I was all hyped out about the movie, but when I saw it, I joined the bandwagon. Zach was true to his stand up comedy in this role. The cast was truely having fun and it showed in the end result. Ed Helms was a surprise to me. He is lackluster in The Office, but was super in this role. This movie has made me rethink his potential in comedy. This a must once see and a probable multiple see, because people will be talking about it and you'll want to see it again to relive the laughs.

After seeing the 40 year old virgin I didn't think I'd ever find another movie to make me laugh as hard. This is without a doubt, the funniest movie I have ever seen. The acting was great, the writing was fantastic. Zach G (long ass thing I'm not going to try to spell) was AMAZING. See this movie if only for him. I always liked his stand up so it's great to see him really break out and be so memorable, this movie would have been forgettable and boring if not for him and his character. Excellent. I'll be quoting this for years to come.

A pretty funny movie, interesting story, and a good time to be had here. There's some really original humor, but sometimes the film tries too hard to be funny (let's see a fat guy in a jock strap!) and these moments are pretty annoying. The cast is pretty good, even though Bradley Cooper isn't given anything to do other than look pretty and swear a lot. For the most part, you'll probably laugh. No idea how they're going to do a sequel to this though.

While I wasn't completely blown away, The Hangover is a solid comedy with plenty of great moments. Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis have career-changing roles here and Ken Jeong is in his best over-the-top mode. Worthy of all the praise.

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.

Best comedy of the year. Not as funny as I thought it was going to be, but it had its moments. A must see.

Todd Phillips has brought a certain cool style to comedy.. Like with Starsky and Hutch, Road Trip, and Old School, there is a certain pristine look about his movies. Same with the Hangover. And for the most part it works, its funny, its crude, its obscene, and the plot is interesting, at first. Its clever in that its almost like a detective story, figuring out what happened, but towards the end I just stopped caring and wanted them to find the groom and get to the end credits. Its definatly watchable but a comedy classic it is not.

Ed Helms is extremely funny, like always. And, the bearded guy was pretty funny as well. But, unfortunately, the rest of the movie kinda sucked. It was at least worth the money to see it though. So, all in all, not too bad. It just wasn't as good as i thought it'd be.
