The Hangover

Got back from my 6 day reservist on Saturday afternoon and went to watch The Hangover at night with my jc friends. The review and synopsis are as follows.

When one of their best friends goes missing, three groomsmen played by Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis must retrace their last 40 hours at the Caesars Place bachelor party where they lost him. They must now figure out what happened in their drunken stupor and save their about-to-be-wed friend.

The Hangover is an outrageously funny and well-scripted comedy that depicts a bachelor party gone wild and crazy. This show is way over the top in terms of insanity but way over the top in terms of entertainment level as well. The cast is superb in their comic timing and they deliver the jokes brilliantly, especially Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms who are the offbeat and neurotic characters in the show.

Despite the movie being crude, vile, and even racially offensive, it still shines with the strong comedic cast and better than average comedy script. This movie is definitely on the top of my list for the funniest show this year.
