the hangover

all that hype? worth it! this movie is a great display of some new and fresh comedic voices getting a chance to take center stage. it is certainly the freshest comedy since '40 year old virgin'. the story is pretty basic, four guys head out for a bachelor party in vegas, things go horribly wrong and they have to try and figure out the next day what exactly happened. the premise is told as if it were a mystery story and the guys go around trying to piece together clues. the three of the guys, bradley cooper who plays the smooth operator, ed helms, the uptight guy in a bad relationship, and zach galifinakis is the uncomfortable little brother of the bride who they invite reluctantly. all three of them are given real moments to shine as they try and figure out what went down the night before. the mystery takes some really strange twists, but all of them play out so perfectly! i was genuinely laughing so hard that my stomach hurt after the movie was over! pure hilarity!
