5 of 5 stars for the comedy The Hangover. Let's see, take four guys (one to get married in two days), add Las Vegas, some drugs, shake well and you end-up the next day in a hotel suite with strippers, a tiger, a trashed room, a missing mattress, a missing front tooth, a live chicken and a missing bride groom. What's the problem? Noone remembers what happened--nothing, nada, zip. This movie is about the quest to learn what happened last night--and to find Douggie (the bride groom). The three remaining guys set-out to unwind the nights events, including a trip to a wedding chapel, discovery of a new wife (former stripper) for one of the three guys and a visit to the home of Mike Tyson (the boxer). This is a very funny movie with extreme moments and odd ball surprises. Two buckets of nuked popcorn are a must for this funny movie! Well made, extremely well written (who thinks of this stuff??) and really fun to watch. OK, a spoiler (not): Where did the live chicken in the hotel room come from??? They never explained that one. I highly recommend this movie; however, it is for mature audiences, lots of adult stuff. Oh, the infant found in their hotel room was a professionally trained stunt baby, so noone was hurt.
What's great about it: Extremely funny with great situations, some real surprises
What's not so great: The Blu-Ray extras are few and not too interesting

"Were the 3 best friends that anyone could have." This movie will have your side split open with laughter and when its not destroying your funny bone it will shock you until your floor hits the ground. Hangover is nothing but a non stop barrage of great moments and shocking scenes all strung together in a great story and unforgettable adventure. You spend most of the movie trying to figure out how certain things happened. Like how did a lion get into the bathroom or why is the recliner still smoking from last night? Its nice to see a comedy come out every once in a while that pushes all your senses and maybe your buttons. This movie looks to take you on the journey with the characters by confusing the viewer as well. Zack G. is a show stealer. The rest of the cast are firing on all cylinders as well. Don't rent this... BUY IT! You will want to see this over and over again. Most of it will be missed because you will be on the floor in tears of laughter.
What's great about it: Whirlwind adventure with non stop laughs.

I was sooooo excited when this movie came to DVD since I never went to the theaters to watch it (Im so against watching comedies in theaters). My husband and I were pretty disappointed :( This movie was wayyy to hyped up! Dont get me wrong it was funny, it just wasnt that funny. I saw "I love you man" right after this movie and my husband and I had to pause the movie several times because of our laughter. Now that was a funny movie!! You should check that one out!!
What's great about it: It wasnt a horrible movie.....
What's not so great: It wasnt the funniest either!

The movie, with all the hype it received, was not nearly as good as I thought it would be. I was thinking more along the lines of "Very Bad Things" with Christian Slater and crew. I am not sure why I thought it would be more dark, but I did. There were funny moments in it...maybe I was just not in the right mood to give it all the accolades it received.

The Hangover has been getting rave reviews and many commenters giving it "instant classic" status. So a great movie, but a terrible use of the Blu ray format. There is no insert to speak of, no special packaging, no nothing. You open it up and you get a bluray, no questions asked. If not for the constant price specials on this item, it would be horribly overpriced. The movie itself is decent but the sound, even with the latest codecs, garnishes no real audio sound benefits over dvd.
Speaking of DVD, that is exactly what this Bluray feels like. The amature attempt at a menu still has the hard clipped (and cheap looking) icons of DVD menus. You won't even get a vignette of moving imagery or clips to half amuse you, you'll just get a flat title screen. Extras are also the biggest joke. The highlight of the extras are the "extra photos" from the camera. While entertaining content, it was presented in an incredibly cumbersome and simple manner. I've seen 10 year old movies redone in Bluray with better extra content and highlights than this.
For purists (who could care less about extras) a good buy just for the movie, but you definitely won't be impressed with anything else. For those who buy Blurays for the step-up in quality and extras, not the best buy. Make sure you buy it on sale for under $17 or you're paying a premium for content that isn't there.
