Our take on The Hangover

Todd Phillips's 2009 comedy wakes up mid-disaster: after a wild bachelor-party night in Las Vegas, three friends come to with a baby in the closet, a tiger in the bathroom, and no memory of what happened—and no sign of Doug, the groom they're supposed to deliver to the altar. Their frantic, hungover reconstruction of the night powers a raucous mystery-comedy built on escalating absurdity and mismatched chemistry. Crude and fast-moving, it aims squarely at adults who enjoy outrageous, R-rated humor and don't mind bad behavior played for laughs. Ideal for a rowdy night in with friends rather than anyone seeking subtlety or restraint.
