I am in a quandary whether I should spoil the fun for you guys by telling you the entire plot. To tell the truth, I googled the movie before watching it. But, I still enjoyed the movie nonetheless. It is still filled with anticipation, as I waited for the expected scenes to happen. (Sounds ironical and a little unbelievable, but it’s the truth)Tell you what, if you really want to know the storyline, go google it yourself. There is like a million and one sources. If I am not wrong, the most intrinsically articulated article lies in Wiki. So don’t read it, if you want 100% suspense.
All in all, this film lives up to its reputation. Most of the critics raved about it in their reviews. The lowest grade given was 4 stars. Saying that it is equivalent to the male version of “The Hangover” is probably the most succinct review that can be made. It is like The Hangover with more emotional break-downs, mental melt-downs and actions that strongly associate with females such as screaming “OMG” repeatedly in delight.
I don’t really think guys can truly appreciate the beauty of the film. There was a guy going “eww” at the food-poisoning scene. Seriously, sometimes I think guys are delusional. Girls are human too? We puke, shit, fart and pee. So what do you think comes out when we do that, rainbows, candy floss decorated with glitter and everything nice?
This film is good in a sense that females can easily relate to it and that guys should probably open their eyes and realize this is how females are actually like behind your back. The sense of uneasiness when your life is going downhill but you still have to fake a smile to congratulate your friend when things are looking up for her, you are sad for your own fuck up life but you are truly happy for your friend but you don’t know why you can’t put on the big happy face, the screaming then end up blubbering uncontrollably with tears streaming from your face during a silly argument that you know seem childish and unreasonable, the feeling of neglect when all your friends have a life and are too busy for your troubles that seem too big to handle – I think everyone probably experienced it once it a while. For the ladies, the emotions in the film fully reflect the sisterly bond in the clique.
It doesn’t really matter that there is no hot guys in the film. (Yes, my roving eyes are always on the prowl!) Lol! The focus is not on the guys anyway, that’s hangover! Everybody looks ugly in the film. Weary faces, moping about in PJs, crunched up faces with smeared make-up when tearing, yeah, that’s a part of life. Hollywood should try reflecting it in their future movies. Stop perfecting the scene for its so-called movie magic because it is not realistic. How many of my friends look beautiful when crying? Not one girl. I am not being mean or anything. I look disgusting when I cry too. But that’s reality; we all look shit when we cry especially when the mucus drip out. I don’t even know whether I should wipe it for you or ask you to sniff it back up to where it belongs. Totally stomach-churning! So don’t cry if you want to look like a million bucks instead of a million Baht.
For guys, you will probably leave the film thinking “holy cow, girls are freaking mental!” How can they swear curse words one moment, then cry like they are insane? I don’t know. I call it the overwhelming rush of emotions in which you are at a loss of how to react, so we cry? How could they just answer the call of nature just anywhere? If it’s an urgent call, we don’t have a choice, dear. How could you… How could you… How could you… Yes, we can because perfection is not dependent on gender. There are times when we are down, we are sick and we go mental for the most ridiculous and slightest detail. We are insane bitches when we snap. But if you hold our hair back for us when we puke into the toilet bowl, let us cry on your shoulder, drenching your shirt with sweat, tears and mucus, we will transform to your little angels who will be there to support you during your hangover. And when you cry, we will erm cry with you as emotional support, telling you “I can feel the pain you are going through” Lol!
So I should go to the movie and watch it? Yes you should, I laughed throughout the entire show so it is indeed value for money.
It is M18, but it doesn’t show much boobs-baring, pants-dropping acts. I think it is quite acceptable. If Anna Ah Ma thinks it’s still acceptable too, then it is. Just close your eyes in the first and last scene, it can be disturbing for the pure-minded.
So go watch the movie and get some clues on your duties as my bridesmaid. Haha. Yea, the fireworks are cool. Preferred but not a must. Oh man, fireworks! Sigh…
