I haven't seen it yet myself but everyone I know that has, has said the same thing. A definite must-see comedy.

Ok, watched 'The Hangover' a couple of nights ago and I guess I'm in the minority but I didn't find it overly funny. I really REALLY wanted to like this one after all I had heard. I found it pretty lame and uninspired. Not shocking, not over the edge. A few smiles here and there but some pretty bad acting and painful to watch situations (like Mike Tyson's cameo).

Instead of writing my own reasons why I didn't like it, I'll quote a reviewer who I agree with:

wow. I'm not a fan of body function humor but i laughed the whole way thru. I was caught up in figuring out what happened to these guys...

Thought it was pretty funny. A bit slow in the beginning, but it quickly picked up its array of antics and then everything went smoothly and humorously from there.It had a great main cast that kept the limelight interesting enough to enjoy the whole thing.

I sat through this piece of crap in the theater...I think I laughed twice. Rental at best...

This was a damn funny movie. Buy it if you want the extra's the Blockbuster rental we had was **just** the movie.

Watched it last night, I liked it. Good movie to watch NYE...Makes you think about partying a little too much.

Rank it ahead or behind Anchorman?

I'd put it right there with Anchorman. Maybe a tad behind... Depends on whether you're a big Will Farrel fan or not, since he basically is the movie.

I'm amazed that some people practically hated this movie. I don't see the problem with it, frankly. What do you guys expect from this genre? What raunchy-comedies DO you think are excellent?

Maybe it's not the best movie ever of the genre, but it was certainly funny and a decent movie.

I didn't find The Hangover overly raunchy. There's a couple of things but overall not too shocking, though shock doesn't necessary mean funny.

Some raunchy movies that were funny to me that I can think of off the top of my head (I'm missing a bunch):

Recent movies:

Superbad
Wedding Crashers (not that raunchy)
American Pie
Max and Miri make a porno
Knocked Up
There's something about Mary

Classic movies (keep in mind it took a lot less to be raunchy back then):

Caddyshack
Slapshot
Vacation
Animal House
Blues Brothers
Clerks (Can a 1994 movie be considered 'classic'?)

OK, you're making my point, Kal. This is clearly a personal taste thing.

For instance, There's Something about Mary? I thought that movie was pretty lame. I don't find Ben Stiller remotely funny... In fact, I think he's a dick. But, I realize that's my personal taste, and not necessarily a reflection of the movies he's in. The Meet the Parents were pretty funny in spite of Ben Stiller.

I think there's a bit of a double-standard. You panned Hangover for not being as funny as it could have been because some of the situations weren't as realistic as they could have been, yet that's the entire formula for most of the Ben Stiller movies - situations so ridiculous as to be completely unbelievable. I mean, NOBODY is as stupid as he is in that movie. You could say the same for Vacation, Caddyshack, Blues Brothers... They're all ridiculous - that's the point!

Knocked Up and Superbad were both pretty damn funny - probably a bit funnier than Hangover - but, I'd definitely put them in the same league.

Yup. Definitely a matter of taste. I find comedies also depend on who you see them with. I found Something About Mary funny when I saw it in the theaters because of the shocking things they said/did because I was watching in a public audience. It's fallen flat for every other repeat viewing. So it's probably not one I should have included I suppose.

I remember finding "Something about Marry" in the bargain bin for $5. I put it on during a frag fest over here with 4 other PC gamers. We were laughing so hard we had to stop the game.

I tried to make it through that movie a second time and I just couldn't do it. SO Kal, I agree with you. It's one to see with an audience.

Anchorman has laugh out loud comedy....hangover is an entire situation that just isn't funny for me. Let alone the fact that there are no killer lines. If there are no funny lines, I'm out. Can I quote this movie?? no, I can't.

I can't be offended...so, it's not the raunch...but pretending to make a baby masturbate isn't funny to me. I'm not offended, I just don't find anything funny about it.

Something about Mary has at least a couple of good ones...

The only funny line in the Hangover was when the chinese guy rolled up his window and said "mothafukaaaaassss". Otherwise..nothing.

This was the best part in Anchorman...I have to agree with Ben, they are totally different types of comedy.

The closing credits were the best part of The Hangover...They tight up all the loose ends.
