This movie was stupid...not stupid funny, just stupid. After 45 minutes, my girlfriend and i both looked at one another and completely agreed that this was a waste of time. If you enjoyed movies like Pineapple Express or Strange Wilderness and found them entertaining and clever...then yeah, you'd probably enjoy this movie. If you value well written movies or genuinely good comedy, pass on this POS.… Expand

"The Hangover" is a brazenly brainless comedy that doesn't know what its doing. But guess what; that's why its funny.

An over rated, over anticipated movie. I didn't find this movie funny at all.

Funny with a hint of character progression, but the bro atmosphere, random events, and physical comedy, while executed well, become repetitive and boring halfway through.

standards are LOW .... the 'dumbing down' is almost complete ...... do NOT believe what the 'critics' say about this one ....... it is pretty HORRIBLE ...... the only half amusing thing in this film are the still photos that come up during the end credits ....... 3 out of 10 where i'd give 'pineapple express' 7 and harold and kumar 8.5 and something like 'dr.strangelove' a 10… Expand

Take the movie Dude Where's My Car, remove the plot, cast and humor. Then add hire some idiots with no acting experience to play the main cast. Add a common prescription drug which people hardly know anything about. And then you get The Hangover... A bunch of guys completely forgot what happened last night and spent the entire movie trying to figure it out. Extremely dull and unoriginal.

This is the most overrated mess known to man. Someone seriously needs to explain the Hype cause I dont get it. Its Stupid, Not funny at all. over rated to the fullest.

It shows how bad the movies are for THE HANGOVER to get this score. This movie sucks so bad I shut if off in the middle. I couldn't take it anymore. What were you all smoking when you went to see it? Crack?

I wanted to like it, I really did.

I sometimes wonder if i just watched the same movie as everyone else...it was quite possibly the worst film i have seen in years. dumbed down jokes, repeated scenes, terrible acting and poor storyline. I'm guessing it appeals to people who have been in this situation......

The movie contains a lack of humor rarely found in well reviewed comedies.

Devoid of wit or ingenuity. Relies completely on vulgarity and cruelty to be funny. I find vulgar and cruel jokes funny in doses, but an entire movie predicated upon them is just tedious. The fact that most of America seems to disagree with me on this point is depressing.

There are a few jokes that hit hard, but most of them are predictable. The only character that changed was Ed Helms'. And the ultimate question, where is the groom?, wasn't answered by anyone they encountered. Which made them all useless to the plot and cheap laughs. But the ending is so funny it's worth seeing anyways.

One of the best movies i've seen in a while, no particaular scene really stands out, just brilliant from start to finish.

Absolute garbage. The movie tried way too hard and never made any sense. I thought the plot would make for an interesting movie but the amounts of random garbage thrown at the viewer(way way random than one would expect at Vegas).. just felt over the top. I cannot possibly understand how people enjoyed this.

A few lines and sight gags that made you smile but this thing got old and predictable quickly. It seemed like a bunch of cliche ideas that were haphazadly stung together. Probably what you wind up with if you smoked a couple bowls, wrote down your unrelated thoughts, and tried to tie them together with a lame plot. If you must, wait until it rents and being 'high' when watching it could only improve it.… Expand

The funniest movie of the year by far. All I can say to America is that if you get this movie to make $150 million, then you will be forgiven for Paul Blart: Mall Cop.

Relying on cheap gag scenes and rarely on witty clever dialogue it gets old real quick and part of you keeps waiting for something hilarious to ensue.

Mostly trashy and stupid, with a few chuckles here and there. Juvenile and immoral types will like it.

The trailer looked great & the film surpassed my expectations. It was non stop laughs from start to finish as we discovered what happened that fateful. A great comedy movie that isn't a "lads" film & isn't just full of purile slapstick.

Oh what to say, this could be the best comedy of the year, everyone in the film is hilarious, and to top it off with mike tyson, everyone needs to check this film out, acting was superb, and the movie was just genuinely funny. Oh and make sure u stay after the credits, some of the funniest parts are in it.

Although I am a huge Zach Galifianakis fan (yes there are some of those) I came into this movie with pretty low expectations. I was extremely surprised by the movie as a whole. The writing and storyline were good, but the acting by Ed Helms, and particularly Zach G. (who carried the movie) was excellent. The entire theater was laughing throughout the whole movie. This was one of the best comedies I have seen in a while.… Expand

Hilariously funny movie with a brilliant cast. Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms were absolutely hilarious.

There has never been a statue made of a Critic.. and this is why..get a Real JOB and wake up from your Hangover.. how could you not find this Funny?

From start to credits, I laughed with few pauses. Where other comedies have failed, The Hangover doesn't treat the plot as a to-do list to run through after the gags are done, it keeps it fun and involved.

Really funny movie, I saw it twice in a 21 hour period and laughed throughout both times.

i thought this movie was absolutely hilarious, best comedy since old school

I loved this film -- clever, cool, vile, just plain wrong, but always funny -- saw it with my wife and she and I both loved it -- we want to see it again.

