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

 GO MIKE TYSON!!!, 2010-09-03
i do remember or not remember several drinking episodes like this tryhing to piece together the night before.... scenes i loved in this are mike tyson knockout and the naked guy in the car hahahahahaha!
Excellent film, 2010-08-25
Saw it in the cinema, well worth watching again on DVD
You think its going to be a slapstick Adam Sandler type sick-fest.
NO - its got a very convoluted plot and is actually great fun.
Great for an Adult night in - we even bought a bag of popcorn!
One of the rare films that made me laugh out loud.
piss funny, 2010-08-29
has to be one of the funniest films i've seen, the jokes were so damn halarious. really funny stuff.
the only bad part is when you watch it again it's no where near as funny as first time in the cinema but still really funny.
FUNNY AS!!, 2010-08-23
A very funny film with lots of fab shots of Vegas! If you like 'meet the parents' style comedy then this is for you, can be a bit silly but iv watched this film around 5 times now & still laugh at the fab one liners! Also has a great soundtrack & special features on the dvd. A good night in!
 The most unfunny comedy ever made, 2010-08-18
Talk about huge disappointments. The trailers looked good. The reviews looked good. Everything looked good... and then I watched it.
This is honestly the worst comedy I've seen in a long while. If you can call it a comedy at all that is. Because as far as I'm aware, comedies are meant to make you laugh. Comedies are meant to be funny aren't they? Well this film wasn't. I could think of a lot of words to describe this film, none of them good, and funny certainly wouldn't be one of them.
I don't think any of my mates who watched this film with me laughed once throughout the whole thing. I know I certainly didn't. The story was rubbish too. This film is total S***... give it a miss. If you want a comedy, watch anything else other than this pile. In fact, `Bambi' or 'Schindler's List' could claim to be more of a comedy than this film.
The only person I know who liked this film is a girl I know, and looking at a lot of the 5 star reviews, they seem to be by women too. I'm not being sexist here but maybe the humour is more up their street. Just a thought.
This film was so bad I was actually left feeling annoyed at the end of it - that's got to be a first for a film billed as the best comedy of the year. I think to earn that title, it was probably the only comedy of the year.
Complete rubbish: 0 out of 10
If this review was helpful to you at all please give it the thumbs up. Thanks
