Negative Positive
Title: guilty humor
Review: This movie is the "comical" equivalent of another "Vegas" movie: "Very Bad Things". Anyone who watched that movie, and felt creepy afterward will understand the similarity. Yes, I laughed, very heartily at times, and yet I found myself ashamed at the same time. I suppose we're supposed to feel okay at the behavior of these guys because after all, they were drugged with a so-called date-rape drug, but for any film to really work,(at least for me) some of the characters need to be sympathetic. With the possible exception of Doug (Justin Bartha), who appears sparingly in the movie, these guys aren't. Now, with a movie titled "The Hangover", I knew not to expect Shakespeare, or even Abbott and Costello, but with so many patently offensive attempts at humor- a "masturbating" baby, and quite realistic-appearing fellatio during the end credits, I... well, you have to draw the line somewhere, and this movie crossed it.
Is the review positive or negative?
