Some guys just can't handle Vegas...

Todd Phillips hit it big with his recent film and has been called the New Hero of Comedy. What is there to say about The Hangover? Besides it being one of the funniest movie I have ever seen, it includes a great cast of actors that you may not have heard of before watching. Bradley Cooper plays Phil who is a bad-ass school teacher and clearly the leader of his 'wolf pack'. Whatever he says goes and he definitely uses this to his advantage to get what he wants. Zach Galifianakis plays Alan, the awkward yet hilarious soon to be brother in law of Doug, played by Justin Bartha. Last but certainly not least is Stu, the somewhat dorky dentist played by Ed Helms who is mostly known for playing Andy Bernard in the comical series "The Office".
The movie starts with the 4 friends heading to Vegas to have one last crazy night before Doug get's married. But some guys just can't handle Vegas... What begins as an awesome bachelor party soon turns into a crazy weeknd they will never forget, or will they? When Phil, Alan, and Stu awake from the worst hangover of their lives, with no memory of the night before, they soon realize their friend Doug is missing. The movie contains a series of worst case scenarios that they just so happen to keep finding themselves in and kept me laughing the entire time. There were no dull moments and right when you thought they may have figured out where Doug was, some new obstacle stood in their way. They find a tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet, and Stu's missing a tooth... did I mention that's just in the first few minutes of them waking up? And if that's not crazy enough, there's a special appearance by Mike Tyson in their hotel room later on in the movie. The movie ends when they find their camera with all of the images from the previous night. ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS from beginning to end.
