At the Movies with Fatwayne

What is that you just thought? You want to laugh, laugh hard and laugh often! Well, Dr. Fatwayne has just the medicine for you. Get your butt over to the theater and catch “The Hangover.” Before you go you should be aware that this movie is “R” rated and deservedly so.

Three friends decide to take their buddy to Las Vegas for a bachelor party only days before his wedding. The three friends are not exactly the most mature sort even though one is a dentist, one a schoolteacher and the third is the groom’s brother-in-law to be (he is crazy but innately smart).

When they arrive they go to the roof of the hotel (Caesars Palace) to toast this finest of nights. Amidst the awesome Vegas light show they hoist their glasses of Jaegermeister to toast each other as Phil Wenneck (the school teacher) proclaims, “To a night the four of us will never forget!” And how perceptive he is only it will be some time before they can actually recall just what happened that night.

The reason for this complete memory loss is not only because of the copious amounts of booze consumed by the guys but because the crazy bro-in-law to be, Alan Garner, spiked their Jaegermeister with roofies (the date rape drug) which resulted in their complete inability to remember the events of the night.

We know that a grand time was had by all when, after the fateful toast the scene shifts to the next morning in the hotel room. Bodies are strewn across the floor, a chair is smoking, there is a chicken or two running around, a stripper is slipping out of the door, one of the guys is missing a tooth (Stu Price the dentist), a baby is in the closet and worst of all, a Bengal tiger is inhabiting the bathroom! Oh, did I mention that they have lost the groom, (Doug Billings)? All of this with no memory as to just what had occurred. They decide that they have to retrace their steps if they are to find Doug so the first thing they do is get their car from the parking attendant. When the guys think it could not get any worse, the attendant delivers what he thinks is their car since this is the one they checked in. Only this vehicle is not the same color as theirs, in fact, it is black and white with sirens. That’s right, somehow they stole a police car.

There is a tremendous amount of laughter and fun as well as some surprises in store for our guys as they try to deduce the whereabouts of the groom to be. Watch out for the naked Asian crime lord (Mr Chow) who lays into the guys! After he beats the crap out of them, Phil says, “Who was that guy? He was so mean!”

Eventually the guys are united again and race to make the wedding on time still not knowing exactly what just happened to them. Finally, one of the fellows discovers a camera that they feared they had lost. As they scan through the images they are able to put together exactly what went down.

Let me tell you that you must stay through the credits since this is when we get to see all of the debauchery that occurred thanks to the newly found camera. This is close to soft porn but is also hilarious! Look for some familiar faces in the photos.

If this movie doesn’t make you laugh out loud, maybe you should check to see if you have a lemon in your mouth!
