What’s wrong with this paragraph: “Just as the R-rated comedies ‘American Pie,’ ‘Knocked Up’ and ‘The 40-Year-Old Virgin’ transformed excellent word-of-mouth into strong summer ticket sales, ‘The Hangover’ should benefit from the kind of positive moviegoer chatter that largely has been missing from the summer spell -- save ‘Star Trek’ ” [“The Morning-After Reaction: Let’s Do It Again!” by John Horn, May 28]?
How about no mention of a little R-rated comedy from the summer of 2005 called, uh, “Wedding Crashers”?
It not only happens to be the biggest-grossing (and, in my humble opinion, best) of all the movies Horn did mention, it also happens to star Bradley Cooper from . . . “The Hangover.”
Here’s hoping the lack of acknowledgment was a simple oversight. Maybe when writing the piece, Horn was a little, say, hung over?
