The Hangover (Extreme Edition) [Blu-ray] Review

I was afraid that this is tasteless comedies are in the spirit of American Pie and Judd Apatow legacy. But I was pleasantly surprised, this is a well written and well acted film that is not only great fun but rewarding. While most of what happens in the plot is completely ridiculous (by design) are the actors believable and even sympathetic. The real theme of the film is the camaraderie between the three guys (perhaps the adoption of the fourth as well) and how to overcometogether ridiculously hard (hillariously and fun) situations. I read that the actors play Doug, Phil and Stu are actually friends in real life, and seems to speak in the manner and concern for each other. How many have noticed the site has much in common with "Dude, Where's My Car? but I think The Hangover is even better, as are the heroes (or so) older people who can digest the absurdity of their situation, not just stoners who are not aware of most of the timeto wjhat really happened.
The Hangover (Extreme Edition) [Blu-ray] Overview
From Old School director Todd Phillips comes a comedy about a bachelor party gone very, very wrong. Two days before his wedding, Doug (Justin Bartha) drives to Las Vegas with his best buddies Phil and Stu (Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms) and his future brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis), for a blow-out bachelor party they vow they’ll never forget. But when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning with pounding headaches, they can’t remember a thing. Their luxury hotel suite is beyond trashed and the groom is nowhere to be found. With no clue about what happened and little time to spare, the trio must attempt to retrace their bad decisions from the night before in order to figure out where things went wrong in the hopes of finding Doug and getting him back to L.A. in time for his wedding. But the more they begin to uncover, the more they realize just how much trouble they’re really in.

If you like your humor broadside up, hold the subtlety, you’ll want to nurse this Hangover with your best buds. The ensemble cast meshes perfectly–it’s like a super-R-rated episode of Friends: silly, slapstick, and completely in the viewer’s face. When four pals go to Vegas to celebrate the imminent nuptials of one of them, they partake in a rooftop toast to “a night we’ll never forget.” But they’re in for a big surprise: their celebration drinks were laced with date-rape drugs, so when they awake in their hotel room 12 hours later, not only are they hung over, but they can’t remember what they did all night long. Oh, and they’re missing the groom-to-be.
The film is so cheerfully raunchy, so fiercely crude, that the humor becomes as intoxicating as the mind-altering substances. The standout in the ensemble is Zach Galifianakis, who is alternately creepy and hilarious. Ed Helm (The Office), in addition to his memory, loses a tooth in uncomfortably realistic fashion, and Bradley Cooper (He’s Just Not That into You) has deadpan comic timing that whips along at the speed of light. “Ma’am, you have an incredible rack,” he blares to a pedestrian from the squad car the guys have “borrowed.” “I should have been a [bleeping] cop,” he tells himself approvingly.
Director Todd Phillips brings back his deft handling of the actors and the dude humor that worked so well in Old School, as well as the unctuous Dan Finnerty, memorable as a lounge/wedding singer in both films. But it’s the nonstop volley of jokes–most cheerily politically incorrect–that grabs the audience and thrashes it around the hotel room. Just watch out for the tiger in the bathroom. –A.T. Hurley
