Hilarious film, a excellent overall Blu

I everlastingly got to see this film and the Blu gave a nice first viewing, and even doing the rated/unrated back to back it still kept me laughing.
The Blu clarity and sound feature are solid and there were no failings even with the volume of night sequences. The desert shots were done adequately so there was no light infiltration or blur - overall the presentation in both versions makes them a excellent investment for being one of the few comedies you might buy on Blu. The unrated runs eight minutes longer and contained nothing that would warrant the usual attraction for being titled as such. By the time they get to the roof to start the night there were four brief sequences added in, including some extra dialogue in the notch house scene, a small more with that abusive girlfriend and a fun spot in the hotel room. The main alteration between the two would be a amusing one minute scene as they take the tiger back to Tyson's house (elevator addition). If not, there are no R rated additions like some would look for.
The supplements are a mixed bag, and after investing the hour it takes to get through them all (except the commentary) none of them stand out as a must see.
Standard Unique Facial appearance (2 Disc DVD and BD)
* The gone pictures. 100 added photos from the camera, a few amusing ones but they felt like the pics you would screen out before you share with your buddies (10 shots from the same angle, where you get rid of the other 9 and save the best one - they keep the other 9 here).
* Map of Destruction. Has 15 spots they filmed on a selectable icon map that takes you to a brief clip a propos making-of info. The Tyson one was the most fascinating for me as the others are all either too small or not fascinating.
* Madness of Ken Jeong. This guy doesn't work for me other than brief shots in a film so his "improv" here wasn't amusing.
* Action Mash-Up. A brief Stooges style mix, forgettable.
* Three Best Friends Song. Amusing in a movie, not amusing as a long translation when they can't sing.
* The Dan Band. The clean translation of the Fame song.
* Gag Reel. Now this was amusing, only goes a few minutes but they were having fun.
BD Exclusive: (BD Live)
* Cursing Mash-Up. My player took a few seconds to download/stream it and it only lasted a few seconds, most customers get a chuckle out of it when I screen it in the store, but just ok as a supplement.
* Iron Mike Online Teaser. A decent rendition of him singing the In The Air Tonight. That played well and customers thought it a much better ad than the standard ones we have seen 100 times.
Over-the-top BD Translation:
* PiP Commentary with Phillips and the three main guys. I usually like commentaries but this one stunk. I was in the family way a fantastic deal of humor, amusing tales and cool info, but as a replacement for they were just meeting there looking bored, especially Cooper, I honestly reckon he was there to watch the film. Galifianakis sat there until minute 16 before he really said no matter what thing. Every once in awhile Todd would say something fascinating about the film making, but don't watch this if you want the laughs.
A fun movie with plenty of laughs on a excellent Blu that for some of the low prices I have seen here and everyplace else it will feel like a excellent investment. |
Must see

I was a small timid to see this movie, it seemed like one of the all too recent movies where all of the excellent parts are featured in the ad, and that's all you've got. So not the case. Not only was it a packed theatre at the midnight showing, but there was not any interval longer than three minutes that had a silent consultation. Nobody could stop laughing!
From Zach Galifiakanis, we had a planetary show. His ability to play the creepy weirdo is out of this world. His wolf pack speech was incredible.
The cameo from Mike Tyson was hilarious!
Don't miss the end credits where a lot of the gone information is revealed. |
The Greatest Tale Ever Told...No but I'm still laughing days later.

First of all, this was a very smart, yucky, dark, crude, hilarious and obnoxious film that had me in tears right through the film. Yes, this theme has been done to death, but not to this level of enjoyment. I haven't loved a Vegas bachelor party film this much since "Very Terrible Things" and I would have to rate this higher. My wife loved this film as much as me and she commented how rare it is to see a film that is consistently amusing from start to end. My expectations were very high after all of the hype chief up to the release of this film and it didn't disappoint.
The director does a fantastic job setting the stage for a night no one can remember. Each role was cast perfectly with Zach Galifianakis stealing the show. Make sure you don't leave early and miss the slide-show during the credits. Freaking hilarious!!!!
If you are easily offended by crude humor or you, then this isn't the movie for you.
Thank you, Todd Phillips for another over-the-top, laugh-out-loud masterpiece |
lots of laughs!

| First off if you dont have a sick sense of humor pass this movie, up you wont get it or be with you why particular over the top things are freaking hilarious~! This movie was just as excellent as Something about Mary. I will beyond doubt be buying this one for the pool. 4 guys go to Las Vegas and get so messed up they forget everything and have to piece things back together when they awaken. There's lots of nudity and foul foreign Foreign language but it was appropriate for this type of comedy. sure some things were overboard, then again that's why they're in this movie. This is not a teenage movie in my opinion. also if you go and delight in it stand by they are making a sequel...maybe a bachelorette party? |
Packed theather 4 weeks in

| Ok. I had honestly low expectations. I hadn't seen much in the way of trailers and frankly the thought of a movie with some random baby showing up in a hotel room kinda creeped me out. Then I saw The Hangover and once I ongoing laughing, I basically never bunged longer than a minute or three before something else made me laugh out loud. I laughed more and more until the credits hit and I finished up having to wipe my eyes I was laughing so hard. We had a fantastic consultation which always helps, but I can't remember seeing a more amusing movie in a long time (really if ever). See it with friends and don't miss the credits. |
