Question to anyone who dislikes 'The Hangover'
Do/did you enjoy partying and getting drunk?
It would explain a lot to me if the answer would be 'no'.

Yes, and I didn't like this film at all.
But your question is completely ignorant. Someone HAS to like getting drunk and party in order to like this film?
I just proved that wrong I guess.

Yeah, i do, but i didn't find this LOL funny, more just a few smirks here and there.
As i said before, it's more interesting than funny.
People who DON'T like this movie, just DON'T have a sense of humor! PERIOD!
shareNot necessarily. I truly expected to love this movie but as I sat down to watch it with my roommate, I was noticing that there were certain things in there that were supposed to be funny and I didn't laugh. I thought it was just me, but my roommate wasn't laughing either.
Don't get my wrong, it's not hard to make me laugh. I love silly humor movies. American Pie and Something about mary still make me laugh...this just wasn't funny....Oh wait, I chuckled a bit when the naked guy jumped out of the car but that was about it...
I also laugh at just about anything. The dumbest scenes crack me up - but I was incredibly disappointed with The Hangover. I think I was expecting too much. I can't stand the actor that played the dentist - honestly I might not have watched the movie had I known he was a major character.
I did laugh at Zach Gsomethingagis many times, because he is just fun to laugh at - I was hoping for a nice twist involving the death of the Dentist - Mike Tyson was so terribly awful in this movie - the guy from the trunk was too over the top and contrived and OF COURSE they had to make him gay - and so many of these scenes have been played out again and again over the years that it was like watching a tv situational comedy rerun for the tenth time. The guys just walked around exclaiming 'Man, this is so _ _ ) _ _ "over and over and over...and the tiger waking up in the car? That scene was funny when Chris Farley and David Spade did it with the deer in Tommy Boy.
The funniest movie I have seen in recent years has been HOT FUZZ! Love that movie! Had to immediately rewatch it.

I think greatly enjoying those shows/movies qualifies me as having "a sense of humor", despite not laughing at the predictable, frat-boy-targeted, pale knock off of Very Bad Things which this movie is. Granted, it might not be YOUR sense of humor, but it is one nonetheless. So get over yourself.
My apologies to everyone else if I just fed a troll.
@ VickyTyler...
Wow! Did you run away, arms flailing, eyes tearing to your Mommy after posting that "People who DON'T like this movie, just DON'T have a sense of humor! PERIOD!"?
I am so sorry that every human being doesn't necessarily share your sense of humor, and the anguish it has caused you. I may never understand the pain and psychological strain thrown upon you from others whose opinion of humor differs from your own.
I find Monty Python hysterical...whereas many others do not. But, fortunately I can accept that humor and what each individual finds funny is objective.
But I now stand before you corrected and forced to admit that I should have liked this overrated movie because VickiTyler is the Goddess of the sense of humor. PERIOD!
Please do not attack me for my opinions...we're all entitled to them.
I didn't "dislike" it, I just didn't find it as funny other people did.
Not really sure what disliking the movie on the basis of partying and getting drunk have to with much. And if you're making assumptions about people who didn't like the movie based on just their answer to your question then...
Then imo you have a lot of learning still to do.

didn't enjoy this movie until multiple viewings - definitely funnier the 3rd or 4th time
shareI actually love partying but was disappointed with this movie. I expected to laugh my a.ss off but all I did was chuckle a bit here and there. Definitely overrated.
shareI am 36 now. In my 20's it was unheard of not to be drunk and partying on a weekend or sometimes weekdays. Now it is less frequent but I still enjoy partying from time to time and getting drunk.
I'm shocked by how many people liked this movie. It was not clever or funny. Slightly amusing at best. Everyone who gets drunk has drunk stories. This is just a bunch of drunk stories compiled into one night and exagerated. Anyone could come up with this. Crazy things happening when you're drunk isn't original; it's not creative, and if it goes on for more than 5 minutes, it's boring. I would never want to sit for an hour and a half listening to my friends' drunk stories, nor am I interested in sitting through fictional ones.
I could come up with a movie like this in about 30 seconds. I'll try it, now: I eat magic mushrooms with a bunch of friends in Vegas, only we eat 3X as many as we were supposed to because it was our first time and we misunderstood. We wake up in the morning with Phil Helmuth who is leaving our hotel and he now owns all our homes and cars from poker. There's a transvestite coming out of the bathroom, we have one of those dogs that Paris Hilton has, we all have horrible tattoos on our privates, and two of us (men) are married to each other. There. I just scripted a movie as good as the Hangover minus a bit of mediocre dialogue: 9/10.
I liked the movie on a plot and entertainment basis but I only found it mildly chuckle-worthy. I do enjoy getting wasted every once in a while, but it's definitely not something I like to make a habit out of. Not because I look down upon it but because I have a legit phobia of throwing up.
That didn't have anything to do with why I didn't think it was funny, though. I just found the humor to be very predictable and one note. The situations werent predictable but the punchline of every humorous scene was.
Will I wait a lonely lifetime?
If you want me to, I will.
I'm 19 and I've been parying prtty much every day since i dropped out at 16. and even before that I was still partying whenever I had the chance. Which is why i thought I would love this movie. was sadly disappointed.
Where the **** are my hard-boiled eggs?
That's the most flawed premise I've heard in awhile. I know people who almost never drink who loved this movie (including one friend's 70-something mother) and people who are borderline alcohlics and hated it.
I've never been drunk, but I don't think that's why the humor was lost on me. I mean, I've never been to a children's beauty pageant, but I still laughed until I cried when I saw Little Miss Sunshine. I hadn't been to a live baseball game until I'd seen Major League maybe 20 times, but I still loved that. I just don't see the humor in The Hangover. It wasn't awful, but it wasn't all that funny, either.
