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.

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.

The Hangover is funny but not deeply so. There's a difference between funny incidents piled up in a line and people who make us laugh because of who they are.

The director and his screenwriters have come up with the funniest film to appear in ages. It avoids the predictable crudity and silly laddishness (well, almost) you'd expect, and delights with zinging one-liners and charming performances.

This is an above par effort, excellently played and just naughty enough to be thought daring as well as amusingly spiteful.

Audience Reviews for The Hangover

Dec 06, 2013Wild and crazy, The Hangover is an outrageous comedy with non-stop laughs. The morning after an out-of-control Vegas bachelor party three friends have to retrace their steps in order to find the groom and get him to his wedding. Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis make for a hilarious comedy team and have great chemistry together. And, the storytelling is really good, weaving a fun mystery full of shocking surprises. The humor gets a little overly crass and vulgar, but most of it works. Full of hysterical shenanigans, The Hangover is incredibly entertaining.Dann M Super Reviewer

Jun 30, 2013While The Hangover is undeniably crude, well acted, and fun, it also feels a bit overrated. The laughs are there, but they are more chuckles rather than stomach hurting. The Hangover is a good time, but it is slightly overrated.Joey T Super Reviewer

Mar 22, 2013It's definitely funny at times, but in the end, all of it screams: "mediocre." There's nothing remarkable here. Just a string of hit-or-miss jokes.Matthew Samuel M Super Reviewer
