"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Saw it the other thinking it might be good, but I absolutely loved it.

It didn't have the funniest scenes in the history of comedy, but it was entertaining from start to finish. I was laughing the whole movie.

Bonus- Excellent portrayals of a Super Alpha dude and a Super Pu$$y Whipped Beta dude. The Alpha is a school teacher who steals money from his students field trip fund for a bachelor party in Vegas, the Beta wants to marry a chick who beat him twice and cheated on him with a bartender on a cruise ship.

Great flick. Check it out.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

I used to love Bachelor Party movies. Then a few years ago I saw one with Kal Penn and a few other no name actors which also took place in Vegas. God what an awful movie, I can't remember the name though.

Fast forward a few years and this movie comes out. From the previews, it looks like Dude Where's My Car? - Because both movies are about trying to figure out what happened the night BEFORE. If the night BEFORE is so awesome, why don't they just show THAT night to begin with? LOL

Anyway, a lot of people have said really good things about this movie so I think it must be worth checking out.

I've heard testimonials from not only my regular friends, but from critics, that it's literally one of the funniest movies they've ever seen. Sounds good, I'll definitely try to catch it. A movie worthy of it having the label "the funniest movie of the summer," that is often branded on every other slapstick comedy released during the summer.

I watched Year One with my friends and I was literally cracking up from start to end. One of the funniest moves I have ever watched. Not sure how it stacks up to The Hangover, but one of my friends who saw both has liked Year One better.
 

"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"

She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.

You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.

She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.

The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

Wasn't that funny imo
It was hyped so much that I was sitting there thinking; "Is this really it?"

I'll definitely get the DVD and have even more chuckles over it though

The Alpha, Beta and Omega :p

I saw this movie last night, and it was amazing! I really loved how they didn't screw up the alpha male towards the end, and kept the characters in thier role. Afher I saw this movie I knew. We should hit it off in Vegas sometime!

The Hangover was hilarious. It didn't have the funniest lines, but what it did have was pretty funny lines throughout the whole movie, so literally a minute didn't go by where someone wasn't laughing. Zach Galifianakis had me cracking up!

I really liked this movie. Everybody knows what a typical bachelor party is like in Las Vegas. Wild women, drinking, gambling, drugs, strippers etc etc. It's genius that this movie is almost completely based on the before and heavily on the after of such an event and is hilarious because of that. I can't tell you how many times I've met my clients at the pool after setting them up for a crazy night and similar things have happened to them. It's priceless and never ceases to amuse me. It's like seeing guys who just left a demoltion derby!

On a side note, I'm not sure if they even meant to do this, but this is one of the few movies that had the scenes done sequentially in las vegas. When they left ceasars, they were driving in front of O'sheas, Casino Royale, and Harrahs then ended up at the chapel that is in that driving direction just past the stratosphere along LVB. Most movies would cut and chop and put them at a more scenic/convinent place but they literally shot everything as it would happen were it in real time. I found that to be completely awesome.

I definitely plan on checking out this movie, especially since I'm familiar with the film credits of the director, but, just for fun, I want to toss you one question: since we're both on the same page about how the greatest comedies are pulled from the deepest insights of TRUTH, how much truth is there in the film?

Hmmm....

The plotline was WAY over the top. Totally unrealistic.

I think you are asking more about the way the people were protrayed thought??

Pretty good portrayal of the pu$$y whipped beta and the c0cksure alpha.

Hell, I liked the movie so much I'd go see it again. Hit me up if you decide to go. Unless you have "company", of course.

Very good movie. I dont know about the greatest of the summer, though. Consistantly funny, and twists at every turn. Not very 'truth' like though, its pretty outrageous. In reality, they would have been killed or in jail before midnight. Its like a funny 'Dude Wheres my Car' meets 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas,' with sprinkles of 'Fandango.'

Unrealistic plot line but very realistic portrayal of the types of characters and how they'd react in certain situations.
 

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"

You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.

And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.

Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.

The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.

Thats the wrong Fandango.

Heres the trailer:http://www.fancast.com/movies/Fandango/34768/687457276/Fandango/videos

Fandango is a REALLY great movie. Its really funny, but is also really deep at the same time. I recommend everyone watch it.

Heres a review:http://efilmcritic.com/review.php?movie=6872

And a ten minute scene, some consider one of the funniest in movie history:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa3r60VQhvk&feature=related

I liked this film and laughed my arse off quite a bit.

fuzzx, if you want something deeper than what you saw in The Hangover, you're free to go watch some ponsey artsy fartsy movies while me and the lads will laugh at what we find funny. Personally I think them going on a massive bender and completely ****ing everything up was pretty fvcking funny, but again, if you want something that isn't "crude" and doesn't have swearing in it, get some other movie whilst eating humous and sipping fine wine. I'll watch the hangover again with a fvcking beer

The movie did a great job at keeping my interest throughout, I was always interested in what was going to happen next.

But, I didn't really find much of it very funny. I blame this on my style of humor, I like more the dry type more subtle humor.

Although I thought the gay asian dude was f*cking hysterical. He definitely was the best part of the movie.

x2. Hangover is one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. I literally don't know anybody who doesn't agree with me.

It's not illegal, just frowned upon. Like masturbating on an airplane.
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.
