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

 So wrong. So funny. March 22, 2010
Carey
If you are easily offended, steer clear. But if you aren't a member of the PC police, watch this one with someone of a like mind. You won't be disappointed.
 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.
 Don't Believe the Hype!! March 18, 2010

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.
