Movie Review – The Hangover (2009) – 3 Stars

Here’s a case in point for managing expectations before you see a movie. I’d been told over and over again that ‘The Hangover’ was amazing, and one of the funniest movies for the past few years. Honestly, I actually did think it was reasonably funny – the characters are good, there were some memorable moments and quotes, and I like the idea of a bachelor party movie that doesn’t actually show the party. Despite this, I didn’t think it lived up to all the hype. For a similar class of humour, I’d watch something like ‘Super Troopers’ over this, any day.
