The Hangover

I did not intend to watch this film. Someone told me it was funny. It wasn't.

The film is worse than not funny it is ignorantly offensive and irritating. There were (unfunny) jokes about rape, homophobic jokes (also unfunny), (unfunny) racist stereotypes, (unfunny) jokes about social isolation, there was a cameo from a convicted rapist, and just a general sense of idiocy and catering to idiocy.

There is a section of American society that throws around the word fag and revels in "getting wasted". The whole premise of the film was celebrating people like this going to Las Vegas, a cultural embarrassment and moron magnet.

The only reason I kept watching it was the plot which was ultimately resolved in a clumsy way.
