Before the official release, "The Hangover" also had a test screening, and the film critics responded mediocrely, this kind of typical, pee, and fart comedy is impossible to win their praise, and in the same way, typical vulgar comedy is very little affected by professional film reviews, unlike film critics, ordinary audiences who participated in the test screening have given extremely high praise.

Even, in July, "The Hangover" also won the Montreal Comedy Film Festival Comedy Director of the Year Award.

However, there is one thing that has been criticized for the film, and that is Murphy.

"I think being an actor is a new challenge."

In the interview area at the end of the red carpet, Murphy stood in the middle of a crowd of Stanton party members, answering a reporter's question about the first movie role, "The role of the groom is very difficult to ......"

Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill were already the first to laugh, as were James Franco and Seth Rogen.

"I'll admit it," Murphy said helplessly, "I'm not a good actor, and I've had enough of Seth on set." ”

With that, Murphy stepped back behind the crowd and gave up the protagonist's position to Seth Rogen, James Franco, and Jonah Hill, who are the real protagonists in this film.

The others continued to be interviewed, and Murphy found David Ellison, who was standing in the back.

"Hopefully this film will be a big hit." David Ellison, who is about his age, has a sad face, "I can make up for the deficit caused by my last investment failure." ”

Murphy tapped him lightly on the shoulder, "Don't worry too much, David." There are always successes and failures in investing. ”

David Ellison finally did not listen to his persuasion and invested in "Air Combat Heroes", although the actor is no longer James Franco, but it is still a fiasco, it is definitely a huge disaster for the Hollywood film industry this year, and it has even been listed by many studios as a typical failure negative teaching material.

"But you're always succeeding!" David Ellison's brow furrowed even tighter.

"Please, you want to talk to Murphyby?" Megan Ellison happened to come over and heard David Ellison's words and sneered, "What are you doing with Murphyby?" ”

David Ellison scratched his head, not knowing what to say, except for his family background and a good father, it seemed that he was not as good as the person opposite.

When it comes to investing in movies, the other party has never missed; When it comes to fame, the other party is like the sun in Los Angeles at noon; Even if it's a girlfriend, I'm just looking for a vase, and the other party's girlfriend is beautiful, generous, smart, and mature, which can be called a big boost to my career......

Thinking of this, David Ellison was somewhat frustrated, and knew that he had to work hard.

As soon as the time came, Murphy and the others walked into the Hollywood Chinese Theater, where the premiere was held, and waited for the film to start screening.

Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill have quite a knack for vulgar comedy, and the film is well-made enough, with a lot of jokes, and more importantly, in the joyful atmosphere of comedy, some suspense is appropriately integrated.

Although Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill have made a lot of polishes and changes, the main plot of the film has not changed.

Murphy's character is about to enter the church in a few days and marry the woman he loves, and when he hears the good news, several of his friends are sincerely happy for him and decide to throw him a bachelorette party before marriage, so the characters of James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill and Robert Downey Jr. drive together to Las Vegas, where they are going to spend a crazy and disorienting farewell bachelorette carnival night together......

Stimulated by alcohol, the five of them fell asleep groggily, and when they woke up, they had no memory of what had happened last night. It's nothing, but the most troublesome problem comes, there are only four people left in the room, and the protagonist of this party: Murphy's Doug is gone! What's even stranger is that there is actually a tiger in the bathroom and a baby who looks less than a year old in the closet!

Faced with such a chaotic situation, the four of James Franco were completely helpless, but they knew that time was running out, they had to figure out what they had done last night, and the wedding was about to take place, and they had to find Doug in two days, otherwise bigger trouble was coming.

So the three of them began to look for the truth of last night by mistake, but as things developed, they faced more and more tricky things......

To put it simply, this is a comedy that takes place in Las Vegas, where four groomsmen and the groom who are about to get married get drunk at a bachelorette party, only to wake up to find that the groom is gone, so they must recall everything that happened last night in order to get the groom back and have a successful wedding.

Maybe Seth Rogen was born to be a good fit for this type of film, or maybe it's because it's more pleasing to the eye, and the film Murphy has seen, which he thinks is better than the one he used to be.

I have to say that Seth Rogan is very talented in this area, and the use of several small tricks makes it easier for the film to please the audience.

First, he uses a completely civilian perspective.

