Great movie. The way the story is told is just great. The humor starts up in the first 10 minutes and just keeps on rollin'. A lot of crude humor and a lot of sex jokes, but that's alright if it's done well, and in the case of this movie, it was. From tiger in the bathroom to a nude asian gangster jumping from the trunk of a car, this movie delivers laughs the whole way through. The best comedy of the year, in my opinion.

This movie could have been another dumb movie trying to be funny that would give us the same boring lads night out concept, but due to some great directing, acting and a unique way of telling the story of what happened that night makes this a very funny film that all comedy fans should go see this summer. Funniest movie since Superbad.

One of the funniest movies that I've seen in a long time. Every character played a unique yet funny role and please stay for the stinger during the credits. I can't wait for it to come to Blu-ray for my collection!

  This is a movie where you WANT to stick around for the credits. The beauty is that you are totally set up for it, and you don't mind one bit. That final sequence ties the movie together in an awesome fashion.

  A piercingly funny, twisted "whatever-happens-in-Vegas" caper.

  At once raucously free-wheeling and meticulously contrived, picture satisfies as a boys-gone-wild laff riot that also clicks as a seriocomic beat-the-clock detective story.

  The Hangover is a shaggy-dog tale that's actually, when you step back from it, perfectly shaped.

  Todd Phillips is no artist, but his lowbrow comedies (Road Trip, Old School) always hit the mark because they're so psychologically true: the superego tries to control the id, but the id gets drunk and barfs all over it. Hilarious.

  So if you're looking for the next stop on the Shockingly Experimental Comedy train, don't get off here -- this ride is strictly for laughs.

  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.

  The Hangover ain't art, but Phillips has shaped the hardcore hilarity into the summer party movie of all our twisted dreams.

  There is a sort of perverse brilliance or brilliant perverseness to be found in this story of a bachelor party gone terribly wrong.

  A furiously paced, inventive and flat-out hilarious take on a tried-and-tested formula. An exemplary bromantic comedy that doesn't sacrifice heart in pursuit of laughs, maintaining plenty of the former and a superabundance of the latter.

  Overall it's more amusing than hilarious.

  The Hangover remains unrepentantly irresponsible and hilarious throughout, culminating with what could be the funniest montage ever to grace a picture's end credits. The summer's first sleeper hit has arrived.

  It's a worst-case-scenario of bachelor party morning-after, and it is howlingly funny.

  A lot of what happens is gross, puerile and gratuitous, granted, but Helms and Galifianakis are truly funny in offbeat fashion, and the script allows Phillips room for some brilliant slapstick. You will not be ennobled. But you will be entertained.
