                                      Hangover delivers on its promise. It’s
                                      clever, original, and very, very funny.” –
“Leave the kids at home, round up a   Leonard Maltin, IndieWire
group of guys and head out to the
theater for a good time.”
-Sonny Bunch, The Washington Times    “The real, underlying message of The
                                      Hangover, is that women are shrews,
“This is a bromance so primitive,
                                      whores and/or fools.”
it's practically Bro-Magnon”.
                                      – Adam Lippe, The Examiner
-Richard Corliss, TIME Magazine

- Clay Cane, BET.com                                    -Jordan Hiller, Bangitout.com


                                                  “If this is only a chick flick, then
                                                  call me a chick. Witty, raunchy

EXAMINING THE GAZE AND DIRECTORIAL CHOICES IN
       THE HANGOVER AND BRIDESMAIDS

  What is the gaze?            Anti-Erotic
   Film is a man’s medium,     In Bridesmaids, some
    and as such the camera       scenes were the anti-male
    lens serves as an            fantasy, portraying sex
    extension of the male        (which is idealized by the
    view, delivering content     male) as awkward and
                                 demeaning (clip)
    that is directed toward
    male spectators            Enacting the male fantasy
  Scopophilia                   Women are exhibitionists,
                                 embodying to-be-looked-at-
   pleasure in looking          ness (clip)

  filmed distinctly

  judged by their relationship to
  motherhood
“Frigid bitch” vs “hooker with a heart of gold”
Extreme caricatures of women, one being uptight, nagging and shrill and
the other one submissive, easygoing and sexually liberal
STEREOTYPES AND CLICHÉS
Male Stereotypes
 The rugged cowboy/frontiersman who
  doesn’t reveal his emotions
 Men who cannot subjugate women
  are weak

Castration Anxiety (clip)

Female Stereotypes

  complete
 women can’t hold their liquor and
  catfight all the time
Racial Stereotypes
