Earlier this week we played catch up with a trailer that looks like the sleeper comedy hit of the summer. Now we have a full length theatrical trailer for The Hangover that amps up the laughs even more. In case you missed our synopsis before here it is again: A Las Vegas-set comedy centered around three groomsmen who lose their about-to-be-wed buddy during their drunken misadventures, then must retrace their steps in order to find him. This will be the morning after that none of these guys will forget.
In this trailer we get a shot of the groom-to-be, Justin Bartha (who you may remember as the comic relief sidekick Riley Poole in the National Treasure films) and the lead-up to what will be one chaotic bachelor party. The groomsmen, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, trace their steps and get more than they bargained for as they find themselves in possession of a baby, a tiger, a police car, but not the groom. Zach Galifianakis is going to blow up after this movie, and I hope everyone gets a chance to discover his comedic genius. The film comes out on June 5, but until then, enjoy the trailer below.
This post has been long overdue for a few weeks. This trailer came out of nowhere when I went to my midnight screening of Watchmen awhile back and I've been waiting for it ever since. I give you, The Hangover.
This looks like a great, chaotic comedy and may even be a sleeper hit of the summer. The film stars Ed Helms (NBC's The Office), Bradley Cooper (Wedding Crashers) and Zach Galifianakis (The Comedians of Comedy) as three groomsmen who lose their about-to-be-wed buddy during their drunken misadventures, then must retrace their steps in order to find him.
There's a mysterious baby, a missing tooth, and Mike Tyson air drumming to Phil Collins "In the Air Tonight." It's everything anyone could ask for. I've been wanting to see more of Galifianakis in films since seeing his stand-up a couple years back, and Ed Helms is always a good addition. Bradley Cooper is certainly making a name for himself, but it's hard to see him outside of his douchebag role in Wedding Crashers. It's an odd trio, and none of them are really big names, but that's what makes this even more interesting.
Anyway, this comedy looks like a blast, and I'm looking forward to seeing it when it comes out June 5. It's not everyday you get to see a trailer that depicts your future life. What do you guys think?
For some reason there seems to be a bit of backlash at the recent release of the trailer for Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian the sequel to the 2006 family blockbuster Night at the Museum starring Ben Stiller. I really don't know what the problem is. Night at the Museum was a great family film with enough laughs for kids and adults. Ricky Gervais had a great bit part as the museum curator and Owen Wilson and Steve Coogan bickering back and forth as the miniatures exhibits was hilarious too. And of course seeing Robin Williams return to a fun comedy was more than welcome (BANGARANG!). Sure this wasn't an absolutely stunning stroke of comedic brilliance, but by no means was it painful to watch.
Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian ups the ante by not only bringing back all the original cast members, but throwing in Hank Azaria as Kah Mun Rah (not the same Rah character from the first), Bill Hader as General Custer, Amy Adams as Amelia Earhart, Christopher Guest as Ivan the Terrible, Eugene Levy as Albert Einstein, and even The Office's Ed Helms and Craig Robinson have a couple bit parts.
So since FirstShowing.net's Alex Billington called this "just plain awful" and /Film's Peter Sciretta refused to even post the trailer on his site, here it is for your own viewing and judgment, the first trailer for Night at the Museum: Battle of the Smithsonian.
