The Hangover

Do you believe that a movie with a budget of USD 35 million can generate greater revenues than Angels and Demons and Terminator Salvation? The hangover is the biggest surprises this year. Of course, this kind of movie is not always successful in the markets outside the United States. For examples are Knocked Up and The Wedding Crashers. Both were a huge success in America, but not too successful in foreign countries. How about The Hangover?


Plot
When Doug is about to get married, his two friends and his cousin invite him to go to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. Phil, Stu, Alan, and Doug have been through a long and impressive night, but unfortunately, they do not remember anything. When Phil, Stu, and Alan woke up in the morning they realize that they are awakened in their hotel room with a tiger and a baby. That’s not surprising enough, their friend who is getting married the next day, Doug, has disappeared without a trace. Phil, Stu, and Alan had no other way to find their friend except by tracing back what they just did yesterday evening.

We can see the truths are revealed one by one when they are trying to trace everything back. They are desperate to find their missing friend. You may find this movie very entertaining.


Conclusion
The strongest point in The Hangover is the story. The story is not imposed. When watching The Ugly Truth or the proposal, we are laughing when we see the jokes on the screen, but I would say to myself that there can be no normal person in the world who would do something so stupid. It is different compare to The Hangover. The Hangover is not just offering you a comedy, but also a fine script and amazing twist on the story. We have to follow these three persons to find the answers of the mystery.
In this movie, we also can see Mike Tyson plays as himself. What does he do there? Well, you have to watch the movie to get the answer.
