Critic Reviews

  • Tom Huddlestone, Time Out

    An intriguing, time-hopping set-up is wasted on obnoxious characters, celebrity cameos and crass attempts at humour.

  • Sara Vilkomerson, New York Observer

    You might be embarrassed by laughing at some of the silliness, but don't be: Everyone else will be cracking up, too.

  • Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune

    The movie smells like a hit, but honestly: Helms excepted, did it need to be quite so blandly cast, or quite so lamely raunchy?

  • Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times

    There is a sort of perverse brilliance or brilliant perverseness to be found in this story of a bachelor party gone terribly wrong.

  • Rob Nelson, Minneapolis Star Tribune

    The Hangover, like the condition for which it's named, has some spirited moments, but more often it stumbles and slurs, regurgitating earlier pleasures and praying for the fog to lift.

    Never able to scrounge a dull moment, the Hangover is easily my favourite comedy of this decade. These three guys are what truly make this film work. Their chemistry, the story, the outcomes, the surprises, the laughs, and anything else that you would expect from a brilliant comedy… More

  • Matthew Samuel M


    It's definitely funny at times, but in the end, all of it screams: "mediocre." There's nothing remarkable here. Just a string of hit-or-miss jokes.
