Superbad was much funnier, IMO but the Hangover was still a solid comedy.

Re: The Hangover
Just watched this the other day for the first time. For all the hype I heard from my friends, I must say that this movie is horribly overrated. Just wasn't THAT funny.Comment

Re: The Hangover
Pretty much. It was really lacking in originality as well IMO. Just seemed like a lot of stuff I've seen before, just not as humorous as the original."You make your name in the regular season, and your fame in the postseason." - Clyde Frazier

Re: The Hangover
I just saw this last nite and it was somewhat funny but nothing side splitting. Don't know if it has that much rewatch value as the premise and charm of it is mainly situated in what happened to Doug. There wasn't any parts where I couldn't stop laughing like I have with other great comedies so I guessed it failed my test that way. I think it had a good premise but just didn't deliver that well on the laughs.
Most of the movies I've seen this year that were hyped have disappointed me except for Star Trek. I'm not usually one to hype myself from good word of mouth and leaving myself disappointed as I was hyped to watch Star Trek and I really liked it. But with the Hangover, District 9 and Inglorious Basterds I thought these movies were slightly above average at best and mildly disappointing as a result that had nothing to do with my heightened expectations.
I don't think I'm becoming jaded. I think it's been a bad year for movies so people overestimate the value of movies that are simply average and the recession also made people go to the theater more and give overinflated box office #'s for films that normally wouldn't gross that much if the economy was better. That's my take anyways. Hopefully this is not the case for Avatar for me."It may well be that we spectators, who are not divinely gifted as athletes, are the only ones able to truly see, articulate and animate the experience of the gift we are denied. And that those who receive and act out the gift of athletic genius must, perforce, be blind and dumb about it -- and not because blindness and dumbness are the price of the gift, but because they are its essence." - David Foster Wallace
