The Hangover is great and raunchy fun!. It's one of the best comedies to come out, in a while.

Rating: 8/10 (7 February 2010)

The Hangover was a movie that everyone hyped about, to be one of the best comedies to come out in ages, and I agree!. I'm very picky on Comedies now a days, because most of them turn out to be the same old stuff. The Hangover takes raunchiness to the next level here, I was amazed at how far they went, past the line. They even go as far, as to joke about a baby, jerking off!. What really makes The Hangover though, is the likability of the 4, and the astounding chemistry they have. Each one of them is different, but funny and likable in there own way. I enjoyed the Rain man spoof very much, with Phil and Alan, it was very funny and cute. I also really enjoyed The Las Vegas scenery, since it reminded me of my trip. It's also one of those movies that surprises you, because despite the hype, the trailer didn't look all that impressive to me. There are so many unbelievably crazy moments here, it's insane, if you like off the wall humor, you will love The Hangover. It's raunchy, it's dirty and just plain fabulous!.
Performances. Bradley Cooper has shown the ability, to be a great versatile actor, I mean the guy is in everything now a days. He is funny, while remaining the cool sport of the bunch, always wanting to have a blast. Ed Helms is a hoot as the nervous wreck, always worried about what his girlfriend will do, if she finds out. He's the nerd of the bunch, but instantly likable, and very funny himself. Zach Galifianakis is insanely funny as Alan. He's clearly off his rocker, but that is what makes him so funny. Justin Bartha, does not have as much screen time as the others, but makes a big impact himself, when he is. Heather Graham is a favorite of mine, due to her beauty and versatility. Here she is great fun, while being a likable support. Jeffrey Tambor is funny as Alan's dad. Ken Jeong tested my patience once again, he was funny in doses I suppose. Mike Tyson is actually sporadically amusing with his screen time, I was really surprised, with his adequate performance, I see potential in him. Rachael Harris plays the funny, yet nagging woman to a T.
Bottom line. The Hangover really does live up to most of the hype. It's one of the funniest movies, I have seen in some time. It's raunchy, it's nasty, and downright Magnifique!. I'm all for the rumored sequel, I can't wait to see what these guys do next. Highly recommended.
