The Hangover

2.5 stars out of 5
This is the humor of embarrassment and excess, taken to, well, excess. It is mildly amusing in places, but not outright funny. Hardly a waste of time. There is apparently some hidden charm, since some savvy moviegoers I know have recommended it. As a result, I sat through the whole thing, hoping for it to improve, whereas under most circumstances I'd have bailed halfway through. It isn't awful, there are moments that are surprising, and even some moments that are touching. But overall, just tain't funny McGee.
