Last night I saw the Warner Bros. new comedy The Hangover directed by Todd Phillips (who has a most excellent elevator cameo) and am pleased to report it lives up to its trailers and I expect it to become the comedy hit of the summer. I am not sure how high it will actually be able to go since it is rated R, but one of the things it really has going for it is that it doesn’t rely heavily on outrageous laughs as much as it just had me smiling the entire way through. Walking out of the theater I could actually feel my face finally relaxing as it had been stuck in perma-smile for the past 100 minutes.
I mention all of this because Funny or Die has debuted a new musical clip montage using a song sung by Ed Helms’ character, Stu, in the film. I’m not really sure how well this video works outside of the confines of the film, but it does work once you see it on screen. On top of that, this clip gives away a lot… So if you want to go in fresh and maintain a little bit of first-hand surprise in the theater you may want to skip it.
The Hangover hits theaters on June 5, check out the clip below and for more on the film click here.
