Some of the scenes for The Hangover were filmed right across the street from the casino where I worked as a shift manager. I got to meet some of the cast members when they would come in between scenes to play blackjack. The one I enjoyed visiting with the most was Zach Galifianakis who played Alan (the bearded guy) in the movie. Zach was also in Corky Romano, Secret Agent … another favorite movie of mine. The Hangover is a funny flick well-worth your time.

When legendary gambler Golden Hands Segal suffers a fatal heart attack at the craps table in Las Vegas, his grandson Freddy Meingold and boyhood pal Spencer Ragusa have less than 24 hours to retrieve the body for burial in New Jersey.

This movie has special significance for me. When they were filming “Hard Four” in the Plaza Hotel & Casino dice pit (where I was a floor supervisor), I was asked to give Ed Asner and the other cast members a crash course in Craps to prepare them for their scenes. Between filming scenes, Asner spent about 20-minutes visiting with me. Since I was a big Mary Tyler Moore Show fan, it was a real thrill!

Determined to combine work and pleasure, Bob Munro (Robin Williams) rents a motor home to drive his wife (Cheryl Hines), teenage daughter (Joanna “JoJo” Levesque) and pre-teen son (Josh Hutcherson) on a scenic vacation in the Colorado Rockies while secretly preparing his presentation for a high-stakes corporate merger. Their dysfunctional road trip leads to repeated encounters with the all-too-happy Gornicke family (led by Jeff Daniels and Kristin Chenoweth), who only appear to be stupid rednecks, when in fact they represent the familial togetherness that Bob is striving to regain. As directed by comedy veteran Barry Sonnenfeld (whose image as “Irv” the RV rental king is plastered across the side of the Munro’s RV), these warm-and-fuzzy sentiments are strictly by-the-numbers, along with plenty of jokes about raw sewage, scavenging raccoons, and RV’s run amuck. There aren’t any real highlights, and the outcome is utterly predictable, but RV delivers enough comedy to qualify as an enjoyable diversion.
