Hungover with no memory

Four guys go out for a bachelor party that they can't recollect. Sounds like a winning formula to me. Heaven knows I have never had a black out night before, but if I had, I would hate to wake up to such a nightmare has there. The best part about it, is you get to laugh at their predicament.

The film places the viewer on a traumatic roller coaster as you follow along the story line, putting back the night before piece by piece. Unfortunately, it is really hard to follow. Such and such happened at one time, and something else happened before that.... but I think the first thing had an effect on something two hours later. Basically, the film doesn't do a great job of placing events in chronological order which really wouldn't be a problem, but it seems to be main focus of the characters and of the plot. If you are going to go with a movie theme you should stick to it. However this point will probably be missed by many as the events from the night before are very surprising and outlandish that one could care less when it happened.

Unfortunately, the previews show many of the funny parts. There are a few here and there that might catch you by surprise, but for the most part, you have an idea on what you are getting into. Going to Olive Garden, I bet you are going to eat Italian. The movie tried to be as random as Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, leaving the viewer completely unaware of what might happen next, but it fails due knowledge given away in the trailers.

Although the ride of recollection with the characters is fun, the acting really isn't that great. The events kind of hide this aspect too. However, the events could not save the abrupt ending which took place. It is like being in the middle of the best sex ever, and your In-Laws knock on your door, except you are forced to stop and answer the damn door. Just plain sucks.

If you are a fan of stupid funny movies, this one is worth your time. Don't expect the world, just some laughs. I give this one a threesome out of a Cherry Pit (3 out of 5). If you have ever blacked out from drinking, this might be one of your stories. You could probably relate.
