“Some guys just can’t handle Vegas”
Probably the funniest and most original comedy of recent years is Todd Phillips’ “The Hangover”. Set in the entertainment capital of the World…Las Vegas the repercussions from a ‘lost’ 12 hour batchelor party start to sink in. This original 2009 UK Quad film poster designed by Crew Creative Advertising is exemplary featuring the three leading actors ‘The Wolfpack’ in various states of disarray. Originally rolled (as issued) this looks and displays superbly and is a fine example of original movie memorabilia for “The Hangover” fan… “Remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Except for herpes. That shit’ll come back with you.”

The Hangover Movie Poster
“Where the hell is my tiger ?”
From the moment that I saw the trailer for “The Hangover“ I knew I had to see this movie, I don’t think I had laughed so hard watching a trailer in my life. But one thing I was kind of concerned about was how most movies just show the funny parts in the trailer and this would just be another “Old School” type of movie that would have no originality. The great thing about it as absurd as the story is, seriously, it’s kind of realistic in some matter. I mean, who hasn’t had a morning where they woke up from a night of drinking and just cannot remember one thing about the night before? This is a comedy mystery story that just gets funnier with each scene that is played due to the strong cast, great chemistry and a hilarious story.
Doug (Justin Bartha) is about to be married, so his friends: Stu (Ed Helms), Phil (Bradley Cooper), and Doug’s soon to be brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis), take him to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. Stu’s girlfriend is very controlling, thereby forcing Stu to lie to her about their destination. The guys get a suite at their hotel, then sneak on to the roof of the hotel and toast to the night ahead. Skipping forward to the next morning, the three groomsmen awake with no memory of the previous night. They find Doug missing, Stu missing a tooth, a tiger in the bathroom, and a baby in the closet. Initially they believe Doug to have gone out for breakfast, but soon worry when his cell phone has been left behind. They collect what memories they have to figure what happened to Doug. They go through the whole town of Vegas discovering they messed with the Chinese Mafia, Mike Tyson, marrying a stripper and it just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
This is one of the funniest movies I have ever seen, I don’t think I’ve laughed so hard consistently in a theater. Granted the movie has it’s flaws, not everyone is going to fully get it or have the same sense of humor, but just to see Mike Tyson jam out to Phil Collins‘ “In The Air Tonite” is worth the ticket price alone. I don’t think there isn’t going to be one person I don’t recommend this movie too. I think what did it for me was the cast, they just had such great chemistry together and really made the movie work and took us with on this crazy story. All the side characters were a great laugh too with Heather Graham as Stu’s stripper wife and the Chinese Mafia leader Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong) who has the biggest “WTF?!” moment with getting out of their car trunk naked and beating the heck out of the boys. Trust me, you have to see this movie, if you liked Old School, you will love The Hangover! If you have ever had those mornings when you woke up and don’t remember anything, this is the movie for you.
