NO shit- You JUST can’t miss The Hangover- but for a trip to Vegas of course!This one’s a MUST for the guys and their gals - but for the guys at the foremost. And what’s it about - A Bachelors party wrong ‘gone and forgotten’. Where else but in Vegas!

Phil (Bradley Cooper- who is stunning in all ways), Ed – “Dr. Faggot” (Stu price) decide to treat their dear friend Doug (Justin Bartha) with a night at Vegas for his bachelors party. Doug brings along Alan (Zach Galifianakis), his wife to be’s eccentric brother, and the four set out in Doug’s In-laws to be’s beloved Mercedes to the sin city.

And SINS they commit that night!

That’s not the problem though- What bothers them is that they get up the next morning and none of them remember what happened last night! What they have in their wrecked villa is a tiger in the bathroom, a baby and lot of confusion. It’s the hangover. And another small thing- They seem to have LOST DOUG WHO IS TO BE MARRIED THE NEXT DAY.

Bam! It begins here- this crazzzy ride- and ends with two weddings instead of one, 80000 dollars worth of poker chips in their bag, Mike Tyson, and four friends bound together. Forever. And that’s Hangover for you. Guaranteed to get you drunk!

Todd Phillips remarkably bringing his lost characters and the story together, entwining both simply yet craftily to create what the movie does. This of course wouldn’t be possible without writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, who’s precision with words and humour is what the movie sails on. Kudos!

What can we or rather what can’t we say about Brad, Stu and Zach- 10/10 casting- they are so perfect in the movie. No exaggerated faces or movements- Just doing what anybody would do in such a situation- and yet so extraordinarily hilarious.

Also in the music department- they have used popular songs- not just it fits but totally elevates the joy in and of the movie. Waah waah… a complete blissful entertainer!

Again I say, Miss this one for nothing… No shit.
