#14 The Hangover

I finally got around to seeing this one. It is by far the funniest movie I have seen in along time. We snuck in after seeing "Funny People," and it nearly erased my memories of it. The story of fours guys who wake up the night after a bachelor party which many insane things happened, but no one can remember. All they know is that the groom cant be found, and the must somehow sort through clues form the previous night to find where they left him. Zach Galifinakis finally gets his turn on the big screen and he steals every scene with his dry and sometimes bizarre wit. I can only imagine that after this we will be seeing a lot more of him, and that is fine by me.

Highly Recommended

#13 Funny People

Another hit for Judd Apatow only this time in a more serious vein. The film deals with marital discourse and death, but still has plenty of laughs. As in most of his films the co-stars steal the show. This time it being Jason Schwartman and Jonah Hill who drop in whenever the films needsvto be lightened up a little. Another thing I really enjoyed in this film is how they used old footage of Adam Sandler (as well as other characters) from his early days of standup to meld in scenes of his younger days. Lastly the scene of the movie has to go to the performances at the Myspace.com show and the great cameo by James Taylor.

#12 Bruno

I'll start by saying that Bruno is a very funny movie, and definitely goes where no rated R movie ever has. If you were offended by Borat then you don't stand a chance with Bruno. Unfortunately it doesn't play very well as a movie. It feels like a bunch of skits strung together with a week plot. Which is probably more evident when you read the original title "Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay."
