     OK being a big "politics" guy is not my thing.  My roommate is a big end of days, bomb shelter type of guy.
I was asked to go and review the film.  So let me first say
that shelling out 18.00 a ticket was a little fucking steep.
Maybe because it was a Fathom Events deal, but 18.00
a head is overpriced.  The show itself wasn't too bad.  As
expected Mr. Beck was assaulting everybody from every
political branch, pointing out America's flaws and nailing some decent jokes. 

     We had a break after the first hour and I guess it was just me, but it seemed that everybody around me was a middle class white male or female.  It also did not help when people around me began talking about bomb shelters and 2012.  Mr. Beck came back onstage dressed like a Colonial, to which Glen began bashing on our abused freedom, out of control government and so on.
the last 10 minutes of his show was spent on going on about the tea party and big government.

     All in all if you dig this guy or want to hear somebody babble on about people and one line zingers, then this is for you.  Only if you can shell out 18.00 a ticket.

     Man.....  When I saw this during a media screening It was obvious this film was a fucking winner.  Non stop laughs, Realistic Characters, and a vicious sense of humor.
With the release of I Love You Man, and other such comedies with the Judd Apatow Posse being released i was looking for something new.  Don't get me wrong, Mr. Apatow has a solid foundation of great actors and great movies, but Something different was needed and this was it.

    So the story is nothing new, 4 friends going to Vegas to have a Bachelor Party for the friend.  this was just the simple of it, what made this movie awesome was the Characters. Phil- A seedy Teacher who hates his life and scams his students, Stu- The dentist who is a pussy and has his girlfriend tell him that he is, Doug-the good guy Bachelor, and Alan- the weird step brother of the bachelor who is just fucking out there.

    Once the friends get to Vegas it's a sleigh ride full of laughs and twisted Humor.  The friends check in, get drunk and BLANK.......The next morning is what I can only describe as a nightmare....Pounding Heads, Burnt Furniture, Missing teeth, and  Tiger in the Bathroom, oh and where the hell is Doug?!?!?!  This becomes the main focus of the film, and everything that the guys run into along the the way seems to add missing parts to the puzzle of "what the fuck happened last night??"

     We see a naked Chinese man hop out of a trunk and whip ass with a cane, a doctor who has the best directions for finding places, An Escort bride with a holocaust ring, and soooooooo much more!  I felt at times that i was a part of the gang trying to figure out what happened while nursing a vicious hangover.

    I highly suggest you see this movie, and if you do stick around for the vegas photos..
