Hangover

There’s this old movie everyone I know considers sacred—Eurotrip, the one with all the dumb kids drinking across Europe. We genuinely thought nothing would ever be that funny. Then we finally watched The Hangover.

I couldn’t function for like an hour. Literally couldn’t stop laughing. The whole thing just works—the setup, the timing, Mike Tyson casually appearing halfway through like it’s the most natural thing in the world. I was making those awful wheezing sounds, the kind where you have to stop watching because your eyes won’t focus.

So to the maybe two people I know who haven’t seen it yet: you need to. Not a recommendation. A requirement. It’s that good.

And to anyone out there trying to make a comedy: if you already know in your gut it won’t be this funny, save yourself the effort. The standard is set now. Nothing’s going higher.
