Amazon.co.uk Review
If you like your humour broadside up, hold the subtlety, you'll want to nurse this Hangover with your best mates. The ensemble cast meshes perfectly--it's like a super-R-rated episode of Friends: silly, slapstick, and completely in the viewer's face. When four pals go to Vegas to celebrate the imminent nuptials of one of them, they partake in a rooftop toast to "a night we'll never forget." But they're in for a big surprise: their celebration drinks were laced with date-rape drugs, so when they awake in their hotel room 12 hours later, not only are they hung over, but they can't remember what they did all night long. Oh, and they're missing the groom-to-be. The film is so cheerfully raunchy, so fiercely crude, that the humour becomes as intoxicating as the mind-altering substances. The standout in the ensemble is Zach Galifianakis, who is alternately creepy and hilarious. Ed Helm (The Office), in addition to his memory, loses a tooth in uncomfortably realistic fashion, and Bradley Cooper (He's Just Not That into You) has deadpan comic timing that whips along at the speed of light. "Ma'am, you have an incredible rack," he blares to a pedestrian from the squad car the guys have "borrowed." "I should have been a [bleeping] cop," he tells himself approvingly. Director Todd Phillips brings back his deft handling of the actors and the dude humour that worked so well in Old School, as well as the unctuous Dan Finnerty, memorable as a lounge/wedding singer in both films. But it's the nonstop volley of jokes--most cheerily politically incorrect--that grabs the audience and thrashes it around the hotel room. Just watch out for the tiger in the bathroom. --A.T. Hurley

 best film of '09, 2010-02-23
I never really watch films more than once but I've seen this 3 times already; get funnier every time.
 Disapointing, 2010-02-28
I was really looking forward to seeing this film as any reports i'd heard of it suggested it was very funny and the premise allowed for the writers to really go for it. Sadly the potential wasn't realised and although it would be inaccurate to call it predictable it was just a little dull.
Good, light hearted comedy, 2010-03-08
A great film which is easy to watch. Although the subject matter would suggest this is a film for male audiences, as a female, I thoroughly enjoyed it. The film takes a while to get going - a bit like a hangover! But all the twists and turns make this a funny film to watch. Good for a Saturday night with a few friends.
The hangover dvd, 2010-02-28
1st copy was not good, however re-issued a perfect copy after contact with no hassle
The Hangover, 2010-03-03
I watched this film with my husband and 2 sons (aged 19 and 21) and we all thoroughly enjoyed it. I can recommend it to anyone who likes a light hearted amusing comedy. Everyone I have spoken to who has seen this film enjoyed it.
