we went to the matinee – aren’t you living in the same economy we are?!) -

Warner Bros DELIVERED!

OH MY GARSH!

I haven’t laughed that hard in a long time.

You ever watch a movie that had so many funny moments that you more than likely missed some because you were too busy laughing? – Yep this is one of those movies.

What’s great about this movie is it clashes the two things we are all too familiar with:

• A night of drinking that got out of hand that lead to a morning of memory loss
• What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas – because it can’t happen anywhere else!

Oh, did I mention it was a bachelor party?

The characters were awesome. The storyline had it’s weak moments that were parlayed and easily looked over with the dry slap-stick humor that left you thinking, ‘Oh my god, did that really just happen. No. That couldn’t happen’

This movie was all about the extreme situation.

If you think losing your keys is bad after a night of partying. Wait till you see what these guys lost (and it was more than just their friend)

Ever wake up with farm animals and wild-exotic creatures sharing the same oxygen as you? Misplaced a baby? How about lose a tooth? Get married? Steal a car? Lose a car? Visit the hospital?

All of these things apparently transpire during the night-before. None of which anyone remembers.

The movie is all about these guys trying to piece together the very alcohol-drug induced fog of a night in the hopes of locating the soon-to-be groom. Yep, they lost him too.

I don’t want to give too much away, because the way this move progresses and ends is just laugh-your-ass-off-till-your-head-hurts kind of fun.

Be fore-warned, there is a lot of raunchy and racy humor-like content that is not meant for the weak-stomached or rigid-minded viewer.

Do yourself a favor, have some fun and go see this movie.
