Video: "The Hangover" Gets Spoofed At The 2011 MTV Movie Awards





As it does every year, the 2011 MTV Movie Awards opened up with a parody that incorporated a bunch of last year's popular movies, framed around a send-up of The Hangover. Skeptical? We can't blame you; when was the last time anyone legitimately found an MTV awards skit to be funny?
No matter how corny the past parodies have been, MTV finally produced something that's marginally humorous for a change. Jason Sudeikis, the show's host, Twilight star Taylor Lautner, and actual Hangover actor Jason Bartha starred in the bit, which led Sudeikis through spoofs of The Social Network, Black Swan, and 127 Hours. The highlight, though, was Eva Mendes waking up inside a bathtub, for obvious reasons.
There's also some obligatory use of the Mila Kunis/Natalie Portman girl-on-girl scene from Black Swan. Why? Who cares—it's not like we're about to complain. Have a look for yourselves.

Arthouse Alert: "Black Swan" in Philadelphia Monday (4/4)


Don’t front. You know you wanna see Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis tongue each other down again.

Natalie Portman was busy in 2010, and she capped the year off by announcing her pregnancy. She’s spent the first quarter of this year on award tour, taking home both the Golden Globe and Oscar for her demanding performance in Black Swan. Darren Aronofsky’s latest tale of disturbing behavior was released on DVD this week, but the Trocadero Theatre will bring it back to the big screen as part of its Monday Movie series.

Showtime is at 8 p.m., but get there prior to 7 p.m. for a free beer and bag of popcorn. You’ll be in suspense as a frigid Portman tries to out-sass an effortlessly sexy Mila Kunis throughout 108 minutes of both warped and delightful images. It’s unfortunate that even after all the critical acclaim, the film will probably be best remembered for its sex scenes. But it inspired this list, so no compaints here. -Julian Kimble (@JRK316)
