Is there a joke more familiar and fagged-out than the bachelor party? Didn't think so. I dragged my ass to
The Hangover like a man awaiting execution by cliché. Set in Las Vegas, of all trite places, the script is by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, who perpetrated the crimes of
Four Christmases and
Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Director Todd Phillips has better cred, what with
Road Trip and
Old School, but could he save this shipwreck-in-the-making?
