The Hangover numbers among those very few movies that can lay legitimate claim to the title "instant classic." As contrived, convoluted, twisted, silly, and slapstick as something woven from the three stooges meeting the Marx brothers, "The Hangover" nevertheless maintained its sincerity and inspired audiences' sympathy for the poor slobs they were watching screw-up at every available opportunity. We call that "comic genius.""Can The Hangover Part II possibly reprise the genius and do justice to the original? As the movie went into post-production, Hangover star Bradley Cooper shared his worries, telling The Los Angeles Times, "I'd be lying if I said I wasn't trepidatious." The el dos, the original characters travel to Bangkok, which Cooper characterized as "Las Vegas on steroids." Stu once again is scheduled for nuptials, and he has pre-empted a bachelor party rerun by scheduling a proper, safe, conservative pre-wedding brunch. Of course, the words "yeah, right" come to mind. The studio says, "What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can't even be imagined.""Cooper assuages his own and the audience's trepidations, claiming, ": "The script was better than the first one. The scope is larger. [Shooting it] went smoother than it did the first time in terms of letting spontaneous moments happen." Devoted fans have their fingers tightly crossed.

Zookeeper immediately deserves nomination for the "Cute" Hall of Fame. Or "precious" or "adorable" or one of those ever so warm and friendly adjectives that describe both people and animals you just want to hug with all your might. You must understand that the animals star in Zookeeper, and the people are the supporting cast. Naturally teddy-bearish Kevin James stars as Griffin Keyes, long-time zookeeper who doesn't get out much. More at home with his critters than members of his own species, the zookeeper bravely resolves to leave the zoo and venture out into the bigger world, where he hopes, naturally enough, he can get a life and get a girl. When the animals ferret-out Griffin's plan, they feel so desperately heart-broken they elect to break their "code of silence," revealing not only that they can talk but also that they have quite a bit to say on questions of love, romance, and mating. Rosario Dawson plays Kate, "the girl." The animals, of course, conspire to help their boy win the girl and to keep their happy family together. Seriously, how cute is that!"Zookeeper features an exceptionally high-powered collection of voice talents: Adam Sandler plays a Capuchin monkey, Cher appropriately plays a lioness opposite Sylvester Stallone's lion, Billy Crystal plays a llama, and the venerable Don Rickles gives us his very best frog. And that's just the headliners. Zookeeper also has the strange distinction of going into the film history books as the last movie MGM studios wrapped before it went into bankruptcy. That part isn't cute—just quirky.

There is a Frank Oz film "Death at a Funeral" of 2007 which stills is one of the best comedies ever. And there is the Nile LaBute's remake "Death at a Funeral" of 2010 which as it turned out was not confounded the original, and at one point even outrides it. Screenwriter of both projects is the same Craig Dean, so you should not expect the different approach to story. Hence, a logical question: Why? Why was it necessary to do all the same, just change the white English actors on the better-known for global audience the black American stars, without even changing one of the key roles Peter Dinklage as a short blackmailer here and there?

Richard Curtis once again attempted to combine several genres and cater to all audiences, without an exception. The Boat That Rocked is sprightly comedy about horny rock propagandists. The movie is complemented by a gentle romantic touch of first love. Then it turns into a melodrama about growing up, finding one's own ego and his father. Then strives to make the step in the direction of a musical with indispensable Nighy dancing. It almost went into the drama: the British government still slightly crossed the line against the disgraced radio. And once again it becomes a comedy. Richard Curtis by doing nothing supernatural managed to go beyond this or that genre, really pleased everyone by this charming and even, "mainstream" movie.

As movies go, Something Borrowed stays remarkably faithful to Emily Giffin's breakout best-seller, the movie's inspiration. Darcy, engaged to Dex, whose despicable behaviour must be forgiven in deference to the plot, throws a thirtieth birthday party for her very-very best friend Rachel. At party's end, perpetual good-girl Rachel ends-up in bed with Dex; and to no one's surprise except her own, Rachel subsequently finds herself constitutionally incapable of lettingh it go as a one-night stand. Give props to Ginnifer Goodwin as Rachel and Kate Hudson as Darcy, who hold their positions in the movie's unsteady love triangle with painstaking attention to the poignancy and precariousness of their situation as both best friends and bitter rivals."Of course, as her affair with Dex continues, Rachel finds herself torn between devotion to her still-engaged, still-oblivious best friend and her genuine affection for her pet philanderer. While Giffin's book rode the top of the charts, critics wrote, "Something Borrowed… will have you laughing, crying, and calling your best friend." Plan for the same reaction to the movie.

Vampires Suck is a 2010 Jason Friedberg's and Aaron Seltzer's comedy. Filming the spoof of "The Twilight Saga" was, of course, a matter of time. Too many young people have passed through the ordeal: two hours of boredom crawl in a chair while the girl next to drool over pale the metrosexuals. And it is very fertile ground for this mockery that Jason Friedberg and Aaron Zelttser, the creators of the latest film parodies, from "Scary Movie" to "Meet the Spartans, gladly plow. Involuntarily escaped from his mistress, Edward with a weekly bristles and a glass of whiskey in hand, crying alone on the "Sex and the City." Jacob pokes into the camera a contract according which he is obliged to remove his shirt every ten minutes. The "hardest" role of the main female character is played by Jenn Proske. She does not even need to say anything: this languid gait in slow, sleepy eyes and ever-dangling strand of hair. All those things backed up remarkably precise and witty. Homely schoolgirl Becca (Prosky) suffering first stage of autism moves with his father, the sheriff (Bader) in Sporks place. Everything in this town seems odd: people threatening rocks, strangers continually strive to bite his neck, the poor are willing to work for the blood of Dentistry wildly sign with fangs. At school, Becca falls in love with Edward Salle (Lanter), not parted with hairspray vampire vegetarian, drinking the animals and the Atlanta housewives blood only…
