I’m still laughing after seeing this movie about a groom and his three groomsmen who road-trip to Vegas for the bachelor party; whereupon they wake up the next morning not remembering the night before, nor where the groom is, and have to try to retrace their tracks to find him in time for the wedding. The groomsmen share equally pretty funny roles, and even a tiger-owning Mike Tyson makes an appearance.
It’s pretty hysterical and I was quite dubious beforehand, thinking it would be just the same old buddy genre of immature men, bathroom humor and bad taste, without much behind it. But “Hangover” is pleasantly and surprisingly more than that. It’s still crazy, for sure, utterly nutty and far from politically correct, but there’s some substance here and some genuinely funny humor, making it a thoroughly entertaining wild ride — sure to be the summer’s hit for laughs. So get a babysitter, or do what you have to do, and get thee to a theater. You deserve a corrupt break like this.
ps. It’s safe to say the movie gets a strong R rating if you’re wondering about the kiddies etc.
