How many of you have seen The Hangover?

Holy crap – the movie changed my life. From here on out, whenever I relate an event of my past, it’ll be defined as pre- and post-The Hangover.

Who knew?

This past weekend was the most lovely I have had in memory: completely enjoyable and relaxing. Went to yoga and ran each day, bumped into people all over, saw my new favorite movie (tied with Vicky Cristina Barcelona), finished Olive Kitteridge and started Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, which is completely silly and entertaining. No complaints from me!

I never would have guessed that I would love The Hangover as much as I did. The film is brilliantly written and acted. The script it clever and outrageous, and the actors, particularly Zach Galifianakis, have impeccable comic timing. The camaraderie and chemistry between the four friends is so genuine – this is a silly, offensive comedy to be sure, but it has a real heart thanks to that chemistry. The friendship feels real and palpable.

No movie in memory has left me with more quotes or ever made me laugh out loud so hard – it’s ridiculous, intense, amazing. GO SEE IT.

And, oh, Bradley Cooper – how much are we all madly in love with Bradley Cooper? Always playing the dick – in this and He’s Just Not That Into You– but you love him anyway. So charming, so handsome and so talented! I want to see more of him!

Apparently, he auditioned and desperately wanted the James Franco role in Milk. What a mistake those filmmakers made not casting him – he would have sooo fantastic. I’d love to see him in a more serious piece now.

Tomorrow will likely be a day filled with anxiety and existential crisis, merely because I am seeing Waiting for Godot tonight – I am quite interested to see how this revival is.

What was your favorite quote from The Hangover? Mine:

“Do you have park so close? I’m not suppose to be within a 200 yards of a school…or a Chuck E. Cheese.”

AND

Alan Garner: “Okay, well maybe we should tell that to Rain Man, because he practically bankrupted a casino, and he was a ruh-tard.”
Stu Price: “A what?”
Alan Garner: “He was a ruh-tard.”

I’ll also leave you with a clip from the film – ENJOY! Until next time, om, chanti, chanti, chanti, namaste.
