The Rumpus

In the case of The Hangover, Phillips made a decent diversion, but no classic; like its heroes you'll have a good time, then forget most of it when you wake up the following morning. It's a movie, not a film.

... I went in to The Hangover with low expectations but ended up laughing more times than I thought I would.

Rated: B

The Hangover isn't painful to watch. If friends drag you to this movie, you won't hate them afterwards. But maybe it'll seem a lot funnier if you are drinking.

Rated: C

Deep Focus Review

Temporary and fading, it limits itself with its reliance on gross-out humor; once you’ve seen the depravity onscreen, the shock no longer exists, making its rewatchability nil. You’ll laugh a lot the first time you see it but see it only once.

Rated: 3/4

Robin Holabird

Over at the Nevada Film Office, none of us staff members thought a little comedy with not-too- familiar stars would produce a Mike Tyson knock-out punch...

Gone With The Twins

It may not be the most groundbreaking comedy, but following the drunken leads' exploits in reverse is a formula for a great time.

Rated: 7/10

Larry K Possibly the best comedy of all time Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/21/24 Full Review Nicholas L guy below me needs to chill. the movie was really good and you will laugh everytime you watch it Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/20/24 Full Review Audience Member this is the worst movie I've ever seen, made me want to kill myself and the disgrace who created this. I don't know how many iq I've lost while watching this film. Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Charlotte L The hangover is a movie realised by Todd Phillips and inspired by a real event that happened to Tripp Vinson. The plot is very intriguing, I was personally attracted by this story of disappearance in Las Vegas. The adventures were very imaginative and filled with crazy humor… I find that this film has well-chosen shots, interesting light effects at night, beautiful landscapes during the day, as well as a kind of "tour" of the places in Vegas. The script is quite easy to understand and the characters are endearing, my favourites characters are Alan and M.Chow, they are hilarious.In short, it's my favorite film, both thanks to its crazy story and its laugh-out-loud jokes. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/26/24 Full Review John F Years later I still recall scenes and laugh out load so yeah- 5 stars Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/13/24 Full Review Will B Funny, very silly but basic storyline & very easy watching Rated 3/5 Stars • Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/10/24 Full Review Read all reviews
