The Hangover

The Hangover is the funniest movie I have seen this year. It is a great combination of two cliches, the crazy bachelor party and the crazy Vegas trip. Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms (of The Office), Zach Galifianakis and Justin Bartha take off to Vegas for a bachelor night, three old friends and a very strange brother-in-law to be. Next thing we see is a trashed penthouse villa at Caesars Palace and no one has any idea what happened the night before. The room is destroyed, there is a live tiger in the bathroom, the father-in-law to be's classic Mercedes, they borrowed to get there, is gone, and most troubling of all the groom is no where to be found. The rest of the movie is spent trying to piece together the night before and find the groom, so they can get to the wedding on time. If you think you've seen all the funny parts in the trailer, you haven't. There is a great cameo by Mike Tyson and the bizarre, twisted Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) is a scene stealer. Make sure you stay through the credits for the slide show.
