If you like your humor broadside up, hold the subtlety, you'll want to nurse this Hangover with your best buds. The ensemble cast meshes perfectly--it's like a super-R-rated episode of Friends: silly, slapstick, and completely in the viewer's face. When four pals go to Vegas to celebrate the imminent nuptials of one of them, they partake in a rooftop toast to "a night we'll never forget." But they're in for a big surprise: their celebration drinks were laced with date-rape drugs, so when they awake in their hotel room 12 hours later, not only are they hung over, but they can't remember what they did all night long. Oh, and they're missing the groom-to-be. The film is so cheerfully raunchy, so fiercely crude, that the humor becomes as intoxicating as the mind-altering substances. The standout in the ensemble is Zach Galifianakis, who is alternately creepy and hilarious. Ed Helm (The Office), in addition to his memory, loses a tooth in uncomfortably realistic fashion, and Bradley Cooper (He's Just Not That into You) has deadpan comic timing that whips along at the speed of light. "Ma'am, you have an incredible rack," he blares to a pedestrian from the squad car the guys have "borrowed." "I should have been a [bleeping] cop," he tells himself approvingly. Director Todd Phillips brings back his deft handling of the actors and the dude humor that worked so well in Old School, as well as the unctuous Dan Finnerty, memorable as a lounge/wedding singer in both films. But it's the nonstop volley of jokes--most cheerily politically incorrect--that grabs the audience and thrashes it around the hotel room. Just watch out for the tiger in the bathroom. --A.T. Hurley

 Not the greatest comedy ever made, but OK for what it is... March 19, 2010
Grigory's Girl (NYC)
This is not the greatest comedy ever made. It's probably one of the most overhyped comedies in recent memory. But it isn't terrible, and it's not the gross out comedy that many have said it is. It's a mediocre film at best that has some funny moments, and has some moments that make you wonder who could write such a bad script.
Many times in the film you see a situation (like when the boys wake up and find a tiger in the bathroom), and the characters in the film constantly say "oh my god, there's a tiger in the bathroom. How the f*** did that tiger get in the bathroom? Man, I can't remember how that tiger got in the bathroom" and so on and so on. This type of situation happens a lot during the film (especially the first half), and it's really poor scripting. The first half drags because of this poor scripting. I almost shut the DVD off, but luckily, the film picks up in the 2nd half. It's almost like the filmmakers realised that they had to finish the film, and decided to wrap things up very, very quickly.
Bradley Cooper's character is a very smarmy guy and not very sympathetic. The dentist is actually a decent sort saddled with a ferociously bitchy girlfriend (played by Rachel Harris), and Zach G plays a guy who is supposed to be nerdy and funny, but quite often he comes across as weird and creepy, not funny. But there are some good moments in the film, especially the scene where the 3 guys are in the police station, and one of the officers (played by Rob Riggle) calls Zach G "fat Jesus". Then the 3 guys get tazed by the cops and an audience of kids touring the police station. It's the funniest scene in the film. The black drug dealer (called Black Doug in the film) is also a good character and the performance is very funny.
While this film is overhyped, it is not the most overrated comedy I've ever seen (that honor still belongs to Knocked Up), and I didn't feel like I was cheated after watching the movie. Aside from Bradley Cooper's character, the overall tone of the film isn't smug. It's just light. So, watch the movie if you like this type of humour. It's a decent rent.

OK this wasn't the worst thing I've ever seen but as I was sitting there watching I kept turning to my friends and asking, 'when does something funny happen'? This movie is completely overrated, I'm baffled by the reviews that proclaim this movie to be 'the funniest thing I have ever seen'. I guess I attribute this to the fact that Hollywood turns out 85% crap every year and people are so desperate to like something they just latch on to the first thing that's a bit less crappy than everything else floating around out there. You want funny watch 40 year old virgin, forgetting Sara Marshall, what happens in Vegas or step brothers, these movies are very funny for real! Sadly watching this movie accounts for just under 2 hours of my life I will never get back, don't make the same mistake I made, pass on this overrated and painfully average attempt at comedy until it hits HBO. I gave my disk to a homeless guy because I needed it out of my house. It's a very reflective disk, I think he squats over it to check his sack for crabs.
kept waiting for the funny, but nothing happened March 16, 2010

i heard so much about The Hangover being a real funny movie, but i've got to say, The Hangover sucked.
i think House Bunny was funnier than The Hangover.
Bradley Cooper, who came out in movies like The Rocker and Yes Man, is terrible as a leading man. His acting was too cheesy and even when he dropped F-bombs, they felt forced out of his mouth.
Hangover was way too corny and honestly not funny.
Todd Philips usually makes good movies, (Road Trip, Old School, Starsky and Hutch) but The Hangover is terrible.
Silly, but a lot of fun! March 15, 2010
Michael A. Newman (New Hyde Park, NY)
Watching this movie I was trying to compare it to other comedies I have seen. I guess it similar in humor type to the first National Lampoon Vacation film with both serious and silly mixed in.
The movie is one of those that begins showing you the near ending of the movie where a guy is calling the fiancee of his friend to tell her that her husband to be will not be showing up to their wedding which is due to start in five hours. Most of the rest of the movie attempts to tell how this happened.
A guy about to be married goes to Vegas with three friends. One is a total "John Belushi type" and the other two are his friends. One friend is in a relationship with an overly controlling woman and he lies to her telling he is going on a wine tasting business trip to Napa Valley.
The four take a very expensive suite in Vegas and go up to the roof to drink a toast to their friendship and the upcoming wedding of their friend. The next thing they know they are waking up in their suite the next day which has been trashed and has both a live tiger in the bathroom and a baby (see the poster) in it and their friend to be married has disappeared.
The rest of the movie has them trying to piece together what happened the previous night and to locate their missing friend. They learn they had done unbelievable things and have both a crimelord and Mike Tyson after them. The movie is very different from most of the comedies that have come out in the last year or so and a lot more fun than most especially the prolifieration of the Jude Apatow movies that seem to constantly come out.
Bizarre tale of Bachelor Party revelers' memory loss proves to be sleeper comedy hit of 2009 March 15, 2010

