My reaction
Synopsis: three guys can’t remember last night, and their best friend is missing
How I saw it: in the theater, October 2009; on video, a couple weeks ago
Concept: Good. It was already a good concept in Dude Where’s My Car?, and it’s pushed farther here.
Story: Indifferent. It’s not a romantic comedy, but they still manage to rely heavily on romantic comedy cliches.
Characters: Good.
Dialog: Great.
Pacing: Great.
Cinematography: Indifferent.
Special effects/design: Good.
Acting: Indifferent. With the exception of Galifianakis’ character and “Mr. Chow,” it’s never the performance that makes things funny.
Music: Bad.
Subjective Rating: 7/10 (Good). Very funny. I didn’t think it would be so good a second time (most of the humor comes from a series of really strange and unexpected things, which might not be funny anymore after you’re expecting them and have an explanation for them), but it's still good. Maybe not as hilarious as the first time, but still good.
Objective Rating: 2.7/4 (Good).
