Not Better Than The Hangover... But Close, Very Close To Be
6 January 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Call me crazy if you want to, because this is my fourth favorite movie. Better than Horrible Bosses? No. Better than The Hangover? No. Better than The Hangover Part 2? No. But, as I said before, this is honestly my fourth favorite movie.

Lets start of by saying that this movie has an awesome cast, including Robert Downey Jr., known from Iron Man, Iron Man 2, Tropic Thunder, Sherlock Holmes and much other movies, the great Zach, one of my favorite actors, which was just hilarious in this movie, totally hilarious, for two reasons, first, because he's the same actor, and second, it looks like Zach Galifianakis is the same character in this movie and in The Hangover and The Hangover Part 2, only with a different name, right, but even though, I didn't thought that was a bad thing, it all, Zach Galifianakis is known from The Hangover, The Hangover Part 2, G-Force, What Happens In Vegas, Dinner for Schmucks, It's Kind of a Funny Story and much other movies, the cast also includes Michelle Monaghan, which was okay n this movie, even tough she had a small role, but she was an important character though, she is known from The Heart-Break Kid and some other movies, there's also a bit of Juliette Lewis in this movie, she was hilarious in it, even tough she had like a 5 minutes screen time, she is known from The Switch, Whip It and some other movies, Danny McBride who did also had just a few minutes screen time, but he was very funny in it, Danny is known from Pinaeplle Express, The Foot Fist Way, The Heart- Break Kid, Hot , Your Higness, 30 Minutes or Less and much other movies and the cast also includes the director of this movie, and the both Hangover movies, the director Todd Phillips, which had an okay small role, his role looked like his role in The Hangover when he was in the elevator, Todd Phillips is known from directing The Hangover, The Hangover Part 2, Old School, starring in The Hangover and not much more than that and other guy who I was forgetting about, Jamie Foxx also stars in this movie with a nice role, Jamie Foxx is known from, lets see, my favorite movie, Horrible Bosses, The Soloist (which Downey Jr. also appeared in), Ray and some other movies. Sow, as you can see, this movie has a great cast, but that's just a small great thing from this new masterpiece.

Peter Highman (Downey Jr.) is an architect who's heading home so he can be there for his son's birth, his pregnant wife, Sarah Highman (Monaghan) makes sure that everything is according to plan and he comes back at the due date. After a little accident in an airplane, which was supposed to take Peter home, caused by Ethan Chase/Tremblay (Galifianakis), Peter is now on the no fly list because of him. Peter has no way going home but going with Ethan in his car so he they can both can get back to Los Angeles, Peter, to can get to his son's birth and Ethan will have to make it there so he can have a meeting with his agent (Ethan is an actor). Everything was going okay, but Peter didn't know that he was going to have a long ride and he didn't know that Ethan is probably the worst person that he ever met. Ethan will only make bad things during the trip, he will spend all their necessary money on drugs, he will go to a waffle house even though he knows he's allergic to waffles, he will be constantly be talking during the trip, he will still a cop car and... he will fall a sleep during in a car where Peter is also sleeping and he will let the car fall from a bridge, but those are just some of the bad things he will do along that crazy road-trip. Can Peter make it to Los Angeles surviving one of the most horrible persons he ever met?

Sow, this is just a masterpiece, first, I can't look at this movie without laughing, when I see Galifianakis on a scenes, I just can't stop laughing, this road-trip movie is just hilarious, entertaining and much better than some recent comedies, in a minute you will be watching a thing in it, and in the other scenes you will be watching a totally different thing in it. Okay, as I said, this is my fourth favorite, some people didn't like it, and some probably will not, but one thing is for sure, if someone watch this movie, it will laugh so hard that will want to pause the movie just can get back breading. Fourth best movie ever. 100% recommended. Grade: A+.
