The Hangover

From "Old School" director Todd Phillips comes a comedy about a bachelor party gone very, very wrong. Two days before his wedding, Doug (Justin Bartha) drives to Las Vegas with his best buddies Phil and Stu (Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms) and his future brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis), for a blow-out bachelor party they vow they'll never forget. But when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning with pounding headaches, they can't remember a thing. Their luxury 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, in the hope of finding Doug and getting him back to L.A. in time for his wedding. But the more they begin to uncover, the more they realize just how much trouble they're really in.

    Who needs the Frat Pack?

    This Comedy is straight out of the top drawer. Directed by Todd Phillips (the same guy as Road trip, old School, and Starsky and Hutch), It's a comedy which relies on script rather than the pull of the actors involved, and believe me it definitely delivers (Imagine Dude wheres my car, but more grown up, funnier and not just for stoners).

    For months comedy's have been churned out which have promised so much with regards to the actors involved and the trailers advertised,but after watching them you cant help but feel they were a little over hyped. Whether thats due to the story, The length of the movie, The amount of laughs, or even the idea that it just should have been better (pineapple express, role models, and mall cop, to name a few).

    This one, however, has the lot: Love, Loss, and desperation, and without losing its direction (or laughs) towards the end. It's the right Length, the characters are perfect, the jokes are origional and best of all, laugh out loud funny. Admittedly there are some jokes in there which play with the boundaries of decency, and really make you question how sick you must be to laugh (the babys 'hand guestures' and the naked old guy), But thats just the kind of thing that you will talk, and laugh about when your picking the movie apart long after you've left the cinema.

    For those of you who rate Old School as an all time comedy classic then you will LOVE this movie. You'll also appriciate the cameo's along the way, Namely the wedding band at the end of the movie (another classic cover to rival 'Turn Around'). But for those of you who have not seen Old School, and like a good comedy, then you are wasting valuable minutes in your life, and you should put it on your 'High Priority' list now. And for those of you who dont like Old School then......well...... i cant help you.......and you should probably give this movie a miss.

    All in all, More of the same style of comedy from Todd Phillips, But still Origional and definitely one of his best so far.

    Go and see this Movie.

    I cant remember the last time i laughed so much at one film. Absolutely brilliant.

    Zach Galifianakis is superb, big things should be on the way for him. I would recommend everyone to see this

    Director wants Woods for The Hangover sequel

    • 20 Dec 2009

    The Hangover director Todd Phillips wants disgraced golf star Tiger Woods for the comedy's planned sequel. Phillips cast Mike Tyson in the first film and he wants another controversial sporting legend in the follow-up. He tells HollyScoop.com, "We are going to try and get Tiger Woods for the second one... and help him regain his image. "Mike (Tyson) loved doing The Hangover because he loved f**king with the image people had of him. He knew we were not making fun of him but of the image people... Read more
