Something About Bananas

Before seeing The Hangover I thought it looked like another cheesy, bad comedy flick that cashes in on the cliche "Vegas" trip but after I saw it my opinion changed.

The film begins with four friends having a bachelor night in Las Vegas. Five minutes later in the film and it's the next morning, the groom Doug is missing, a tiger is in the bathroom, a baby's in the wardrobe, the hotel room is in pieces and the tree remaining friends don't remember a single thing.

The film's adventures begin as the three friends, Alan, Stu and Phil set out to find their friend Doug before his wedding and end up finding out a lot about the night before. From who owns that baby in the wardrobe, why Stu is missing a tooth (and a very special ring), why a Tiger was in the bathroom, why a hotel valet gives them the keys "their" police cruiser and a lot more.

So much happens in this 100 minute film and every scene is ridiculously hilarious and ties together pretty well with yet another cliche "feel good" ending, but hey, we all secretly love cliches don't we?

Easter Egg: The photos of that forgotten night are found at the end of the film and are shown throughout the beginning of the credits and really put the icing on the cake. That is to say they will have you in stitched.

I have to recommend this to any comedy lover and anyone else who isn't a dried up old prune. One word to some it up. "Hysterical"

I give it a 8 out of 10.
Here's the trailer (let it buffer as it's HD).
