Just to see and understand why Todd Phillips was the man for "The Jojer". Can't findthe answer in this predictable deliberate calculated macho Las Vegas comedy.

‘The Hangover’ is pretty hilarious most of the time. It’s quite possibly the best comedy film since ‘Borat’ and features some funny comedic performances from Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Heather Graham, Mike Epps, Justin Bartha and Jeffrey Tambor.

The film tells the story of Phil Wenneck (Bradley Cooper), Dr. Stu Price (Ed Helms) and Alan Garner (Zach Galifianakis) who travel to Las Vegas for a bachelor party to celebrate Doug Billing (Justin Bartha)’s planned marriage. But the three have no memory of the previous night and need to find Doug before the wedding.

Throughout the film, they encounter various scary or unusual things such as a tiger in their bathroom and they end up buying a police car. The film never runs out of humour and is hilarious most of the time.

As everyone u know the good movie always from his trailer so yeah The movie is realy funny it was realy nice to watch it great acting and preformance and much helarious scenes 4 on 5 stars rating realy worth watching cuz i believe it was from the the best movies of 2009 that i watch .

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. Most of the dialogue is funny almost line by line. At some point we actually find ourselves caring a little about what happened to the missing bridegroom -- and the fact that we almost care is funny, too.

The movie opens with bad news for a bride on her wedding day. Her fiance's best buddy is standing in the Mojave Desert with a bloody lip and three other guys, none of whom is her fiance. They've lost him. He advises her there's no way the wedding is taking place.

We flash back two days to their road trip to Vegas for a bachelor party. Doug, her future husband (Justin Bartha), will be joined by his two friends, the schoolteacher Phil (Bradley Cooper) and the dentist Stu (Ed Helms). Joining them will be her brother Alan (Zach Galifianakis), an overweight slob with a Haystacks Calhoun beard and an injunction against coming within 200 feet of a school building.

The next morning, Doug will be missing. The other three are missing for several hours; none of them can remember a thing since they were on the roof of Caesars Palace, drinking shots of Jagermeister. They would desperately like to know: How in the hell do you wake up in a $4,200-a-night suite with a tiger, a chicken, a crying baby, a missing tooth and a belly button pierced for a diamond dangle? And when you give your parking check to the doorman, why does he bring around a police car? And where is Doug?

Their search provides a structure for the rest of the movie, during a very long day that includes a fact-finding visit to a wedding chapel, a violent encounter with a small but very mean Chinese mobster, a sweet hooker, an interview with an emergency room doctor and an encounter with Mike Tyson, whose tiger they appear they have stolen, although under the circumstances, he is fairly nice about it. There is never an explanation for the chicken.

Despite these events, "The Hangover" isn't simply a laff riot. I won't go so far as to describe it as a character study, but all three men have profound personality problems, and the Vegas trip works on them like applied emergency therapy. The dentist is rigidly ruled by his bitchy girlfriend. The schoolteacher thinks nothing of stealing the money for a class trip. And Alan ...

Well, Zach Galifianakis' performance is the kind of breakout performance that made John Belushi a star after "Animal House." He is short, stocky, wants to be liked, has a yearning energy, was born clueless. It is a tribute to Galifianakis' acting that we actually believe he is sincere when he asks the clerk at the check-in counter: "Is this the real Caesars Palace? Does Caesar live here?"

"The Hangover" is directed by Todd Phillips, whose "Old School" (2003) and "Road Trip" (2000) had their moments but didn't prepare me for this. The screenplay is by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, whose "Ghosts of Girlfriends Past" certainly didn't. This movie is written, not assembled out of off-the-shelf parts from the Apatow Surplus Store. There is a level of detail and observation in the dialogue that's sort of remarkable: These characters aren't generically funny, but specifically funny. The actors make them halfway convincing.

Phillips has them encountering a mixed bag of weird characters, which is standard, but the characters aren't. Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong), the vertically challenged naked man they find locked in the trunk of the police car, is strong, skilled in martial arts and really mean about Alan's obesity. He finds almost anything a fat man does to be hilarious. When he finds his clothes and his henchmen, he is not to be trifled with. Jade (Heather Graham), a stripper, is forthright: "Well, actually, I'm an escort, but stripping is a good way to meet clients." She isn't the good-hearted cliche, but more of a sincere young woman who would like to meet the right guy.

The search for Doug has the friends piecing together clues from the ER doctor, Mike Tyson's security tapes and a mattress that is impaled on the uplifted arm of one of the Caesars Palace statues. The plot hurtles through them.

If the movie ends somewhat conventionally, well, it almost has to; narrative housecleaning requires it. It begins conventionally, too, with uplifting music and a typeface for the titles that may remind you of "My Best Friend's Wedding." But it is not to be. Here is a movie that deserves every letter of its R rating. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, especially after you throw up.

8.5
Sounds like incredible but it's really interesting. Talking about a absurd story but definitely without any low scenarios. What's more,it may also makes people think about the meaning of their lives?

