    Or rapies."
  • CB810, on 07/21/2009, -40/+492And one of the best comedies of all time too. Thank god for Zach Galifianakis
  • mark5hs, on 07/21/2009, -7/+340That's because it's a really good movie. If only other studios would realize that the best way to get alot of money is by making a good movie.
  • novenator, on 07/21/2009, -25/+319All films should be R rated.

  • muteSirens, on 07/21/2009, -9/+271"Counting cards isn't illegal, it's frowned upon. Like masturbating on an airplane. Ever since 9/11 everyone has been so damn sensitive. Thanks a lot Bin Laden."
  • A5204, on 08/13/2009, -13/+213Zach Galifianakis should be in everything.
  • daveinNJ81, on 07/21/2009, -8/+201NOT AT THE TABLE CARLOS!!!
  • bliz20, on 07/21/2009, -3/+190Michael Bay: "lolwut"
  • oneordinarylife, on 07/21/2009, -6/+166I cringed at the last line of the article: "I don't think there's any question now that a sequel to The Hangover is going to happen sooner rather than later."

    Please, Hollywood, just let it be. We don't need another Caddyshack II.
  • TheBigBad, on 07/21/2009, -8/+159Adjusted for inflation, Animal House is still #1 by far with $430,012,100.
  • beachsouthpaw, on 07/21/2009, -7/+148You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack... it grew by one. So there... there were two of us in the wolf pack... I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, "Wait a second, could it be?" And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast!
  • inactive, on 07/21/2009, -8/+148Does that R stand for Ritard?
  • ImBaack, on 07/21/2009, -4/+138Tigers love pepper. They hate cinnamon.
  • TheBigBad, on 07/21/2009, -2/+119Sorry, I must correct myself. Beverly Hills Cop has an adjusted gross of $482,137,100
  • Mittens27, on 07/21/2009, -6/+122Well, you should tell that to rain man because he practically bankrupt a casino and he was a ratard.
  • boecho, on 07/21/2009, -6/+122Glad Lindsay Lohan decided that the script "didn't have potential" haha. So, now I can watch it without seeing her sad, deprived ass.
  • Permagrin, on 07/21/2009, -8/+122I didn't know they gave out rings at the Holocaust!
  • bradleyland, on 07/21/2009, -5/+95Life is R rated, why shouldn't film be?
  • woofers07, on 07/21/2009, -16/+95Apples and oranges. Big Lebowski wasn't at its best until the fourth or fifth time watching it, plus it's more of a cult-classic. The Hangover will most likely just be a classic.
  • hasslinthehoff, on 07/21/2009, -3/+80They never explained where the chicken came from... it's just going to haunt me, but aside from that, it's a riot.
  • inactive, on 07/21/2009, -5/+72what kind of pussy ass website is that? I mean seriously, that is the worst gayest review I ever read, it's like 10 retards who just got back from church camp started dry humping a keyboard and this is what came out.

    Oh, it's focus on the family.

    NEVER MIND
  • oneordinarylife, on 07/21/2009, -1/+56The best part of this review is under "Spiritual Content":

    Because Alan is a bit overweight and has a full beard, another character refers to him as "fat Jesus."
  • Maxwell1234, on 07/21/2009, -0/+53And I thought "wait, can it be?" and then I knew for sure... ScottJohnson20 had just entered my wolfpack.
  • DiscoUnderpants, on 07/21/2009, -16/+69Nope.
  • dumass4u, on 07/21/2009, -3/+53Its ritard. isn't it?
  • neonoodle, on 07/21/2009, -2/+50bring out the ol' projector and get some Charlie Chaplin up in this piece.
  • thejackyl, on 07/21/2009, -4/+51If you write "ur" instead of "you're", you're dumb.
  • mpires, on 07/21/2009, -1/+48You most likely have a urine retention problem.
  • bundwallah, on 07/21/2009, -13/+59No. Nothing is. "The Big Lebowski" is in a class by itself.

    "The Hangover" was definitely a good movie and very well done for a comedy. Though I enjoyed it, it did not make laugh as much as I hoped/thought it would.
  • daveinNJ81, on 07/21/2009, -2/+45Paging Doctor *****! Doctor *****!
  • WELLDOITLIVE, on 07/21/2009, -3/+45Hangover 2 was planned before this one was released. It will happen.
  • woofers07, on 07/21/2009, -2/+44I thought he looked like a Carlos too.
  • garyi113, on 07/21/2009, -15/+56Not ... Even ... Close
  • MotoFly, on 07/21/2009, -4/+45Well get ready for G-Force!
  • Blue7Alien, on 07/21/2009, -3/+41LOL, go and read their review on Harry Potter. Its just them analyzing decisions they make. They shouldn't even be reviewing movies. If your this prude why are they watching movies at all.
  • PhoenixAvatar2, on 07/21/2009, -1/+39Oh yeah. As long as you don't get hung up on the insanely nonsensical situations they get into, you'll love it.
  • TheSkunkMonkey, on 07/21/2009, -1/+36Rather than counting dollars (it's easy to make more money than past movies, the tickets cost more) I wish movies were compared on units sold, i.e. tickets and DVDs.
  • krakelohm, on 07/21/2009, -4/+37You mean plug the VCR in right?
  • Maxwell1234, on 07/21/2009, -0/+32How about that ride in? Guess that's why they call it Sin City.
  • MCA2142, on 07/21/2009, -4/+34haven't seen it myself.

    someone tell me... is it better than the Big Lebowski?
  • joshuajudah, on 07/21/2009, -4/+32He was dumbed down in this movie.
  • whiteyx, on 07/21/2009, -9/+37The Hangover ... a classic? Booo!
  • dieyoung, on 07/21/2009, -10/+38i wish i could bury you more than once.
  • Spyder2k, on 07/21/2009, -4/+31You'll understand when you get a kid
  • forcedfx, on 07/21/2009, -0/+27Not you fat Jesus.
  • bales2552, on 07/21/2009, -0/+27Do you really think that Focus on the Family is going to give any movie like this a good review?
  • HisTomness, on 07/21/2009, -3/+29Is that adjusting for inflation? My guess is no.
  • bliz20, on 07/21/2009, -3/+29Yes, that is also subjective.
  • homercles337, on 07/21/2009, -19/+44"One of the best comedies of all time?" How old are you? 13? Caddy Shack, Blazing Saddles, Monty Python's entire library, History of the World, Its a Mad Mad Mad World, Cannonball Run, the list goes on and on...fire up that DVD player son.
  • Valyn, on 07/21/2009, -1/+26More importantly, this is good for 'R' rated films in general, showing that they can make money without going PG-13.
    Even the last Die Hard dropped down to PG-13 and cut out half of the signature line in the process: Yipee Kai-yay...
