This kind of husband-bachelor bromance has become a minigenre in its own right, with examples including the raucous "I Love You, Man" and the relatively sober "Crazy, Stupid, Love," with "Hangover" comedies bachelorhood is both an idealized state, desperately clung to during a blowout bacchanal, and terrifying, though less a threat to life than to identity, as suggested by the transsexual escapades hinted at in the credits of the last movie.