I found this movie really funny. Maybe it's not the masterpiece everyone says it is, but it's original and a little insane, some scenes really made me gape, and the direction has a great dynamic pace. It's worth watching.

I just watched "The Hangover" for about the sixth time last night, and while I knew everything that was going to happen, every line that was coming (and quoted along with the movie at times), I still find myself laughing just as hard at this movie as I did the day I saw it in theatre. Overall, a top notch comedy, very well done, awesome cast. I love Zach Galifianakis. I think, without him, the movie wouldn't have been as awesome as it is, because Zach does a fantastic job with his role as an awkward weirdo who just doesn't care what people think about him.

Such a great film, definitely one to watch over and over again, and one of my favourite comedies, for sure. I love the inclusion of Jeffrey Tambor and Ken Jeong. Heather Graham, I could have done without, but she's really the only thing I don't completely enjoy about this movie. The writing was excellent, the delivery of the lines fantastic, and I will never get tired of seeing this one, time and time again.

After having received critical acclaim from critics worldwide and being a comedy receiving that reception is quite rare, The Hangover became a must-see at the time back in 2009. After seeing it the first time, it was decent but didn't find it laugh-out-loud hilarious like a lot of people have said it is and it was put aside for a few years. However, second thoughts about not watching it came back (mostly persuasion due to the sequel coming out) and it needed a second viewing, and gladly I enjoyed it a lot more this time and did appreciate it more, but still didn't quite find it hilarious. I mean, it was funny and it did pull off a few good laughs, but this is the funniest film of the 00s? Don't think so.


Some of the jokes are quite cliched and sometimes aren't even funny, but to be honest it is a film that tries too hard with the jokes and that is clearly seen as desperate to gain the audience's approval, so it just didn't work all around in my mind. However, despite some of the weaknesses in The Hangover, there are some key segments that made it absolute genius. The film has the theme like a teenager's film involving teenagers, but because it involves adults, it shows all four of the guy's utter stupidity and that whatever they seem to do, there is always trouble and chaos there awaiting them. Director Todd Phillips has had plenty enough of experience at making comedies (especially road-comedies) aimed towards teenagers and adults, and this is perhaps his best known feature film and the only one to receieve the 'critical acclaim' status (even though I personally can't understand why).


Just two days before his marriage with Tracy Garner, Doug Billings, in the company of two friends: Phil Wenneck and Stu Price; and Tracy's eccentric brother, Alan, head out to party in Vegas. Driving his father's Mercedez, they rent a pricey villa at Caesar's and head for the rooftop to have a good time. Three of them later wake up with a hangover, unable to re-collect what exactly happened. With the villa in a wreck, they find that they have a baby in the closet; a grown tiger in the bathroom; Stu has a missing tooth and a hooker for a bride; and Doug is missing. Hilarious chaos results as the trio head out to re-trace their steps as well as try to locate Doug and bring him home in one piece before the wedding.


The characters of Alan, Stu, Doug and Phil have the body features of men, but still have the brain cells of teenagers. In fact, they are like the adult versions of Jim, Kevin, Finch and Oz in the American Pie franchise and of Will, Simon, Jay and Neil in British teen sitcom The Inbetweeners. All four characters in The Hangover are totally different with looks and personalities but they all have one thing in common: they are all disaster and accident prone! For what the actors have expressed to the audience now, it has inadvertently perhaps increased the enthusiasm for teenagers to go out and get drunk, rather than to make them stop drinking because disaster and accidents come around.


Bradley Cooper leads the wolfpack as Phil Wemmeck. Phil is the one of the four with perhaps the easiest life seeing as he is a married man with children, but still occasionally complains about that. He is a decent character, but he is definitely not the best one out of the four. Justin Bartha's role as Doug Billings was brilliant, of what we see of him in the film anyway. He is best friends with Phil and Stu and Alan's brother in law. Let's face it, just by looking at Doug and Phil, question arise and you think: why are they friends with muppets like Alan and Stu? Ed Helms' performance as Stuart Price was just amazing! Stu is definitely my personal favourite of the four because he has a strong profession (dentist) and yet, he makes the craziest mistakes and does the most ridiculous things you could ever do! As for Zack Galifianakis's performance as Alan Garner: the Alan character just doesn't suit the other three guys in the group and doesn't exactly help them in their situations, but he is a very funny character. Despite it is a group of four grown men who seek to go out and have a laugh and do end up falling into trouble, it is still a good story about friendship and that they do stick together whatever happens.


Overall, The Hangover is quite an overrated comedy that does have its weaknesses, but is humorous and decent enough to enjoy. It is one of those films where you need to have the sense of humour to love it and one where you might need to give a second try to at least appreciate it. Let's hope that the second one will be better than this one.

I wasn't able to watch this movie for various reasons until a few days ago. After hearing people talk about how it was 'insanely hilarious' and stuff you can imagine i had great expectations from this movie. But I was quite disappointed. Some of the parts are extremely funny but the laughs aren't consistent. Although Zack Galifianakis was insane! xD
