The Hangover rated R for sexual content including nudity, pervasive language, and some drug material

Same friend who recommended Horrible Bosses and Hall Pass put this film on for me during a visit.  Again this friend swore that I would love it.  Like the previous recommendations I didn't hate this picture but I didn't love it.

Four men travel to Las Vegas from Los Angeles to spend the night for a bachelor party.  The groom, a guy named Doug (played by Justin Bartha) is the tie that binds the group.  His two best friends are Phil (played by Bradley Cooper) and Stu (played by Ed Helms) and they are the ones who "organized" this event.  The fourth guy in the group is Alan (played by Zach Galifianakis), Doug's future brother-in-law.

The men travel to and arrive in Vegas with no problems.  Like any bachelor party depicted on film that goes to Vegas, the men have definite plans to hit up bars and casinos and just have an all around great time with their last hurrah before Doug gets married.  The next day it is apparent that things didn't go quite as planned.  The discovery of a chicken, a tiger, and a baby in the suite is certainly disconcerting enough but then it turns out that the groom is missing as well.  To add to the fun, none of the three remaining men can remember what happened the previous night.

So, off they go to find Doug and figure out just what exactly happened the previous night.  Along the way, the men find out that they apparently stole a cop car, meet a heart of gold stripper named Jade (played by Heather Graham) who is evidently married to Stu, and find that they have run afoul of a gangster named Mr. Chow (played by Ken Jeong) as well as Mike Tyson.  Meanwhile, through phone calls, Phil works on keeping the bride Tracy (played by Sasha Barrese) in the dark about the missing groom and Stu tries to fend off his bitch of a girlfriend Melissa (played by Rachel Harris).

The location of Doug is certainly a surprise and the film wraps up very nicely.  A lot of funny moments.  The story was well written and thought out. While the whole cast is great, I feel that Zach Galifianakis easily steals the scenes that he is in.  I also enjoyed that the film ends with "Right Round" by Flo Rida featuring Ke$ha playing while we the audience get to see pictures from the events of that fateful night.

If you are curious, check it out.  If you aren't curious, you aren't missing anything.
