Two days before his wedding, Doug and his three friends drive to Las Vegas for a blow-out bachelor party they'll never forget. But, in fact, when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning, they can...( read more  read more... )'t remember a thing. For some reason, they find a tiger in the bathroom and a six-month-old baby in the closet of their suite at Caesars Palace. The one thing they can't find is Doug. With no clue as to what transpired and little time to spare, the trio must retrace their hazy steps and all their bad decisions in order to figure out where things went wrong and hopefully get Doug back to L.A. in time to walk down the aisle.

    I watched The Hangover last night, for the second time and it dawned on me that I never reviewed this movie. How did I miss that? The Hangover is possibly one the the funniest movies I have seen in a LONG time. Not surprising, since Todd Phillips also directed Old School and Road...( read more)trip, two comedy classics.
    This movie was even funnier the second time, if that is possible. I almost peed in my pants, I was laughing so hard.
    Zach Galifianakis cracks me up as Alan. No one can rock the white slacks, quite like he can. I also really love Ed Helms in this. I am a huge fan of The Office, so I am no stanger to his comedic styling. Bradley Cooper seems to get hotter every time I see him. Meow.
    I think we have all had those times, where we have woken up with a HUGE pounding headache, and not remembering the events which led up to us lying naked in our neighbor's swimming pool. So I for one, can appreciate this film.
    If you haven't seen this, you need to.

    An instant fuckin classic!

    A very funny adult comedy set the day after a wild stag party in Vegas! It has a great chemistry between the cast and is very funny and has a good story too! Well worth checking out!

    I loved the Asian guy~ "Quid pro quo, douchebag!"

    The Hangover is essentially just Dude, Where's My Car meets Bachelor Party. So nothing terribly original, but definitely hilarious. While many are praising Zach Galifianakis (who was funny, but sometimes trying too hard), I found Ed Helms to be the funniest of the...( read more) bunch.



    Only two things really detracted from my enjoyment of this movie. 1) In an otherwise well-done comedy, a couple times the jokes were just huge duds (c'mon, that wedding singer? LAME.) and 2) The trailer: This is one of those movies where practically every funny moment in the film, you've already seen in the trailer. So upon seeing the movie, the jokes aren't as fresh or funny. But that isn't a criticism of the movie itself. Just another example of annoying movie marketing.



    The Hangover is likely the best comedy we'll see this year.

Armond White, The New York Press

Rising-star Bradley Cooper and gang represent the dirtbag element that has become acceptable in contemporary comedy. full review

Nigel Andrews, The Financial Times

Laugh? Well, at least, on a tough Tuesday in Tube-meltdown London, one chuckled. full review

June 8, 2009
Kurt Loder, MTV

While its boisterous fun has strong libidinous overtones, it never takes the plunge into full, frothing raunch. full review

June 7, 2009
Pete Hammond, Hollywood.com

Amusing but a bit overrated. Yes, it's a great comic premise but only partially fulfilled in a raucous summer comedy aimed squarely at the frat boy in all of us. full review

June 5, 2009
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com

The Hangover is a cut above the typical contemporary guy-friendship comedy. full review

June 5, 2009
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone

The Hangover ain't art, but Phillips has shaped the hardcore hilarity into the summer party movie of all our twisted dreams. full review

June 5, 2009
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

Outrageousness proves hard to sustain, and after a stomach-lurchingly quick start, The Hangover slows down and, by the third act, fizzes out like Alka-Seltzer in a highball glass. full review

A.O. Scott, The New York Times

What hangover? This movie is safe as milk. full review

June 4, 2009
Claudia Puig, USA Today

Though the film falters toward the end, The Hangover is a side-splitting adventure you'll still be laughing about the morning after. full review

June 4, 2009
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Now this is what I'm talkin' about. The Hangover is a funny movie, flat out, all the way through. Its setup is funny. Every situation is funny full review

    I did enjoy part of it but overall it is more commercial with quit exageration in some scene...I will not recommand this movie to be watch with kids around in order not to be influenced, i think that the message from this movie is clear " Avoid heavy drugs"...

    The Hangover is kind of ridiculous, but it plays it straight for maximum effect. It's an exaggeration of everybody's messiest night out. The detective work required to discover the source of a simple

    It's been a long while since I laughed out loud at a movie, and this picture just had my ribs cracking from the beginning to the very end. It's the kind of movie that says: THIS COULD HAPPEN TO YOU AND YOUR BUDDIES.

    THIS MOVIE WAS FUNNY AND WAS REALLY SOMETHING TO MAKE YOU THINK ABOUT WHEN ON A ROAD TRIP WITH YOUR DRUNK BUDDIES.

    Finally a comedy that is free of Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, and other Judd Apatow "actors"! I thought I would never see the day!
