Negative Positive
Title: Overrated, overhyped - and ultimately fails to deliver.
Review: This certainly isn't the comedy messiah and the savior of anarchistic comedy people claim it to be. What I found was, yes, a pretty formulaic (it's funny how people perceive the same film differently) and average (read: moronic) American comedy.The premise for wackiness to ensue is a good one, but it has been done better in movies such as Very Bad Things (which, granted, is a different type of film).In addition to a few funny lines and one-liners I felt the funniest (best) part was Galifianakis' Polaroid sequence - and that was during the end credits! Don't get me wrong, I enjoy a good modern comedy as anyone, such as Superbad - but a movie like Superbad has one crucial difference: a fantastic script. Despite the delicious premise, The Hangover only has a very average one and ultimately fails to deliver.One special mention for the worst play-it-safe soundtrack in recent memory. Usher's "Yeah", "Who Let The Dogs Out"...seriously?
