Silence is more than golden



I was not one of the first people to see
The Hangover when it first came out. The hype behind it kind of made me doubt it was as good as everyone said. When I did see it, I laughed out loud many many times and thought it was a great movie.

So when The Hangover 2 was released I knew there was no way they could recapture the magic the first film had. Plus, Hollywood does such a great job with the trailers you wonder if those are all the truly funny parts AND they end up giving away too many surprises.

I laughed out loud again. While the general story line is similar there are a number of plot twists and some big laughs.

A couple came into the theatre 5 minutes before the lights went off. They talked non-stop until & during the commercials, chatted through the previews without taking a breath which is something I can live with; get it out of your system. I kept thinking that when the movie started they would quiet down and enjoy it. Nope... their conversation continued through the opening credits. Again I thought, NOW is when they will stop. NOPE.

I turned around, "Are you going to talk during the whole movie?" I said in a deep voice while smiling & looking them both in the eyes. She looked embarrassed but he did not.

"Take it easy buddy," he replied shooting me a dirty look.

This is where I put on my angry face as simply say; "SHUT UP NOW!"

It worked. Not a peep out of them for the rest of the flick!
