The Hangover



imdb Photos

Plot: The movie starts with three friends in Los  Vegas who are late for their friend's wedding, and they can't find the groom who went missing at the bachelor party. The movie is the friends chasing around trying to find the groom, and get him to the wedding. On the way, they visit a marriage chapel, a hospital, the police station and Mike Tyson's house. You wonder the whole time, "How could they have gotten is so much trouble in one night?"

Review: This movie is a guy-flick, and it is very funny -- albeit crude, profane, gross, and not politically correct. It is funny though. 

The characters are also surprisingly well developed, and some of the gags - like the Taser scene or the tiger in the bathroom are creative. Zach Galifianakis is a good actor playing some ridiculous scenes. I loved the chinese guy in the trunk. 

The funniest movie of 2009 so far.

Cast and crew: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha; directed by Todd Phillips.

So why isn't this 3.0 flasks? Well, it is one big mindless joke, but it is very entertaining. It also a somewhat offensive, so it loses 1/2 for that.


Even More: How did they do Ed Helms' missing tooth? Answer: He was born without a tooth there. He had an implant put in when he was young, and had a dentist remove it for the film.