The film is entirely about the story of ordinary people, highlighting the storytelling and human touch, which can tug at the heartstrings of most people, unlike the film directed by Murphy, "The Hangover" shows the universal values of the public and represents the life of all beings in the United States.

The four protagonists all belong to the genre characters, and the first characteristic of the genre characters is that they are easy to recognize and easily remembered by the audience, the elegant and reserved dentist, the unconventional middle school teacher, and the somewhat claustrophobic Alan and the low-mouthed friend, as if they are all neighbors living in the community.

Another major feature of genre characters is that they are easy to win the audience's recognition because of their clear personality orientation, and everyone has various desires in their psychology, and many genre characters are easy to be recognized and loved by them precisely because they meet the psychological desires of the audience.

The second is to fully integrate the suspenseful elements into the atmosphere of comedy.

Suspense is one of the most important elements of any narrative in a film, which can make the receiver look forward to the later part of the narrative out of curiosity, anxiety, uneasiness or sympathy, and when the audience sees a confusing time or finds an unsolved problem, they will naturally have the desire to "solve the puzzle".

"The Hangover" belongs to the eleventh type of "release of fans": the suspense must be solved, otherwise it will be in trouble.

The theme of "The Hangover" condenses the subconscious content of psychoanalysis, and shows the tendency of modern people to seek excitement and carnival due to mental depression. In terms of creative techniques, the film adopts the perspective of the common people, uses the suspense to the extreme, and truly records the language of life, bringing visual and psychological pleasure to the audience. ”

After the premiere, the comments of the entertainment edition of the Los Angeles Times can be said to be very similar to Murphy's.

The film then landed in more than 3,000 theaters in North America on a large scale under the operation of Twentieth Century Fox, and to everyone's surprise, the film's reputation after the release was completely different from that of the test screening, and most of the media gave the film positive reviews, except for a few media that continued to give it negative reviews.

Although film critics continue to criticize this kind of, pee, and fart comedy, it can't stop comedy lovers from buying tickets to watch it, and the general praise after watching it.

"Cinema Salon" believes: "'The Hangover' goes beyond the usual comedy routine, it looks refreshing, and the friendship between men revealed in the film is very believable." The San Francisco Chronicle said, "This is the funniest comedy of the year so far!" ”

In terms of evaluation, IMDB's 2,924 viewers gave a score of 8.5, 21 media outlets including Yahoo Entertainment received an A-, and 2,296 viewers of CinemaScore scored an A.

On the other hand, the day after the premiere, Cinemascore gave an extremely bold prediction that the final North American box office of The Hangover would surpass the $200 million mark!

Now, no one would believe even the bold prediction that "The Hangover" would grossing $150 million in North America, but CinemaScore thinks the film will take in about $230 million at the North American box office.

"You can't predict how far a film will go at the box office with just one score," a CinemaScore spokesperson explained, "You need to put a lot of factors together and make a comprehensive comparison, including the level of the film, the genre, the audience distribution, and the box office that similar scores of similar movies in the past will end up with." ”

Every year, there are always some movies in Hollywood that are not favored by all parties at all before their release, and are even criticized by the media and film critics during the test screening, but they can achieve a very unexpected box office after their release, and "The Hangover" will undoubtedly become one of them.

Three days after the first weekend, Seth Rogen and Jonah Hill, who had had enough of the media and critics at the audition, could finally raise their eyebrows, "The Hangover" opened in 3,560 theaters, and the box office on Friday's first day reached $19.54 million, and the North American box office in the first three days of the first weekend combined was as high as $54.88 million, with an average single-theater box office of more than $15,000, for the film, which only cost about $30 million to make, the box office was simply so good that it soared.

"A surprising movie", "no new plot and hilarious dialogue", "the whole person is intoxicated in the movie and can't extricate himself, and the various bridges are constantly rotating in my mind", "The film itself is really funny, not deliberately pretentious, not moaning without illness, but its performance is also surprising", "It's really satisfying! ”…… Although the media reviews are generally conservative, the explosive word-of-mouth given by the audience has already explained the must-see of this R-rated comedy.

The support of the audience is an important reason for the film's explosion, of course, no one can ignore that now the Stanton party has a strong market appeal.

However, not all Stanton members brought positive responses to the film, some of them really did not perform well, and Murphy unfortunately became a representative, and was frantically complained about by fans. (To be continued.) )
