Review of The Hangover (2009) by Anthony M — 29 Nov 2012

Rated: R.

Doug Billings (Justing Bartha) is about to get married but before he does he and his two closest friends Phil Wenneck (Bradley Cooper) and Stu Price (Ed Helms) along with his future brother in law Alan (Zach Galifianakas) are headed to Las Vegas for the Bachelor Party. The next day with the groom nowhere to be found Phil, Stu and Alan with no recollection of the night before must put the pieces together of what happened, locate the groom and get to the wedding.

The Hangover is another exceptional comedy from Todd Phillips the director of Old School. This is one of the best Comedies to come out in a long time. The Cast is fantastic with the breakout star being Zach Galifianakas. As Alan, Zach is the ?Frank the Tank? of the Hangover you have no idea what he is going to say but it is always funny. Although there are a lot of crazy moments in the film they hit every one of them perfectly. The beauty of The Hangover is that they don?t show what happened the night of the Bachelor Party so you are just as interested in finding out what debauchery to take place as the main cast is. What happened to the groom? Why is there a tiger in there suite? How did they end up with a cop car and a baby? It is a great ride finding out what happened and from these situations laughs continuously flow. This is one of those movies where you want to watch it multiple times and you will be quoting it for years to come. The first great comedy of the year and a must watch.
