Worth the Headache

"The Hangover" is satisfying comedy that has plently of laughs. It mixes its winning and diverse humor with clever storyline for the comedy genre. This keeps everything fresh and never dull. Bradley Cooper, Wes Helms, and Zach Galfanakis have good chemistry and do good jobs but Zach Galfanakis steals most of the laughs in the movie. Wes Helms shows he can be funny on other things like The Office. Bradley Cooper is by far the weakest of the 3 but he still has his tiny moments. One not to forget is the hysterical performance by Ken Jeong as a gay crime boss. Think of the The Hangover as mix "Three Men and a Baby", "Memento", and "Bachelor Party".

Todd Phillips shows he can do funny movies but this may be his best one. On par with his past effort, "Old School". He also shows he's a talen...

Funny, but comedy does not equal greatness.

I got to The Hangover after everyone else had already seen it, told me how brilliant it was, told me their favourite "bit" and told me to get around to going to see it.

The reason for this is that many of the laughs came from the sudden nature of the comedy – whether it be a sudden physical act or the unexpected nature of a line. It is a slightly childish type of comedy with lots of peop...

You May Need To Be Drunk To Get The Hangover

I found this movie to be a tad bit overrated. Everyone raves about how funny this movie is, but I can count on one hand how many times I laughed--and even then I wasn't splitting open any stitches. This isn't a bad movie. Despite the lack of knee slapping humor, the movie is watchable because it is interesting. The mystery of the missing groom and the unfolding of the random events that happened the night before are entertaining enough to keep you planted in your seat for 90 minutes. Is this a comedy classic? Not quite. Is it amusing enough to pass the time when you're sitting in bed with a broken leg? Absolutely.