*** This review contains spoilers ***
Before seeing 'The Hangover', I heard that it was about some guys who hold a bachelor party in Las Vegas. I was expecting a night of ribaldry, chronicling the bachelor party (along the lines of 'Superbad'--except with the characters being a bit older). But the great thing about 'The Hangover' is that all the action happens AFTER the bachelor party occurs, the next day. It's a tremendously clever idea where the comedy is in the unraveling of the mystery as to what happened to the protagonists during a bachelor party which they cannot recall.
In the Act One setup, we're first introduced to the principals: Doug is about to be married and along with his brother-in-law, the off-the-wall Alan, joined by Doug's buddies, Stu, a dentist, and Phil, an elementary school teacher, decide to go to Las Vegas two days before the wedding for a surreptitious bachelor party. We then cut to five hours before the wedding, with Phil making a desperate call to Doug's fiancé informing her that they've lost Doug and it looks like the wedding is off. Then we flashback to the revelers' arrival at Caesar's Palace in Vegas, where they go up to the hotel roof where loose cannon Alan toasts Doug by cutting himself with a knife--he invites everyone to join in a little blood letting as a sort of initiation rite but the others turn him down as they all think Alan is a little bit off the wall.
The break into Act Two occurs with Alan, Stu and Phil waking up in a trashed hotel room sans Doug. To make matters worse, there's a live tiger in the bathroom, a crying baby in the kitchen and Stu the Dentist is missing a tooth. They go downstairs and give the parking valet a stub, only to have him drive up with a police car, with the valet addressing the bumbling threesome as 'officers' and 'wishing them a good day'.
Soon it becomes clear why Alan, Stu and Phil can't remember anything that happened the night before. Alan thought he was slipping a tab of ecstasy into their drinks but it turns out that it was Rohypnol (aka "Roofies"), a date rape drug, which he bought from a confused drug dealer (also named Doug who later figures in the plot). I'm not sure if I recall the exact sequence of what happens next but basically the three end up at a wedding chapel where they discover that the night before Stu got hitched to a Vegas stripper. They locate her and fortunately she's the baby's mother. When the bumbling buddies return to their hotel room, waiting for them there is Mike Tyson himself along with one of his handler's. It seems that the boys stole Tyson's pet tiger and in a rather amusing scene, drug the tiger and drive it back to Big Mike's mansion. More outrageous obstacles soon are placed in the protagonists' way.
It seems that the night before, Alan was playing craps with a Chinese gangster, Mr. Chow. He ends up taking off with Chow's gambling winnings amounting to $80,000. Chow and his thugs confront Alan, Stu and Phil and reveal that they are holding Doug and demand that they come up with his money or else they'll never see their buddy gain. In one of the few long-winded scenes in the film, Alan wins $80,000 by employing card counting techniques while playing blackjack back at the casino. They all drive out to the desert where they give Chow the money but he hands over a black guy named Doug who happens to be the drug dealer who sold Alan the 'roofies'.
We're back at the point where the flashback began toward the beginning of the film. Phil is calling Doug's fiancé informing her that Doug cannot be located and the wedding is off. But suddenly Stu figures it all out. Earlier, the guys had noticed that Doug's mattress was impaled on the obelisk in front of the hotel. He realizes that Doug could not have thrown the mattress from the hotel windows since they don't open--the only conclusion is that they had brought Doug up to the roof the night before and he's been stuck up there since nightfall. All's well that ends well when the prospective groom and his three buddies drive back to Los Angeles just in time for the wedding (in a hilarious scene while they're driving on the highway, they have their tuxedos thrown to them from a tuxedo company van--obviously having ordered the tuxes beforehand from the car, using a cell phone and credit card).
The final scene is one of the best--they discover a digital camera with all the pictures of the groups' hi-jinx the night before. They all agree to look at the pictures once and then erase all of them. As the credits roll, the pictures reveal the machinations of the bumbling threesome during their crazed night out on the town.
Of all the characters, I thought Stu the dentist was the funniest. We finally do find out how he lost that tooth--and the scene where he stands up to his overbearing girlfriend at the film's climax was hilarious. I expected a little more with Alan's character as he was introduced as to be the really crazy one at the beginning--but somehow I wanted him to do even more crazy things at the end. Kudos especially to Ken Jeong as Mr. Chow, the foul-mouthed Chinese gangster, who was truly a hoot!
Some of the jokes in "The Hangover" don't always hit the mark--the bit about the police tasering the hapless trio in front of a bunch of schoolchildren just seemed a little too much. Nonetheless, 'The Hangover' has proved to be the sleeper hit comedy of 2009 with its one welcome bizarre situation after another.
