Remember the last time you got drunk and had a bad hangover? If you think that your hangover was bad, brace yourself. Picture this: you get up in the morning and find a roaring tiger in your restroom. That is not all. Your friend, the bachelor who is about to get married on the same day, goes missing. And if you thought it ended there, you’re highly mistaken. Welcome to the worst 'Hangover' in the history of celluloid.
Doug (Justin Bartha) is about to get married. His friends Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug's soon-to-be brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis), take him to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. Things spin out of control as the friends wake up the next morning without a clue of the preceding night’s events. It is the day on which Doug is about to get married; but he goes missing and none of the friends know where he is.
The script is the strength of the film. There are a lot of hilarious moments in the film. The film doesn’t drag but you feel that the humour is too slapstick at times and that it could have been better executed. At times there is scope for more humour, it disappoints on that front to a certain extent.
The editing is high-grade combined with some wonderful cinematography. The soundtrack also meshes seamlessly with the happenings on screen. The lyrics match the incidents perfectly.
It has some awesome performances which carry the film forward. Zach Galifianakis impresses with his comic timing. Ed Helms as the dentist, who removes his own tooth, is very funny. Bradley Cooper gives a good performance as well. Justin Bartha has only a small role to play. The cameo of Mike Tyson is pretty entertaining.
The DVD contains extra features such as ‘Map of destruction’ which traces the steeps that the guys took during their crazy evening. It also has Three best friends song which the actors have performed.
You will surely get a ‘hangover’ of funny moments and characters from The Hangover. Make sure you don't miss buying this DVD!
