An average movie

I wasn’t expecting much from the damned thing but since I have a weak spot for Miles Teller, I thought I might as well check it out. Well, to be honest, I have to admit that the beginning was actually seriously promising. Sure, Miles Teller was basically playing his usual smartass guy but I think he was just really fun and, above all, this trio of friends was quite charismatic and surprisingly well developed for once. On top of that, the prospect of watching them going through a wild night of binge drinking sounded pretty neat. Indeed, I never really understood what was supposed to be so fun about ‘The Hangover’. Indeed, having a hangover is hardly any fun at all, and I wish we could instead watch these guys partying the whole night which would have been so much more fun . In this case, unfortunately, just way too early in the movie, Jeff Chang got way too drunk and the rest of the movie was about his buddies struggling to get him home in one piece. Seriously, the whole idea was hardly entertaining, I’m afraid, and I don’t really understand why the makers ruined a perfect opportunity to see some charismatic characters doing some wild sh*t while being under the influence of alcohol and/or other illegal substances. At least, in this case, you still get to see the 2 other characters having some fun and the Tower of Power in particular was actually pretty neat. Still, even if the whole thing felt like a missed opportunity, it was miles better than I expected though. Anyway, to conclude, in spite of a rather misguided approach, I had a weak spot for these guys and I think the damned thing is actually worth a look, especially if you really like the genre.
