At first glance, the movie Hangover might seem like all other funny, senseless flicks that abound in the very, very huge tube these days. However, I do find something sentimental and thought-provoking about it.
This is another unplanned movie night. I was just checking my mails at home when my brother pointed out that I should watch the movie saved in the home PC's desktop, so he can delete it already. Since I was a couple of hours early at home that night, I obliged for some laughs before I hit the sack.
I did get some laugh from it. In addition to that, I was amazed at the great friendship between the guys in the film. Maybe it's because guys do not usually show their loyalty and talk about their bond as much as girls do. It's just touching how they showed their care for each other. It is, more or less, normal for guys to act immature and completely like kids at times, but when the serious stuff comes around, it is nice that they are able to stand up together and really help and pull each other out of the trouble that they got themselves into. There were moments when tempers went ablaze, terrible words were uttered, and punches were thrown here and there, but in the end though, they were concerned about each other's welfare. Phil, despite his constant easygoing personality, kept on telling Stu what a bad idea it was to think about marrying his controlling live-in partner. The guys also did everything they could and dealt with tigers, casinos, Mike Tyson and even a Chinese gangster (who looks gay, by the way) just to save their friend and have him ready for his wedding.
This just makes me realize one thing about guys. They do stick to each other and stand up for each other, even though they do not talk a lot about it. This might be a good thing in general, but for the girlfriends, this might prove to be a problem. Guys can lie together to protect each other, even when the clear evidence of their misdeeds are already there.
PS. I said they can, not that they all do :)
