The last one week has been very weird in terms of my choice of watching movies. While a side of me was screaming "ನಾನು ಕನ್ನಡಿಗ " , the other was just exploring the unsung heroes of Sandalwood. No doubt some of the movies were utter "shite" , but there were a couple of them which though were shot in a full on serious tone, made me LOL. If at all you want a taste of this, I would recommend watching Sai Kumar's Police Story I and II and Thriller Manju's Jackie Chan. I'm sure this post would prop up in Google searches after a few days, if someone typed "Jackie Chan's Police Story", and would get a kick on the backside for relevance.
While most of us would actually find Sai Kumar's acting funny and entertaining, he is unmatched when it comes to dialogues. For a person to maintain the same level of intensity and passion on screen throughout the movie is actually commendable. Amidst all these movies and many more which were utter crap, I happened to watch Hangover-2.
Its one of those sequels that actually complement the original. The story line is very similar to the first part and for all entertaining reasons, the plot gets even more twisted. I'm not going to act like a spoilsport and reveal the story here but just going to graze through some of the highlights.
Bradley Cooper has done justice to his role along with Ed Helms playing the usual guy who has a secret affinity towards hookers and in this case, gets a bigger package than expected. If you love Zach Galifianakis, then you'll love him even more but then again I feel his role was a bit overshadowed by others in this part. Ken Jeong who plays Mr.Chow surprisingly has a lion's share of on-screen time considering his "tiny package" as its shown in the beginning of the movie.
No baby with shades this time and instead gets better with a pot smoking monkey. If at all you have little kids then please do take them to the movie as the'll get a whole new lesson on human anatomy , courtesy ladyboys of Thailand. This way, they can ask numerous doubts to their teachers. If at all the lady teachers are anything like we had in Sadvidya who even feel shy to talk about 9th std human reproduction system chapter, then the'll probably have a pretty tough time. If you are trying to hook up with a girl, then she'll probably see the movie as your attempt to take things a few steps higher on a single day and might not be the best option. Even though its a movie to be enjoyed with a bunch of guys, I'm sure you can enjoy it with your girlfriend as well.
On the whole I give it a 4/5 . Like always, the segment in the end showing all the pics is probably the icing on the cake. If they maintain the standards, the Hangover can well go upto parts 4 or 5 and still be grossly funny. In fact I hope it happens, just like the American Pie series.
P.S - I still feel that Zach Galifianakis was funnier in the movie Due Date.
