The Hangover review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 06/24/13
"Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast!" Surprisingly, this movie from a real event has a simple premise yet very entertaining results about a group of friends adventure before marriage. This reviewer recalls having some laugh out loud moments throughout the film which mixes mystery and comedy. Doug Billings, and his best friends Phil Wenneck (Bradley Cooper), Stu Price (Ed Helms), and Tracy's brother and Doug's future brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis) travel to Las Vegas. The soundtrack was jumpy and hilarious on its own. The artists though some outlandish, were convincing especially Cooper and the scene stealer of the movie, Galifinakis. Screenplay was one of its main strengths with lines: "It's not a purse. It's a sachel. Besides, Indiana Jones has one." and "Well we should tell that to Rain Man, because he practically bankrupted a casino, and he was a reh-tard." It's only lack were the realism of certain scenes. Overall. nothing groundbreaking but The Hangover is still a very good comedy about mistaken identity, secrecy, loyalty and friendship.
