The Hangover Reviews
There is little surprise that ‘The Hangover 2’ is already in pre-production, this film is so good that it deserves to do well at the box office. ‘The Hangover’ is one of the funniest films of the year and is a must for those who love to laugh out loud.

Temporary and fading, it limits itself with its reliance on gross-out humor; once you’ve seen the depravity onscreen, the shock no longer exists, making its rewatchability nil. You’ll laugh a lot the first time you see it but see it only once.

Over at the Nevada Film Office, none of us staff members thought a little comedy with not-too- familiar stars would produce a Mike Tyson knock-out punch...

It may not be the most groundbreaking comedy, but following the drunken leads' exploits in reverse is a formula for a great time.

What happens in Vegas is very funny, indeed.
| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 10, 2020
The filmmakers throw in so many forced elements of farce, that it dissipates the sense that maybe, just maybe, this kind of thing could happen to any of us.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 31, 2019
Here's a comedy that understands how to be raunchy and smart -- and isn't afraid to get a laugh at any expense.
| Original Score: B | May 16, 2019
Galifianakis went from being an alt-comedy idol to a mainstream pop culture figure. The Hangover still feels like a breath of fresh air.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 26, 2019
Maybe, just maybe, the movie drags like a half-detached muffler and for some reason nobody wants to mention it.

Though it looks like just another men-will-be-guys-will-be-boys-will-be-idiots affair, this well-scripted affair still stands up as a refreshingly unpredictable laugh machine.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 14, 2018
The movie, in the end, feels as as shabby as the unfulfilled lives that, we assume, these men will resume once the fun and games are over.

In the case of The Hangover, Phillips made a decent diversion, but no classic; like its heroes you'll have a good time, then forget most of it when you wake up the following morning. It's a movie, not a film.

... I went in to The Hangover with low expectations but ended up laughing more times than I thought I would.
| Original Score: B | Sep 12, 2017
This is lazy, condescending half-assed filmmaking. When in doubt, simply slap a piece of rap music overtop of the action.

The galaxy Galifianakis is beaming in from is infinitely more fascinating than the one this film occupies, but his visits from Beserko World are more than worth it.
| Original Score: B | Jun 22, 2013
The kind of brilliant comedy that will have you gasping, laughing so hard you'll have tears in your eyes and rocking back in your chair from laughter.
| Original Score: 10/10 | May 25, 2013
Just when you think things can't get any more farcical, they do: The Hangover is the Crank of comedy.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Sep 29, 2012
If the movie's gleeful rush into areas of questionable comedic taste occasionally raises an eyebrow here and there, the end sequence will sear them right off.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Sep 29, 2011
A younger generation is finding new stupid things to do underneath the desert sun.