Lame. Shocks are not enough. How about some character development? And you don't have to be a critic to spot lameness. Sorry.

I'm a retired English professor and it's crazy, but I loved it! I used to tell my creative writing students to push their imaginations a bit further, and the scriptwriter of Hangover certainly did that. It's way beyond "R," but I have put this in my list of Guilty Pleasures.

Obviously, a real split in opinion on this movie. I guess some people don't enjoy laughing or think a comedy must be ever so tasteful or maybe just walk around with a stick up their a$$ and it hurts too much to laugh. Personally, I thought this was one of the funniest movies I've seen in years. I laughed out loud (along with eveyone else in the theatre) enough times that I lost count. Sure it was crude, but c'mon what did you expect when you saw a tiger, Mike Tyson and a baby in sunglasses in the trailers? Galifianakis, Helm and Jeong (Mr. Chow) were simply hilarious and the reveals became funnier as the movie went on. The credits tied everything together perfectly, contrived or not.… Expand

Pretty funny.

The funniest comedy I've seen in a very very long time!! I was laughing through the whole thing! Definitely worth your money.

Very funny. Vegas visitors that blackout due to alcohol will love this movie.

Very funny, the writing is excellent and cleverly pieced together. The cast is terrific, especially Ed Helms. Very well edited, good score, outstanding pace. One of the better comedies of the last few years.

VERY WELL DONE. The script was good. the acting was good and the entire movie was funny and thoughtout. There were no moment where youn wanted to get up and leave. This film is so worth watching.

This movie was hilarious. The situations were ridiculous and the characters were all crazy out of their minds on drugs. Watching the fallout of their antics is good old fashioned family entertainment.

I believe comedy is mostly about the performance, and the theori that is behind the performance. If you want those laughs where your brain tickles anyway (only comedy that does it for me). In this film I wasn't bored, and sometimes I even smiled of the comedy they presentet for me, but not once did my brain tickle. For me that is the art of comedy, too create moments where I actually laugh even if i try to resist. I don't give this low rating because I think the story is boring or the acting doesn't convince me. It simply didnt make me laugh. The movie could possible even have been funny on paper, but the result isn't. To be a little more spesific: the awkward moments arnt awkward, and the bizzarity isn't bizzar. Once again, I dont think this movie was broken already in the manuscript fase (maybe it was, maybe it wasnt), it might look like the performance from the actors and the directing is the blame for this not working. (excuse my bad English grammar, working on it).… Expand

This movie was so hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing!

I think this movie is one of the most hilarious of all time!

This was one funny movie. As the movie progressed, each scene became funnier and funnier. By the time the Chinese mobster was let loose from the trunk and unloaded on the three guys, I was howling. Later, when he tells the guys to suck on his Chinese Nuts, forget it. I was laughing too hard. The next day I tried to describe these scenes to my wife and I couldn't stop snickering. Just the memory alone got me laughing all over again. It was contagious. My wife started laughing along with me as I tried to tell her between laughs how the guy told everyone to suck on his Chinese nuts. And that was just two scenes that were out and out hilarious.… Expand

What are you talking about Kenny? The film adresses cliches used in it and avoids them in some parts, making for something truly original. By the way... it's freakin highlarious!!!!!

Not bad. not great either.... it's everything you'd expect after seeing the trailer. i was hoping for better since it got good reviews but it didn't wow me.... it was average entertainment with a couple laughs. it's basically like a 'dude, where's my car' redux.

This was the funniest movie thats come around in a long time. Finely cafted and superbly acted. It may not reinvent the genre but it firmly establishes itself as one of the funniest movies in the last 20 years.

Instant classic. I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard or so much in a movie (I know that sounds like a stupid critic's blurb, but it also happens to be true). Def worth seeing in a crowded theater. And in a unusual twist for a Hollywood comedy,it seems to have been written by someone with more than half a brain.

This was one of the funniest movies I have seen in a while. The end has a great twist that ties the whole movie together. There were very few parts that we kind of boring but the result was always an hysterical laugh!

not as great as the reviews would have you believe. its ok, funny in spots, but poorly constructed...more like a series of theme-related sketches than an actual story...2/3 of the second act could have been excised and the story would still have made sense. end credit sequence was a laff riot tho.

This movie made me laugh out loud a handful of times and was entertaining with party music and big budget production value but did not live up to the hype. I went with two friends, who both thought it was hilarious, but most of the jokes were over the top or taken from similar movies of this kind. The acting seemed a bit over done; however, Bradley Cooper in a black suit and aviators did not disappoint. Overall, I would say wait until the movie comes out on DVD, don't bother spending the $15 to see it in theaters.… Expand

I don't get it. I went to the movies expecting something as funny as Superbad. Maybe it's because I'm a girl and it's made for men, but it was boring, not funny and not surprising or original (the nerdy nice man going wild, the bored teacher learning the value of his family, the strange crazy dude, and the groom going missing). I don't get the phenomenon. Ok, it probably wasn't so bad, but all the positive reviews just make me go "REALLY?".… Expand

Tasteless, mean-spirited, not funny, violent. Can you tell I was disappointed?

