The Hangover


It's Doug's bachelor party! And its in Las Vegas!!

Four friends - Doug (Justin Bartha), Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) - road trip to Vegas 2 days before Doug's wedding. They drive a swanky Mercedes that Doug's father-in-law to be (also Alan's father) lends them. Stu has lied to his long-time, nagging girlfriend that they are going to Napa Valley.

The friends decide on the villa instead of regular rooms at the Caesar's Palace - on Stu's credit card. And then the party starts. They have one shot each of a drug-laced drink on the roof of the hotel. And thats all they remember!

When they wake up the next morning, the villa is a complete mess - sofa singeing, broken glass, a missing tooth, no mattress in Doug's room, a tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet and NO DOUG!!

Then starts a frantic search for the bridegroom. They finally find him, just in time, on the roof, completely sunburnt.

This is one of the most funny movies I have seen in recent times. A LOT of sexual references s (subtle and otherwise), this movie kept me in splits almost all the time. Alan and the baby were hilarious, as was the drama with Mike Tyson! My favourite, though, was the Chinese don, Mr. Chow, who kidnaps 'Doug' and demands $80,000 that they had stolen from him.

A must-see!!
