Search Party is about two friends that have to try and rescue Nardo as well as Nardo's relationship with Tracy. This movie does have a similar feeling to the Hangover movies but Search Party lacks the writing and overall direction of the trilogy. What I found this movie to have that the Hangover doesn't is great comedic actors. This might just be personal preference but I find Pally, Miller, and Middleditch to be a lot funnier with their timing and physical comedy. The overall cast is about the only reason I gave this movie a try. I even got a Garfunkel and Oates song in there so that was another plus. The bad would be the writing as some of the lines were cringing, especially with Middleditch. The movie didn't seem to flow as nicely as the Hangover or for that matter look as sharp. As I said earlier that the three headlines are really funny but their characters were not the best. Pally is supposed to be a semi successful business dude but it never comes off that way. The whole angle of Pally being the put together one of the group didn't vibe with me and it felt out of place. T.J Miller is the typical T.J Miller character so no real complaint there. Middleditch is a combination of Doug and Alan from the Hangover which is fine but they made him overly stupid. So much so that it seemed to downgrade the movie altogether. The supporting cast had some time to shine and I appreciated all of their scenes overall.I would give this movie a pass unless you are a fan of these actors like I am. Even then I would proceed with caution and low expectations.

Listen, I had a good solid beer buzz watching this, same as all the Hangover movies. The Hangover movies? I was busting up! THIS movie?!, well OK, I had a few laughs, I don't regret watching it while a bit on the drunk side, but it's really is just a piggy back kinda rip-off of the hangover movies... grab some brews... catch a buzz, you'll be somewhat entertained, but it's not brilliance, or comedic gold by any standard... it is what it is, an attempt to capitalize on the hangover movies...just really REALLY late...lolwhat else can I say to make this long enough?! get some brews first, it will be a bit funnier that way!

Whoever that one guy is, you know the guy I'm talking about. The guy who happens to be the reason anyone would even watch this movie. He is in this movie but not funny. The poor guy just doesn't have any material to work with. The dialog is dry and unfunny and after 20 minutes of giving this movie a chance, I had to stop watching. I refused to even give it a chance because this is a freaking comedy that didn't even make me crack a smile. Hey, there is a reason this movie is a straight to video deal, because it sucks. I mean, the beginning wedding scene should have been grand and funny and the shot in the arm and blah and whatever. This movie isn't even worth reviewing or watching or whatever. Save your time and skip it, you'll thank me.

I was looking for a good comedy over the weekend. Happened to come across this, I sort of liked the idea but then I looked at the rating it was given. That kind of put me off. However I still decided to watch it. I must say I was amazed.Its a hilarious comedy, unpredictable in the are you high kind of way. I thoroughly enjoyed it and specifically wrote this review, my first one to let others know, the rating is deceptive, it has been for some reason underrated which this title does not deserve.I have given it an 8. I think it deserves that.If you are looking for a fun over the weekend unpredictable comedy for good laughs, this is it.
