Folks, gotta be honest. This isn't all that funny. Oh, it has a few moments – but it's so predictable that the suspense is gone, which leaves only the humor. And the humor – just – isn't – that – funny.
Another thing – this is yet ANOTHER film of loser guys filming their pathetic wish that they'll end up with the beautiful girl. Even more, than they'll beat the crap out of a drop-dead gorgeous guy to get the girl. Okay, that's funny for the dweeb. But not for the rest of us. Having a body like Adam Sandler's (or the rest of those comics) NOT go to bed with me is not a tragedy.
I saw a clip of this movie on Conan the other night, I though the "star" pimping the movie was supposed to bring a clip that makes people WANT to see the movie…duh. It was the writer, I fogot his name.
EH, it will probably be pretty funny. Unlike most women, I like Sandler, and I like Rogan. I also LOVE Leslie Mann, and it's obvious she is good in this, and anything. She never gets the credit she deserves IMO. Of course, I died laughing watching the Hangover. Went with my 19 y old son, we cracked up.
Hey, I watched the "Hangover" too and I nearly fell off my seat laughing. That film was good in two ways – first, it was funny as hell. Second, I snuck in to see it after having sat 2 1/2 hours watching "Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince". That Potter film was so awful that I desperately needed a well-made movie to get my mind off what I'd just endured. "Hangover" did the trick.

I've never been big on Ben Stiller but Adam has done alot of good work over his career inside and outside his comdey. Fifty First Dates, Punch Drunk Love, Spanglish, The Wedding Singer and The Waterboy were very good films. The "J3W" humor as you put it – either you are being sarcastic and failing to be funny or I can chalk to up to another far-lefty/far-righter with a disdain for the Jewish – may of helped that.. or maybe it was his charisma that makes him likable to his audience.
The worst of Hollywood is in its rewarding people for mediocority and neither Ben nor Adam come to mind for that. Seth MacFarlane and his "amazing" ability to create the same show over and over and over on the other hand..

I hear ya, Caro! No one will accuse the Hangover as being some great art movie! It was silly, had a lame story line, and was crude. However, it was as good as candy as far as I'm concerned. I never watch tv, and sometimes you just want junk food. This is junk food.
Two of the most over rated and over exposed mediocre hacks to take up space on the big screen. Saw the trailer where he jokes with the DR about being a bad guy in Die Hard….That would have worked back in 1988-89 when Gudonov was more visible. "They just couldnt leave Gudonov alone" a line from the maybe worst TV show ever made. But that was funny at least.

It's the end of the world – and I feel haunted
Imagine that the entire world as you've known it has come to an end right before your eyes. Almost everyone has died, or gone crazy scavenging for food, even becoming cannibals in the name of survival. Your beautiful...

Movies about comedians are always depressing.
I think that's what Gates and Obama are trying to do the the police officer right now.
Thanks
I will wait for the DVD
ROTFLMAO! Damn, St. Dan, you owe me a screen wipe!

I'll wait for the DVD rip on Limewire.
I'll send Biden right over.
This "J3w humor" of Ben Stiller and Adam Sandler represent the very worst of Hollywood.
YEEEOOWWTTCH! Now that was funny, Dan! I think you are DEFINATELY right.

I'll wait for the DVD rip on Pirate Bay
