Road Trip

My Rating : 3/5

After watching 'Hangover', I got impressed by Todd Philips and started downloading all his films. This was the third film of Todd Philips that I watched within a month.
After watching Old School, I didn't have much expectations about this one but this was gud. I liked watching this and I think that there is a scope of remaking this in Malayalam

Old School

My Rating : 2/5

Came to know about this movie while browsing google for more info about the director of Hangover, Todd Philips. Read in the reviews that it is not as good as Hangover but I thought of giving it a try.

Reviews where right :)
Plot summary in IMDB:

Mitch, Frank and Beanie are disillusioned with their personal lives begining when Mitch's nymphomanic girlfriend, Heidi, cheats on him, then former party animal Frank gets married, but unwilling to get go of his wild life, and Beanie is a family man seeking to reclaim his wild and crazy youth. Beanie suggests that they form their own fraternity in Mitch's new house on a college campus to re-live their glory days by bringing together a variety of misfit college students, losers, middle-aged and elderly retirees as their new friends and later try to avoid being evicted by the new Dean of Students, Pritchard, whom still holds a personal grudge against all three of them.

The scene in which Frank (Will Ferrell) is streaking down the street and his wife drives by him and tells him to get in the car was hilarious

The Hangover

My Rating : 4/5

This movie was suggested by Manu during one of our boozing sessions. I was so moved by the concept of the movie, that i wanted to watch the movie that day itself. But due to obvious reasons (by the end of the boozing session) i forgot about this movie....HANGOVER

A few days later, I got this movie from Sivan. The whole idea of this movie was marvellous. Its all about four friends celebrating bachelors party at Lasvegas.
The plot summary in IMDB reads thus
"Angelenos Doug Billings and Tracy Garner are about to get married. Two days before the wedding, the four men in the wedding party - Doug, Doug's two best buddies Phil Wenneck and Stu Price, and Tracy's brother Alan Garner - hop into Tracy's father's beloved Mercedes convertible for a 24-hour stag party to Las Vegas. Phil, a married high school teacher, has the same maturity level as his students when he's with his pals. Stu, a dentist, is worried about everything, especially what his controlling girlfriend Melissa thinks. Because she disapproves of traditional male bonding rituals, Stu has to lie to her about the stag, he telling her that they are going on a wine tasting tour in the Napa Valley. Regardless, he intends on eventually marrying her, against the advice and wishes of his friends. And Alan seems to be unaware of what are considered the social graces of the western world. The morning after their arrival in Las Vegas, they awaken in their hotel suite each with the worst hangover. None remembers what happened in the past twelve or so hours. The suite is in shambles. And certain things are in the suite that shouldn't be, and certain things that should be in the suite are missing. Probably the most important in the latter category is Doug. As Phil, Stu and Alan try to find Doug using only what little pieces of information they have at hand, they go on a journey of discovery of how certain things got into the suite and what happened to the missing items. However they are on a race for time as if they can't find Doug in the next few hours, they are going to have to explain to Tracy why they are not yet back in Los Angeles. And even worse, they may not find Doug at all before the wedding."

No wonder it was one of the biggest box office grossers of hollywood...The most interesting part of the movie is to watch its Titles at the end of the movie. The whole movie and what happened on the D Day is well narrated using photos. The scene when the Doc removes his teeth to prove that actually he is a Doc is hilarious..
