The Hangover

"At once raucously free-wheeling and meticulously contrived, picture satisfies as a boys-gone-wild laff riot that also clicks as a seriocomic beat-the-clock detective story."

"But true to its title, The Hangover goes down smoothly enough and then kicks you in the head later on, when you start to examine the sources of your laughter."

"A funny movie, flat out, all the way through. Its setup is funny. Every situation is funny. Most of the dialogue is funny almost line by line."

"There is a sort of perverse brilliance or brilliant perverseness to be found in this story of a bachelor party gone terribly wrong."

"A piercingly funny, twisted "whatever-happens-in-Vegas" caper."
