Overrated I only saw this recently after my friends had been worshipping it for years and I just have to say that this movie is so overrated. As for the content there is a lot of swearing and sex but nothing a 15 year old couldn't deal with. Adult Written by davyborn June 7, The raunchy original.
Not for sensitive viewers. Todd Phillips massively surprising original hit that started it all, The Hangover, is a film that benefited itself in terms of lifting itself off the ground and far, far away from the likes of the usual genre fair that seems to dominate the area of raunchy comedies these days, and take it to the next level, with far above-average writing, a clever concept, great performances by some great comedic actors, and, of course, a huge batch of memorable, hilarious characters.
The Hangover takes the concept of a wild bachelor party between a group of best-men, including the groom-to-be, takes them to Las Vegas for a weekend of drugs, alcohol and partying, and, the next morning, when they wake up, there's a tiger in the hotel room, a baby and no trace of the best-man.
After that, Phillips hurtles you through a breathless minutes of odd-ball characters and situations, including a Thai drug dealer known as Mr. Chow, a Vegas prostitute who ended up marrying one of the guys during the wild night, and a group of punks hot on the trail, and, through all of that, they still have to find there best friend, the groom, and bring him back to his wedding in time. Now, The Hangover features a excellent cast including Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifanakis and Justin Bartha as the members of the "Wolfpack", the group of guys, but also includes other comedy greats like Jeffrey Tambor, Heather Graham, Mike Epps, and, of course, Ken Jeong as the now iconic fan-favorite character, the cocaine-loving, psychopath, Mr.
Leslie Chow. Also, add in an extended cameo from former boxing champ Mike Tyson, and your cast is sold, completely on there talent, alone. But, it's the long grocery-list of debauchery that the boys end up going through the day after, just to loo for Doug Justin Bartha , which ends up being more than half-the fun. Box Office, alone, securing sequels in the next two years, separately.
While the sequels aren't as good, they still end up bringing there own fair share of laughs and smiles to our faces, even if they both don't come even remotely close to bracing the hysteric heights that this film does. Now, The Hangover, obviously, received a R Rating, and the following content is to give parents a slightly more clear idea of what is to be expected: The Hangover, like one would expect, contains relentless, wall-to-wall and supremely wild sequences of crude sexual content, coupled with non-stop explicit sexual references, and evens several shots of full frontal male nudity, breasts and and some slightly obscured sex acts, insures that this film isn't for minors.
Also, While the end credits photograph montage depicting what the boys actually did during there booze-laden celebration is very, very funny, it features some fairly shocking sexual behavior that will make many people not used to this type of humor, very, very uncomfortable.
Also, there is some violence, as well, including the character of Ed Helm's Stu tearing out his own tooth with a pair of pliers, resulting in copious blood, and some scuffles and shootouts with the villains, and thus is one of those comedies that is more violent than many. Also, there is some drug use here, as well, including pill-pooping, roofies injected into drinks, and a brief shot of a main character snorting a line of cocaine. And, finally, there is pervasive language throughout the movie, including more than F-words and its derivatives, but also many sues of other words such as sh-t, d-mn, g-dd-mn, h-ll, a--, a--h-le, and more.
The Hangover remains a prime example of how such a seemingly derivative and average comedy can surprise in so many positive ways, making this film a definite watch for any comedy fan.

While some female characters are depicted as life partners and positive influences, some are depicted as nagging harridans or simple sex objects. One character spends much of the film lamenting an excised tooth -- a bleeding, gaping wreck of a lost incisor. Some gunplay. A baby is hit in the head with a car door and is present during a few scenes of peril.
Extensive male and female nudity, including nude buttocks and breasts. Discussion of sexual acts, techniques, and one character's work as an "escort. Explicit discussions of infidelity, one-night stands, and other acts.
Mimed mock bestiality for comedic effects. Cheese," implying that he's on some kind of serial offender watchlist. Mentions and on-screen display of brands includes many mentioned as plot points, including Caesar's Palace, Mercedes-Benz, Chuck E. The entire film revolves around excessive drinking and drug abuse.
Characters drink beer, wine, and hard liquor to excess. A character thinks he's giving his friends Ecstasy without their consent but is, in fact, giving them "Roofies," the "date rape drug. Drunk driving is implied.
Photos in the closing-credits montage depict cocaine use. Reference to marijuana. It's worth noting that the brutal consequences of drug and alcohol abuse -- aches, memory loss, vomiting, humiliation, and despair -- are depicted unflinchingly.
Parents need to know that this hilarious but extremely raunchy comedy from the director of Old School is decidedly not for younger teens. Let's face it: The movie's whole premise involves drinking and being drugged.
There's lots of comedic violence, sex, substance abuse, and over-the-top language. While you could stretch and suggest that there's a message about friendship and responsibility, that's like suggesting that Twinkies and soda contain some vitamin C. Still, this movie is turning out to be the teen buzz movie of the summer of Parents also need to know that this review is for the rated version of this film.

Where did they go? And why is there a tiger in their hotel suite? As a kind of boozed-soaked detective story, it's remarkably engaging, and the trio of leads each bring something to the proceedings -- Cooper's ratty charm, Helms' stoic uptightness, and Galifinakis' outer-space musings work remarkably well together.

This makes them prime suspects in the murder. Will they manage to unravel what really happened? Drunken stories that involve a murder and a hazy memory of what really happened seems to be a storyline that is oft favoured by filmmakers trying to showcase a tale for the gen now.
Hangover, as the title suggests, is also one such. Unfortunately, the story lacks any punch and the twists are rather mundane to even evoke any sense of intrigue towards the plot. What ensures the film sinks even further down is the amateurish acting of the lead cast. Most of them lack the necessary emotions and seem to be reciting dialogues without any conviction. The film is well under two hours, but the lacklustre storyline and the flawed acting makes one feel like the film doesn't seem to end.
There are hardly any redeeming factors to the film. With no memory of the previous night's transgressions and precious little time to spare, the trio retrace their steps and discover where things went wrong. It's hard to review a movie like The Hangover in terms that are the most fitting. Words and phrases like "funny," "outrageous," and "awesomely inappropriate" are all well and good, but they don't get to the heart of the film like, say, drunkenly rating it "epic" out of five stars.
Such intoxicated creative sportsmanship can be hard to justify in the cold light of day, but don't worry, that fits with the movie, too. The story begins with Doug Justin Bartha , a thirtysomething guy who's getting married in two days.
