The Hangover (2009) (Theatrical) - 10/10

The Hangover was everything I wanted it to be and more, a comedy that will be as popular as Todd Phillip's other classic Old School and definitely will be a standard for which all bachelor parties will be compared to moving foward. Everything just worked perfectly in this movie as all the flashbacks and plot points tied together towards the end filling in the gaps that the audience had along with all the characters within the story. It was a refreshing and realistic interpretation of how everything that could possibly go wrong does but with hilarious results. I didn't know whether to cringe or just laugh my ass off in certain scenes, I real feat given that I've seen a lot and been to vegas multiple times before. The script is well written and full of pop culture references but the jokes don't distract from the story which flies by. This movie will make tons of money and be embraced by college students as well as adults alike. The Hangover surprised me and that's not easy, one of the best comedies I've seen in a while that didn't sink so low with it's humor but instead brought the fun in seeing the misery these 3 guys go through to find the groom before his wedding day. Highly recommended to see with your friends.
