THE HANGOVER

Since I'm a big time celebrity I get to go to movie premieres now and then and last night I got to go see the new movie The Hangover.  The good news about the movie is that not ALL the funny parts were shown in the previews.  The bad news is that it's not as funny as it's supposed to be.  Don't get me wrong it's a very funny movie, and thank God once again that it was rated R because they are allowed to use soooooo much stronger language.  It just seemed like this movie tried a little too hard.  You know it's like the friend you have growing up, who's parents have a ton of money and he has all the cool toys?  He's an ok kid to hang around but he just doesn't seem to have that IT quality about him.  He trys and trys but never really fits in, but you hang around him because you can stomach him and his parents have a bunch of money so he has really cool stuff.  That's what this movie is and does.  There are some really funny parts in the movie and I liked that, but sometimes it just kind of sat there and you wanted to beat the movie up just like that kid, but it's rated R and they can swear whenver they want so that keeps you interested.  By the way, Mike Tyson is FAT!!!!!!!!!!!!  Heather Graehem is in the movie and plays a stripper/escort that shows off her boobs and I have to say that she really does have some ugly nipples!!!!!!!!!!  The other thing about this movie is that it really doesn't have quotable lines in it like Airplane, or Caddyshack does, which means you can't sit around with your buddies and quote this movie and laugh about it later.  I'm going to say that I liked this movie because I'm really looking forward to the unedited DVD release to come out in the next year!!!!!!!!!!
