The Hangover was a blockbuster from 2009 made for $35million, but earned over $465million.
Why should it move on?: This movie is insanely popular. Warner Bros. thought that at best, it's opening weekend would draw 3rd place. But word of mouth drove people in herds into theaters to watch it. It was also the top rental, dvd, and blu-ray sales for it's opening week. Currently, it owns the record for most disc sales OF ALL TIME.
Why not?: It's not the first "gone wrong in Vegas" movie (and sure not to be the last either). Some say you can for-see the jokes before they happen. Some of the cameo's feel cheap, but still deliver.
DYK: Lindsay Lohan was offered the part of the stripper, Jade, but turned it down. She didn't like the script and thought the movie would bomb.

Now we have another classic from Team Z.A.Z. staring the late-great Leslie Nielsen.
Why Should it move on?: Like most Z.A.Z. movies, you have slapstick antics, memorable one liners, and some of the goofiest humor you can find. Having Leslie Nielsen deliver most of the laughs with his dead pan acting is what sold most of it.
Why Not?: It's hard to find a real reason not to like this movie. Never is the movie serious. The humor is not too highbrow, or too lowbrow. And who doesn't enjoy watching OJ Simpson get his ass kicked either back then or now?
DYK: A 4th movie was reported to be in the early stages of production and qualified for production tax credits at the time of Nielsen's death.

I personally don't find movies like the Hangover all that funny. Granted I laughed some. They just stress me out. Naked Gun on the other hand, tons of one liners, dry humor and slapstick all in perfectly measured amounts. Naked Gun, hands down.
