So funny, so clever but, so raunchy, you don't want to tell your Sunday School class that you saw it!

Rating: 8/10 (16 June 2009)

Doug (Justin Bartha) is about to walk down the aisle with a beautiful lady, Tracy (Sasha Barrese). Therefore, his pals are taking him to Vegas for a big bachelor bash. These include schoolteacher Phil (Bradley Cooper), businessman Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug's soon-to-be brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis). Free-spirit Phil is trying to loosen everyone up, for Doug is less than adventurous, Stu is hogtied to his girlfriend from Hades, Melissa, who thinks they are going to Napa Valley for a wine tasting, and Alan is a chubby, consummate weirdo. The friends arrive at the hotel and go up on the roof for a toast. That's the last thing they remember, for in the morning, they wake up in a daze. A tiger is in their bathroom, a baby boy is in the kitchen, and Doug is missing. What happened in-between and why can't they remember? As they try to piece things together, while taking care of the little lad, they have encounters with the Korean mafia, Mike Tyson, a hooker who is sporting Stu's grandmother's ring, and more. Will they find Doug in time for him to make it to the ceremony? This film is very clever and very funny, sending most of the audience into a bellyache of laughter. However, it is definitely on the raunchy side, which some filmgoers will find offensive. You definitely don't want to mention in Sunday School class that you saw it. The cast is nice, with Cooper and Bartha quite fine as the two friends, and the lesser cast members are great, too. But, stealing the show, are Helms and Galifianakis, for they are funny beyond words and create very memorable characters in Stu and Alan, respectfully. The scenery in Vegas is glitzy while the costumes, camera work and other film amenities are very fine. Most importantly, great applause should be extended to the devilishly clever script and the rapid-fire direction. That does not mean, however, that drug use, excessing drinking, and other unsavory practices will seem "funny" to everyone. But, all in all, unless you are supremely hungover and have your head in the toilet, you would do well to head to the cinema for this one, all you comedy seekers. It is a laugh riot, period, adios, sayonara.
