Movie Review: The Hangover
The Hangover is a movie about the dream bachelor party of almost any 20-30 something-year-old that I know. A few buddies go to Vegas and wake up the next morning with the groom missing, one of the groomsmen married to a stripper, Mike Tyson’s tiger in the bathroom and a stolen cop car waiting at the valet. The best part is they have absolutely no memory of what happened. What more could you ask for? That’s pretty much the story of “The Hangover”. It’s an absolutely hilarious movie and one that I strongly recommend. Read more
Restricted Trailer for The Hangover
A new restricted trailer for The Hangover — set to Mike Tyson’s version of the Phil Collins hit “In The Air Tonight” — is now available online. The movie, starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, is due in theaters June 5th. Check out the video below.
Hangover Sequel Planned
Although The Hangover doesn’t hit theaters until June 5th, Warner Bros. has already hired Todd Phillips and Scot Armstrong to write a sequel.
In The Hangover, a trio of groomsmen (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis) bring the groom (Justin Bartha) for a night in Las Vegas they’ll never forget. But when they wake up the next morning they can’t remember a thing — including where the groom has gone. With only hours to spare before the wedding, they must retrace their steps in order to figure out what happened.
The movie has done well with test audiences and the newly released trailer was a success last week at ShoWest — enough so to give Warner Bros. confidence to greenlight the sequel. Production is expected to begin later this year.
