The Hangover (2009)
As of 01/01/2010 it's safe to say Hangover was the funniest thing we saw in 2009!
Well structured action, genuinely funny performances and script. The kind of comedy you would recommend to everyone without reservations! What really makes a difference here is the chemistry of the characters. If you just take a quick look at them, you will see no possible way of co-existence. Yet they not only -almost miraculously- manage to survive each other but their hangover experience works like a bonding factor. Bradley Cooper as the voice of reason and Zach Galifianakis deliberately trying to make everyone's life miserable with his 'brilliant' ideas is called Flawless Casting. It's the kind of comedy we hadn't seen since... Well, I have no idea when the last time I watched something equally funny was! Enjoy!
American Pie Presents: The Book of Love (2009)
I could feel my brain cells dying.
At first I thought it couldn't be much worse than the last one, but guess what! It was an even bigger waste of time. It's not the typical low-quality comedy that will at least make you laugh a bit and you will forget all about it as soon as it's over. It's more like a parody of the worst clichés ever. Only problem is it's not supposed to be a parody (or if it is they just didn't make it clear). It's something like the American Pie Paradox: the first 3 films set a really high standard (funny, original to an extend, well shaped action) and the ones that followed were more like a new low in the history of comedy. What surprised me was the fact that it was not even as bad as Naked Mile. At least there were a couple of funny lines and 3 or 4 funny scenes on that one. But this one? You can just leave the room for let's say 15' , come back and realize that you didn't miss anything at all. Total waste of time.
