The Hangover

Wow. When i first saw this trailer, I thought “This is gonna be one of the stupidest movies I’m ever gonna see”. Boy was wrong.

It starts out with 4 friends, Phil , Stu , and Alan , going to Vegas for the weekend to celebrate their friend’s, Doug (Justin Bartha), bachelor party. After a quick drink on the roof top of Ceaser’s Palace, the movie zooms forward to the next morning to the Villa they are staying at. The room is a complete mess, a tiger is in the bathroom, a baby is in the closet, Stu is missing a tooth, the three cannot remember a single event from the previous night, and the trio’s bff Doug is nowhere to be found. As the movie progresses, the trio learn what the hell happened to them, why they have a baby, why Mike Tyson (yes, he IS in this movie, yet he strangley gives a decent performance) is trying to kill them, and where Doug is.

Director Todd Phillips, known for directing movies such as “Old School” and “Road Trip”, really pushed his stars into their element by making them give their best performances to date and allowed laughter and comedy to just flow through the film, instead of long dragged out jokes. This movie is a must see.

4 stars out of 4
