MYeah's review: The Hangover

Rating: 8/10 (25 May 2010)

Hello everybody! This weekend I saw The Hangover.
The film centers on four best friends: Phil Wenneck (Played by Bradley Cooper) Stu Price (Ed Helms) Alan Garner (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug Billings (Justin Bartha), who all travel to Las Vegas, to celebrate Doug's bachelor party before he gets married. But the morning after, they wake up to a massive hangover. And for some reason, they cant remember ANYTHING from last night. And what's worse? It turns out they have lost Doug. They find out that the reason WHY they can't remember anything is because they were slipped roofies. They have to retrace all of their steps from the twelve hour period that they have no memory of to find Doug.
And the film is absolutely hilarious!
The script is creative, inspired, and brilliantly structured. The film is occasionally very random, but it's still so funny. The film is very well paced, and isn't hindered by slow pace that the first few minutes does suffer from a bit.
The performances are great in this movie. Cooper, Helms, and Galifianakis all play off of each other so well as an ensemble (They're the three best friends that anyone's ever had. :D ), and just as good separately, along with Justin Bartha as well. They're all supported by some great cameos from Heather Graham, Jeffrey Tambor, Ken Jeong, Rob Riggle, and Mike Tyson among others.
Overall thoughts: The film's strongest benefits are from it's creative, and hilarious screenplay, and performances.
The movie gets *** out of **** from me.
