Tired of flabby abs? Fear not! I have a new workout for you. Go see the newly released Land of the Lost followed directly by The Hangover. My friend and I did a double feature last night of the two, and my stomach still hurts from laughing for 3+ hours. I thought both were ridiculously funny, to the point where I had tears shedding. I know a lot of people won't entirely love Land of the Lost like I did, but that's because people don't fully appreciate the genius that is the actor Danny McBride. Every single word he utters made me crack up. His character is exactly like his character Rico in Hot Rod and Kenny Powers in Eastbound and Down. Basically McBride has one character: Wicked Funny. Will Ferrell holds his own, but McBride just shines like a little star the entire movie. I cannot wait for him to star in a movie. 90+ minutes of DmB? Yes, Please!
I think most people will agree with me in saying that The Hangover was absolutely hysterical. I would even say Top 5 funniest movies ever (yeah I went there). It definitely holds against the super awesome Superbad and Pineapple Express (coincidence McBride is in both of those? I think not.) The character of Alan, played by Zach Galifianakis (Out Cold) is one of the funniest characters I have even seen onscreen. UHmazin. Sound it out. Emphasize the UH. You'll get it.
Every line in the film is awesome, every scene, every second. AHH!!! My friends and I are already planning a second viewing, it's that good. To quote a fellow filmgoer: You'll get a laughing hangover from this one. If you don't like joy and happiness, don't go.
And yes, we already memorized the song Stu plays on the piano.

The Hangover is a rare breed.
ReplyDeleteIt's like someone finally flipped the "reset" button on my sense of humor.
There's so many freakin' perfect one-liners
and priceless moments that you're forced to leave the theater trying to remember all of them but the only image stained on your retinas is the last 15-20 seconds of the Vegas picture slide show during the credits.
And yes, Galifianakis's character is a masterpiece.
Creepy side note: Zach G and I share the same first name and birthday.
