When was the last time you went to an R-rated comedy at 10:30PM on a Saturday Night?
High School? College? Maybe as a newlywed...when your life (and wife) was still super cool and you probably got "lucky" after...like I said, MAYBE!
Well, for me and a couple of buddies it was a week ago!! Wives away, kids safe at home...so we went for it!
We descended on Market Fair Theater (Princeton) around 10:30 to catch the 10:35 showing of The Hangover ...I purchased tickets on-line and thought we would head right into the theater. My buddies thought otherwise and bee-lined for concessions! No, 10:35 was not too late for pretzelel nubs, an extra large popcorn, raisinets and a 4 gallon coke...what's another $40 bucks!
The Hangover was the quintessential guy movie - a trip to Vegas with lot's of stupid guy humor, a little nudity, a chicken and a tiger! Ed Helms (The Office) shines, Bradley Cooper (Wedding Crashers) is surprisingly funny and Zach Galifianakis (nothing!) is a scene stealer.
Glad to see this movie is still going strong - two weeks at #1 and over 100 million - will certainly reach "classic" status with other great guy movies like Wedding Crashers, Old School and Swingers to name a few.
I'm looking forward to doing this again in 2029!
