War Dogs (2016)
Trailer
Why watch this film?
A comedy doesn't necessarily need to be a way to forget your daily problems. 'War Dogs' manages to turn the Iraq War and tumultuous Iraqi relations with the US government into genuine and interesting fun. Jonah Hill doesn't resort to exaggeration and still entertains, even with the difficult underlying theme.

The Hangover
Before he became known as the award-winning director of 'Joker', filmmaker Todd Phillips helmed the 'Se Beber, Não Case' franchise -- which, in its original title, is 'The Hangover', or "the hangover". And it's no wonder. Following a group of friends (Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms), the feature film shows what a night of drinking in Las Vegas can cause. It's hard not to have a good laugh at the situation the trio gets into, as well as some absurd situations treated with strange normality by those involved. Special mention to the unexpected appearance of Mike Tyson and, most importantly, Ken Jeong, in one of the strangest, most controversial and funniest roles of his career.
Joker
"Man is good, but society corrupts him," said Rousseau. "Man is the wolf of man," quoted Hobbes. And the sum of these two theories goes by the name of 'Joker'. Forget here the typical superhero movie. There is no wild action, nor heroes in the feature film directed by Todd Phillips ('The Hangover'). What exists is a dirty, misogynistic and prejudiced Gotham City, in which the least favored citizens fight to live and rebel against the richest - in some way, based on the real New York of the late 1970s and early 1980s. It is not surprising that 'Taxi Driver' (along with 'The King of Comedy') is one of the greatest references of the movie: it is also a creation of the system and cinema of that era. In this context, we have an almost pure character study, in an impeccable performance by Joaquin Phoenix ('Her'). However, it is not about glamorizing the villain or making the audience sympathize with the murderer. There are criticisms of people (including the misfits), society and its lack of concern for the welfare of all. For all this, the story is hard, shocking, shocking, forming an almost perfect combination of art cinema with a blockbuster based on comics - no wonder, it won the prestigious Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Other awards followed, including an Oscar for Phoenix, but along with it is important to have reflection: what can we do to make all this sound less like reality and more like inhospitable fiction? After all, if man is the wolf of man, the wolf of the wolf is called Joker.
The Hangover Part III
To be honest, 'The Hangover Part III' is the kind of movie that was born from a funny idea that should have stayed in one edition. The sequel stretched the idea to its limits to enter darker and more obscene territories, but the third definitely broke it. 'The Hangover Part III' unfolds more like a thriller with a very heavy humor - and not always particularly funny - that reunites the original quartet in a new adventure that takes them back to Las Vegas, to save the life of one of them, who has been kidnapped by a mobster. The already crazy situations in the original movie are taken to the extreme here. Those looking for a simpler comedy would do well to stay away from this movie (or start with the first). However, fans of the saga led by Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis will love this conclusion.
Due Date
Before becoming world-renowned for 'Joker', filmmaker Todd Phillips directed a series of comedies. Among others, 'The Hangover', 'Old School' and, one of the most entertaining, 'Due Date'. Starring Robert Downey Jr. ('Avengers: Endgame') and Zach Galifianakis (also from 'The Hangover'), the feature film follows the journey of a first-time father (Downey Jr.) who is forced to hitch a ride with an aspiring actor (Galifianakis). From there, mixing elements of bestial comedy with road movie, 'Due Date' shows the relationship between these two evolving and taking unexpected turns. It's hard not to laugh at the scene of the rollover, or at one of the phrases that has become popular: "Dad, you were like a dad to me". A silly movie, but with genuine humor. To laugh, entertain and pass the time.
