CAROLINE: I must say I'm rather impressed with the lil' comedy that could. "The Hangover" hits number one for two weeks in a row.

RYAN: It's not a shabby achievement by any stretch of the imagination. I'm just saddened that no one gave "Imagine That" a chance this weekend. I mean - not even in the top 5? Come on!

CAROLINE: Get over it.

RYAN: Perhaps Eddie Murphy is not as good for a movie as studios would hope. Maybe with a different actor, the lovely film might have done better.

CAROLINE: You'll never know. Back to "The Hangover" - I hope this movie's success ups the ante for one Bradley Cooper.

RYAN: His star is indeed rising. And how could it not be?

CAROLINE: He's hot. He's talented. He's a pretty decent actor. We haven't seen him really go out on a limb, acting-wise, but he may soon get that chance.

RYAN: I'd give it to him, if I were directing a movie.

CAROLINE: Me too... and then some.

RYAN: "The Taking of Pelham 123" didn't even come in #2.

CAROLINE: It might do okay though with word of mouth. I really enjoyed it.

RYAN: This coming weekend, it's between comedy with "Year One" and romance with "The Proposal."

CAROLINE: I bet "Year One" will take it.
