Movie Review - The Hangover

I saw The Hangover this past weekend. I wasn't expecting much - how many times can you do the same story - bunch of drunk guys, and in Vegas, no less? I was pleasantly surprised.

The premise is that a group of three friends are headed to Vegas for a bachelor's party night two days before one of them is due to get married. The groom invites his future brother-in-law also who is very strange and a huge comic relief the entire time. He is so weird it makes scene almost uncomfortable and that's funny. So they go to Vegas, go out, and wake up the next morning with the room trashed and can't remember a thing. They had apparently been drugged. Oh, and there's one small problem - the groom is missing and they can't find him.

They call the girls and say they got comped another night and they'll leave early the morning of the wedding to arrive on time. The entire next 24-hours they spend backtracking through witnesses and ticket stubs trying to figure out what happened in order to find their friend. To say they got in a bit of trouble and some hilarious situations is an understatement. And there was a wrap-up at the end that was great.

If you want a great laugh, this is the movie to see. Like I said, I wasn't expecting anything good at all, and I actually got funny. Very rare - and very nice!
