The Hangover

Warner Bros. Pictures

Rated R

Running time: 100 minutes




The Hangover is about four guys going to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. It gives new meaning to "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" or more appropriately "What happened in Vegas?" After a wild night, the guys can't remember what happened, and spend the rest of the movie figuring out what happened that night - especially since they misplaced the groom-to-be. This film seems like an adult version of Superbad as all sorts of outrageous events happen to the guys, one of the guys even had a Las Vegas wedding. Too bad the baby is not as involved with the story as the trailer makes it out to be, which means the movie is NOT a remake of Three Men and a Baby as the marketing campaigns make it appear to be.

Rated R for sexual situations and violence. Running time: 100 minutes.

The Proposal

Touchstone Pictures

Rated PG-13

Running time: 108 minutes



The Proposal, the story of Canadian boss Sandra Bullock coerces her American executive secretary Ryan Reynolds to marry her - or she will be deported.

While cute and predictable, The Proposal is a cynical version of While You Were Sleeping as Sandra Bullock switches from her usual good girl character - to a bitchy character. In fact, many of the story elements were the exact opposite of While You Were Sleeping. The most obvious comparison of the two movies is the wedding scene as her opinion of Reynolds upgrades from lowly secretary to prodigal rich son with a loving family. If you don't mind feeling as if you have seen this movie before, then this movie is for you.

Rated PG-13 for sexual situations. Running time: 108 minutes.
