Description
In raucous buddy comedy THE HANGOVER, three groomsmen head to Las Vegas for their friend Doug's bachelor party. However, they party a little too hard and wake up the following morning to find, inexplicably, a tiger in the hotel bathroom, a baby in the closet, and no sign of the groom!
| Credits | | Producer: | Dan Goldberg, Todd Phillips | | Score Composer: | Christopher Beck |
Editorial Reviews
Consistently funny, THE HANGOVER proves you don't need a big-name Hollywood cast to get big laughs. Destined to appeal to the lads everywhere, that the film doesn't only resort to gross-out gags means female audiences should give it a go
Channel 4 Film (10/29/2009)
The cast is personable, the photography is attractive, the script is cleverly constructed
Daily Express (10/29/2009)
Rude, crude and defiantly male, it's the ultimate phallocentric antidote to SEX AND THE CITY, and easily the funniest American comedy of the year
Daily Mail (10/29/2009)
Lewd, crude and exceptionally rude, the gags come thick and fast
Daily Mirror (10/29/2009)
THE HANGOVER serves up a steady stream of big, dumb laughs, but you may feel a gnawing sense of guilt right afterwards
Daily Telegraph (10/29/2009)
A furiously paced, inventive and flat-out hilarious take on a tried-and-tested formula. An exemplary bromantic comedy that doesn't sacrifice heart in pursuit of laughs, maintaining plenty of the former and a superabundance of the latter
Empire (10/29/2009)
Easily the funniest film of the year. A must-see
FHM (10/29/2009)
Debauched, depraved and very, very funny
Heat Magazine (10/29/2009)
Everything works here; the characters are funny, the set-ups are funny, the lines are funny
Little White Lies (10/29/2009)
One of the funniest films we've seen in many a moon
Maxim (10/29/2009)
This is top stuff. There's all the carnage, baps and humiliation you could want from a 15-rated comedy but it's pegged around a smart plot that actually holds up. Take out the laughs, and THE HANGOVER would still work as a gripping, if barmy thriller
News Of The World (10/29/2009)
Proudly inappropriate and buoyed by both a clever script and some obvious chemistry between the film's male leads, director Todd Phillips' comedy will play like gangbusters with men and may even attract some women who know and love knuckleheads
Screen International (10/29/2009)
It's not very sophisticated, but this raucous comedy keeps us laughing with its sheer absurdity. The characters are very well-played and their interaction is genuinely hilarious, even if most of the jokes are pretty cheap
Shadows On The Wall (10/29/2009)
The cracking script - a veritable treasure trove of smart one-liners - and beautifully-worked set pieces make this one of the most enjoyable comedies of the year
Sky Movies (10/29/2009)
A devilishly smart comedy gem that manages to blend the raunchy and the rowdy with some deliciously left-field humour
Sunday Mirror (10/29/2009)
The director and his screenwriters have come up with the funniest film to appear in ages. It avoids the predictable crudity and silly laddishness (well, almost) you'd expect, and delights with zinging one-liners and charming performances
Sunday Times (10/29/2009)
It turns out to be every bit as crass, offensive and incorrect as you'd expect, but it's also - gulp! - really very funny an awful lot of the time, as well as bizarrely gripping
The Guardian (10/29/2009)
Some very funny, very non-PC dialogue is thrown about like a game of catch. The actors, virtually unknown, are terrific
The Independent (10/29/2009)
The director, harnessing the talents of a relatively unknown cast, creates a genuine minor classic of the genre
The Observer (10/29/2009)
It kicks this sub-genre up a gear with an anarchic sense of fun and a consistently high gags-to-giggle ratio that knows when to push the envelop of taste and when to pull back a little
The Scotsman (10/29/2009)
Rude, crude and downright distasteful - this film is brilliant
The Sun (10/29/2009)
Succeeding equally well as rowdy romp, what-happened mystery and man-crush comedy, THE HANGOVER is an unexpected winner
Total Film (10/29/2009)
Hugely enjoyable and frequently hilarious, this is a sharply written comedy with strong comic performances from a terrific ensemble cast
