Full Review of The Hangover

WOW. This movie is so good, I just saw it for the fourth time. It never gets old. It was directed by the same director as Old School (another funny movie) but the Hangover is much funnier and much more clever.

The movie is about three morons (Stu, Alan and Phil) who lose their best friend during a wild bachleor party in Las Vegas. The problem is that their friend Doug is getting married in 2 days-- so they have to find him and bring him back to L.A.

So Stu, Alan and Phil wake up after one wild night (we don't really get to see what happened) and their hotel room (in the Ceasers Palace) is literally trashed. There are stippers walking out, chickens all over the place and the room is completely trashed. When all three wake up they can't remember anything and like I said their friend is gone.

The reason why this movie works is because this movie is about adults who really shouldn't do what they did. There are a lot of these teen movies of teens partying, getting into problems and having girlfriend problems, etc, etc. But in this movie the guys are all about 40 years old-- they should know better. Thats what makes it so funny-- these adults get into major trouble and nobody is going to help them-- they are on their own. Funny.

I like Bradley Cooper here--- He usually plays a**holes (like in Wedding Crashers, etc) but here he is more likable, here he cares about his friends. The best part with him is when he tells his students (he plays a school teacher in this film) to bring 90 bucks for a fake feild trip and all the students do so-- but in reality he is taking their 90 bucks for the Vegas Trip. I thought that was very funny.

Ed Helms (Stu) is also great-- hes the one with brains-- kind of. His controlling and abusive girl friend is also funny-- the way he lets her take him-- man. And of course there is Zach Galifianakis playing a man child (Alan). But this character is my favriote-- he is just so bizarre. He is a retard here and almost everything he says will make you laugh.

Here I will list why the movie works so well:

* Its just 90 minutes-- not too bad.

* It always has something going down-- Either with Phil, Stu or Alan.

* Zach Galifianakis (Alan) steals the show. His character is hysterical. Almost every scene he is in is funny. I especially liked when he screamed "Hey there are Skittles in there!" and when he kicks a cell phone from the hands of a little boy.

* The pictures show what happened during the night of their bachelor party at the end---- and WOW.

If you haven't seen this movie, go see it. It is funniest movie I have seen this year.

FIVE OUT OF FIVE STARS.
