For me, the current wave of awesome comedy flicks didn't start with Judd Apatow (though much respect him as he's done most of the heavy lifting). No, comedy started getting awesome for me again (like the previous golden age thanks to the National Lampoon/SNL/SCTV folks in the late 70s and early 80s that I grew up on) in 2003 with the release of Old School, which I've talked about before.
Well, Todd Phillips, the mastermind behind Old School, along with Road Trip (2000), Starsky & Hutch (2004) and School for Scoundrels (2006) which I didn't love, has a new movie coming out soon called The Hangover about three dudes (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis) who wake up Dude Where's My Car-style in Vegas missing the their buddy the groom. You know what else it has? Mike Tyson and Phil Collins together! (kinda). I laughed so hard the very first time I saw the first trailer, I almost couldn't stop. i then showed it to everyone int he office and laughed as much every time. It's the one with Tyson punching a dude, amazing. Well, I'm so enthused about this flick I thought I'd provide you with every trailer I could find with a basic search on YouTube. Enjoy!
Haha, of course, I write this whole thing only to find that most of the trailers on YouTube have had embedding turned off. Well, here's the one I could find, check for links below.

Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but please try to use the word "awesome" less. I think it'd improve your writing.
ReplyDeleteDon't listen to that guy. The word awesome is the bedrock of good writing. He's obviously unhappy that his life is not more awesome.
ReplyDeleteA reasonable substitute though? Rad.
Hey I gotta be me. Awesome, rad and cool are all part of the vocab.
