The Hangover
The Hangover is a take no prisoners comedy (well, some were taken prisoner come to think of it). With plans for a bachelor party to end all bachelor parties Doug Billings (Justin Bartha) a groom to be heads to Vegas for one last naughty weekend prior to a lifetime of marital bliss with two of his best buddies - the henpecked dentist Stu Price (Ed Helms) and playboy Phil Wenneck (Bradley Cooper) – but saddled with Alan Garner (Zach Galifianakis), Doug’s creepy impending brother in law. After one night in sin city three quarters of the gang come to in their trashed luxury suite sporting various abrasions and contusions with a Bengal tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet, a police cruiser waiting in valet parking but no Doug and no memory of the past 18 hours. With the help of comic veterans like Jeffrey Tambor and Heather Graham the trio tries to fill in the blanks that landed them in this confusing morning after the night before that evidently involved the real Mike Tyson, an effeminate Asian gangster and a new bride for one of our heroes. Oscar Wilde it’s not but the laughs that hang over will be remembered for a while.
