The Hangover...Fulfilled my Summer Laughs!!

Just think about all of these films Road Trip, Old School, and Starsky & Hutch well director Todd Phillips added another to his repetoire The Hangover, and its a doozy. This 2009 comedy is sure to bring you to your knees crying tears of joy. Can you imagine taking a trip to Las vegas and just losing your mind to the point where YOU HAVE NO IDEA what went down. Then you gotta see this movie.

I must say I was impressed with this film! This movie fulfilled its purpose and some! I knew coming into this movie that I was going to laugh, but I got way more entertainment than I had anticipated. This movie goes right up there with films like Pineapple Express, Forgetting Sarah marshall, Superbad, Step Brothers, and many more. Each of these were undoubtbly hilarious and funny.

As you watch the film each scene just adds a piece to the puzzle that we will later figure towards the end. You can't help but sit there with your mouth wide open because you can't believe what just happened. If it isnt a tiger in loose in the bathroom, blow-up dolls in the tub, missing teeth, or a mysterious baby showing up you can't help but wonder, "what can happen next?" LOL!! And to top it off you get to see Mike Tyson throw a knockout punch while singing "In the Air Tonight"...Just priceless!!

And just think Roger Ebert had a field day with it, "Now this is what I'm talkin' about. The Hangover is a funny movie, flat out, all the way through. Its setup is funny. Every situation is funny. Most of the dialogue is funny almost line by line."

And to think the plot was inspired by a real-life event that happened to Tripp Vinson, a producer friend of The Hangover executive producer Chris Bender. Vinson had gone missing from his own Vegas bachelor party, blacking out and waking up "in a strip club being threatened with a very, very large bill [he] was supposed to pay".

Please believe there are enough one-liners to quote all summer, and enough subtle jokes to laugh about later on that you didn't catch the first time. And keep this in mind when watching the ending, if you enjoyed Old School then this ending will be priceless!
