“The Hangover” What Happened in Vegas
Jun 9th
What Happened in Vegas
“Hotshots” looks at a movie!
THE HANGOVER is a hilarious comedy about what you don’t want to happen in Las Vegas.
I mean, to you, of course. If it happens to four other guys, then not only do you want it to happen, but you also want to see it in this movie.
Perhaps even more than once, it’s that funny.
The movie begins in the desert outside Las Vegas, and Phil is on the phone talking to Tracy back in California, who is about to get married in five hours.
Phil says, “We lost Doug,” and when Tracy asks for an explanation, Phil says, “We can’t find Doug.”
Doug is the groom, you see, and when Tracy points out to the best man Phil that the ceremony is in five hours, Phil says, “Yeah, that’s not going to happen.”
Then we get a title that says “Two Days Earlier,” and we see what happened to Doug, the groom; Phil, the best man; Stu, a good friend of theirs; and Alan, the bride’s brother.
Well, not exactly. We see their preparations for the bachelor party in Las Vegas, we see them leaving California and arriving in Vegas, where they decide to get a suite for $4200 a night, we see them go up onto the roof of the hotel to drink a toast, and we see them say, “To a night the four of us will never forget.”
Then we see them wake up the next morning in their suite, except that none of them can remember what happened the night before.
Now, that wouldn’t be too bad, except that the suite is trashed, there is a chicken walking around, there is a tiger in the bathroom, there is a baby in the closet, Stu is missing a front tooth, and Doug is nowhere to be found.
And then as they try to retrace their steps to figure out what happened and to find Doug, everything goes from bad to worse to you won’t believe how bad it can get.
The three men find new surprises all along the way, the story comes full circle back to that opening scene in the desert, and luckily for us it doesn’t end there, but continues on into the closing credits where we finally learn what happened in Vegas.
THE HANGOVER is disastrous and balls-out hilarious.
I’m Dan Culberson and this is “Hotshots.”
Away We Go – Movie Trailer
Jun 5th
When slacker thirtysomething couple Burt (John Krasinski) and Verona (Maya Rudolph) discover that his parents are moving overseas, the duo — who expect their first child in a few months — set off on a cross-country tour to figure out where they should lay down some roots in Sam Mendes’ poignant comedy Away We Go. They visit a number of different cities, and meet with a different friend or family member’s family at each stop. Their hosts include a set of emotionally detached parents (Allison Janney and Jim Gaffigan), a pair of overprotective new-age parents (Maggie Gyllenhaal and Josh Hamilton), and old college pals (Chris Messina and Melanie Lynskey), who have adopted a number of kids. Novelist Dave Eggers wrote the script with Vendela Vida.
The Hangover – Movie Trailer
Jun 5th
A blowout Las Vegas bachelor party turns into a race against time when three hung-over groomsmen awaken after a night of drunken debauchery to find that the groom has gone missing, and attempt to get him to the alter in time for his wedding. In 48 hours, Doug is scheduled to walk down the aisle, effectively ending his reign as a rowdy bachelor. Realizing that this is their last blowout with their best friend, Doug’s groomsmen organize a Sin City bachelor bash he’ll never forget. The next morning, the groomsmen come to in their Caesar’s Palace suite to find a tiger in the bathroom and a six-month-old baby tucked away in the closet. Unfortunately, Doug is nowhere to be found. With no memory of the previous night’s transgressions and precious little time to spare, the trio sets out in a hazy attempt to retrace their steps and discover exactly where things went wrong. Will they find Doug in time to get him to the wedding back in Los Angeles, or will his bride experience the sharp sting of disappointment when she walks down the aisle to discover that her future husband is nowhere to be found? Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and Heather Graham star in a rambunctious comedy from Old School director Todd Phillips.
