The Hangover

The Hangover was crass, raunchy, obscene and outrageous and I loved every second of it. Director, Todd Phillips (Road Trip, Old School), takes us to Las Vegas following 4 guys and a bachelor party gone completely wrong...with the help of a few rufies. Having lost the groom and no memory of the night before, Phil, Stu and Alan must work through the previous night's drunken mayhem to find Doug and get him to the alter before it's too late.

Bradley Cooper, known for his roles in Wedding Crashers and He's Just Not That in to You, gives the performance of his career and set the bar high for movies to come. Ed Helms (Stu), who best known for his comedic role as Andy in the sitcom "The Office" and relative new guy, Zach Galifianakis (Alan), steal every scene they are in.

I laughed for about half of the movie and laughed even harder the other half. With strong performances and character interaction between all the cast coupled with an even stronger script, this is a must see. I give this movie a very solid A.
