The Hangover review

I am just back  from seeing the latest movie from Todd Phipps, the person behind Old School. The hangover tells the story of four men who wake up after a stag party in Las Vegas only to find that the room that they rented is in bits and the groom is missing.

The men set about retracing their steps so that they can find their friend and get back to LA for the wedding. What ensues in a comic roller coaster, that will make you laugh  until your sides hurt.

Top to bottom this is an excellent comedy movie. It is extremely funny and not one of the set pieces miss the mark. Just when you think that the movie is running out steam, you are blindsided by something extremely funny. I am not going to tell about any of the set pieces, because the comedy comes from the surprise factor.

There are a few things that I didn’t like, which is to be to expected as no movie is perfect. But any of the things that I found flat with are really just me nitpicking and did not do anything to stifle my enjoyment of The Hangover

Anyway that concludes my short little review of the excellent comedy The Hangover, the only other movie that I can think of that has the potential to topple The Hangover as Comedy of the year is the upcoming Bruno Movie.
