Chapter 366: The Great Reversal of Public Opinion
"Every man's heart longs for the wild uninhibited hidden in the depths of his heart!
The clever narrative structure, followed by absurd humor, is what makes "The Hangover" so good as a comedy.
The movie begins with Doug's three friends preparing for his pre-wedding bachelorette party, and after a crazy break, the trio's ridiculous crazy journey just hits the fate of many audiences, making people quickly fall in love with this movie.
What the film shows is not only a precious friendship, but also the wild uninhibited that every man's heart will desire to hide in the depths of his heart, which is vividly presented!
There is no doubt that this is a comedy masterpiece, even a classic comedy!
Chen, undoubtedly gave us a big surprise!"
--- Los Angeles Times
"One word 'cool'!
I can't even restrain the expression on my face, which is the initial feeling after the end of the film.
The whole person is intoxicated by the movie and can't extricate himself, the various episodes are constantly alternating in my mind, and even the ears are buzzing all the time, and the story brings me the most surprises.
First, the film itself is really funny, not deliberately pretentious, not moaning without illness, but a wonderful hearty heart, which is really a great satisfaction!
Say goodbye to the last indulgence of your single life, and in the company of a few friends, drive to the paradise of release. As a result, I woke up with a hangover to find that my best friend was gone, and there were only two days left in the divorce period!
They embark on the road of finding friends in thoughtless memories, raising tigers at home, having babies in their rooms, encountering boxing champions, suspected kidnappings, and all kinds of strange and bizarre step by step to make you dizzy.
Time is definitely spent in happiness and tension, but in the end, everything you have indulged in must choose to forget, after all, the madness is over, and you still have to return to a normal and peaceful life.
After staying in the calm and boring days for a long time, why not choose to release it like this, a hangover!
I want to apologize for my previous sloppiness, although Chen, soon, but he is undoubtedly a genius!
Thank you Chan for this amazing hangover trip!"

"Every man has a Las Vegas in his heart!
Las Vegas, which is Doug's place of escape, is about to detonate his inner universe one last time before the responsibility of marriage is about to fall on his shoulders;
It is the place of Fei'er's indulgence, where he is no longer a serious teacher in front of a group of nagging students, no longer a family man with old and young;
It is Stu's place of redemption, and after the loss of the upper right incisor, he suddenly discovers that there is actually a lion alive in his body that has not yet been castrated, and swallows the ostrich that has been burying its head in the sand;
It's Allen's "Sin City", and he believes that "lost souls" can take root and grow into trees in this fertile land, so before you get here, you must first have the determination to "die", and then prepare a pocket of nasty ideas···········
"The Hangover" is like a point master, hitting the hidden but stupid acupuncture points of countless married and prospective men, driving them to queue up, buy tickets, and enter the movie theater in the past, present, and future.
The things that the foursome did always have some shadows of déjà vu, and as for the somewhat hateful but harmless man's mentality, it can only be understood, not spoken.
The, pee, and fart route of American comedy dare not be said to have remained unchanged for a hundred years, and it has been consistent for at least ten years, otherwise there would not be a group of guys known as the "Rotten Boy Gang" who are now so arrogant that the film contract is flying all over the sky.
"The Hangover" has not deviated in the direction of the general route, but its narrative arrangement seems to be quite masterful.
first throws out an uncontrollable mess, and then leads to a sound beginning, as for how the middle is fragmented, let the audience and a few decrepit people in the movie find answers in the chaos.
Eating this bowl of rice and playing out of the door is a basic skill, but if you can play eye-catching tricks, you can be regarded as a master of skill.
Chen's first attempt at comedy has undoubtedly played a new trick, and the young director who made "Moon" and "District 9" is indeed not simple, bringing us a classic comedy in 45 days!
As far as comedy goes, if "Beverly Hills" is three and a half stars and "Scream" is one and a half stars, then "The Hangover" deserves three and a half stars!
I apologize for the little skepticism I had before, and I'm even more looking forward to Chen's other upcoming sci-fi film, The Man with No Name!"
