The Hangover Movie Review

From the director of “Old School” comes a new comedy about a bachelor party gone horribly wrong. Fortunately unlike Old School this film offers better writing, better characters and a bucket full of laughs.

Two days before his wedding, Doug (Justin Bartha) and his three buddies (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis) drive to Las Vegas for a blow-out night they’ll never forget. But when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning with pounding headaches, they can't remember a thing. Their posh hotel suite is beyond trashed and the groom is nowhere to be found. With no clue about what happened and little time to spare, the trio must attempt to retrace their bad decisions from the night before in order to figure out where things went wrong and hopefully get Doug back to L.A. in time for his wedding. However, the more they begin to uncover, the more they realize just how much trouble they’re really in.

I went  to see this film with my father and its the first time we have seen a movie together in MANY years. We both had an absolute blast and there was rarely a minute that we were not laughing our asses off. Throughout the film I kept thinking about the movie Very Bad Things, but not in a bad way. Very Bad Things is the same premise but The Hangover does that that movie did only better.

With a combination of great direction, great writing and very fun characters you end up with a comedy that will leave you rolling in the aisles laughing your ass off. This is easily the most intelligent and fun comedy I have seen in years and is WELL worth you checking out. If you like toiler humor done with style, and characters ripped from Very Bad Things and The Big Lebowski you will love The Hanover. Fantastic Film!
