I'm really surprised to see how much everyone loved this one, it had a couple funny moments, but beyond the fat bearded guy, I really didn't think it was that funny.

WOW!

:mulli:

Go to doctor and get sense of humor checked. :D

Just called my doctor, he said that he thought it wasn't that great either.

It definitely had funny moments, but I thought it lost steam as the story went on. I found Pineapple Express and I Love You Man to be much better comedies.

Then again, I find Total Recall hilarious, so to each their own.

I agree , and when I say it out loud I get similar reactions as those above. I have coworkers that put the movie in their top 5 all time. I dont even think it was the funniest recent movie. I agree that the 2 you listed are funnier and also role models and drag me to hell got more laughs from me. It is funny though, just not THAT funny.

I agree that this movie was hysterical and a complete riot from beginning to end. I put it on par with Old School. I was worried that I'd be disappointed with this film, because I had ZERO expectations of Old School, which then blindsided me with how funny it was. Still, this flick did indeed live up to my expectations.

Now, is it up there with your Animal Houses and Caddyshacks? No way. Then again, what is?

The movie was a riot. The wife and I laughed from start to end. I was worried all the funny parts would be in the previews but the previews itself does it no justice for how funny this movie really is.

Every character was perfectly played. The naked chinese guy was an awesome character.

One man wolf pack.

We went and saw this last night for the second time after quite a few beers from Four Peaks. So fun!

This is one of the five funniest movies I have ever seen. I disagree with Stout completely.

I agree with Stout. Had funny parts, but far from the funniest movie that I have ever seen.

Uh, perhaps you mildly disagree with me, but not completely in the least. I thought it was hysterical from start to finish and I LOVED it. I just don't think it's there with the Animal Houses of the world.

I Love You Man was terrible compared to The Hangover. I was dying the entire movie. Mike Tyson's security footage had me crying...

Definitely one of the funniest of the year, but I'm still partial to 40-Year-Old Virgin.

Definitely not as funny as all the reports I read. The fat guy was the best, but I guess I came in with too high expectations. Still fun to watch though.

Bradley Cooper is freaking delicious.
