Side-splitting

Rating: 9/10 (14 September 2010)

Over half of the movies I watch are comedies, and The Hangover is by far the funniest film I have ever seen. From start to finish, this production will have you out of your seat laughing. Everything from ironic to dry to crude humor, this movie has it all. No one will leave disappointed. The Las Vegas setting is perfect too. Anything is possible in the City of Sin and this movie proves just that. Also, having been filmed on the strip and in the actual hotels just adds to the film's authenticity and allure.
After a hilarious introduction of the characters for the first 20 minutes or so, this sidesplitting production heats up really fast. After each of the four main characters takes a shot of Jagermeister on the roof of Caesars Palace, everything fades to black and the next thing we see is a several thousand dollar a night penthouse in complete ruin. The TV is busted, there's a chicken running around the room, hundreds of beer cans are littered throughout and furniture is tipped over as the three remaining characters wake up after what apparently was a wild and crazy night on the town. One character has a missing tooth and another wakes up wearing just a skin-tight shirt (no pants). To make matters worse, a real-life tiger has found its way into the bathroom and one of the guys from the group is missing, setting up the premise for the rest of the film.
In their attempt to find their missing buddy, the three remaining friends get themselves in, and out, of serious trouble. One is smacked in the face by an angry Mike Tyson while another finds himself facing the reality of 'accidentally' marrying an exotic dancer the previous night. A surprise in the trunk of their car sets up an entire sequence of hilarious and zany events.
Please, do yourself a favor: RENT THIS MOVIE! You won't regret it! What happens in Vegasdoesn't stay in Vegas. We get to see it all! Warning to parents: At the end of the movie when the four look through the digital roll of photos from the wild night, some extremely sexually explicit material is shown.
