“Hey, this is Phil. Leave me a message and I’ll get back to you. And don’t text me, ‘cause that’s gay.”Six-and-a-half months into ’09 and not one movie made me crack a smile. 15 seconds into The Hangover, and I was laughing hard.
And it wasn’t just the writing and acting; it’s Todd Phillips bringing dramatic direction to a comedy, and making it even funnier. It’s pushing into shots and playing with film speed. It’s going to the sketchiest parts of Vegas, with you or without you. It’s hilarious. I wish I were in it.
This movie eats other comedies like Emeril eats shrimp. Plunk down ten bucks and see it.