The few funny bits aren't redeemed by the non-stop vulgarity and crassness. Will appeal most to demented junior high boys.

This was an absolute waste of time. The characters actions, of which we see very little, were not believable to the behaviors that they displayed the next day. There was no chemistry, the scenes felt forced and scattered as if there were a dozen frat boys trying to tell a coherent story. I don't think I laughed out loud once, each line was cliche and unoriginal. This movie was cruel and moronic and in no way clever or funny. I can't believe the amount of people who enjoyed this film, it breaks my heart that we will most likely see more films like this in the future.… Expand

The worst movie i have ever seen, truly abominable. i fear for humanity, the US in particular, given this films success. stupid--I never laughed once.

I'm still laughing!! The Hangover is the funniest movie I have seen in years, and not just what you see in the commercials like most comedies, but from beginning to end. You laugh until it hurts and then the end credits deliver the knock-out hilarious punch that will either make you pee your pants or give you laugh cramps. I can't wait to see it again to catch the stuff I missed laughing so hard!!… Expand

Pure hilarity from start to finish. It never tries to be anything beyond that, and it succeeds in its goal flawlessly. The critics who don't like this movie have no souls.

While funny and mostly entertaining, can't say I thought is was nearly as good as many of the others. Much of it was over the top and unbelievable. Want to see a better Vegas movie starring Heather Graham. Rent Swingers.

Excellent Comedy. Funny all the way thru unlike so many Will Ferrell & Adam Sandler coutless blah films. Well written, funny, excellent casting as well. Location is everything. Anyone giving below a 8 was in a foul mood going in, or just doesn't get what is good and what isn't.

This movie is unrelentingly funny. If you didn't like it you are a truly dull individual. Nowadays it's very difficult to top what has already been done and Hangover does just that. The bar has been pushed.

The funniest movie I have ever seen. It took no time for this movie to take off get up with a group of buddies and go see this movie.

This is the funniest movie I've seen since Superbad. Funny throughout, even into the credits. I just have one thing to say. If you go to a movie by the guy who directed Old School, then don't expect "emotional payoff" or "character development". Its a friggin comedy. Have a good time.

this movie was funny as hell, the end montage a perfect capstone to the heaping mountain of hilarity that is The Hangover.

Although "Hangover" turned out not to be the 10 my wife and I had hoped for, we found ourselves howling loudly at the many hilarious scenes. We are not fans of raunchy and vulgar movies, but this one at least kept most of the raunch just on the adult side of juvenile which made it not only a little more tolerable, but actually amusing. However all the enjoyable humor of the movie instantly dissolved, and every decent bone in our bodies was violated when disturbing pornographic images appeared along with the movie credits. Whether or not they liked the movie, every critic should have issued a warning about these images. Despite one critic writing, "you WANT to stick around for the credits ... and you don't mind one bit," the last thing we wanted to see was an explicit image of a woman performing oral sex. If it can be assumed that the majority of movie audiences who can tolerate some level of vulgarity, would welcome grotesque pornography, then we had better reexamine our values as a society.… Expand

It's easily the funniest movie of the summer.

Just not that funny at all to me and i can laugh at nearly anything i expected to die laughing throughout the film with its hype i chuckled three times maybe and mike tyson should have been paid more than the lead actors imo he was about the only good part.

A bit funny, a bit not.

The best comedy i have seen in years. I did not stop laughing until i reached my car. even the credits were funny! i recomend it from ages 14-40 because of the maturity level of the movie.

All the low ratings you see are most likely from geeks that don't understand comedy. This movie is funny from beginning to end. Like others have said, this is one of the funniest movies in years. This is like Old School part 2 especially with the Dan Band making an appearance. Go watch it if you wanna laugh out loud.

I see why people were so enthralled by this movie, but I guess the build up was to much for me. It had its funny parts, Zach and Ed Helms ere the highlights for me. I am not sure why Bradley Cooper has become such a staple in Hollywood. I get that he is a good looking guy, but really! He isn't funny, always seems pompous and hasn't made me laugh since Wet Hot American Summer. Lets hope more movies like Arrested Development (I can't wait) and Dialogue comedies rise in 2010!… Expand

I only went because a group of my friends asked me to. While they were busy laughing their heads off, I was groaning in horror at what is being passed off as comedy today. It was entirely shock factor humor without a hint of real talent, either by the actors or the writers. I only give this a 1 instead of 0 because it did manage to get a weak grin on my face every now and then (but this quickly disappeared by the time the next "joke" was uttered).… Expand

This movie made me laugh from the beginning to the end and I just don't understand how could it possibly have bad reviews, I just can't stop watchin it over and over and it didn't happen to me since "Fear&Loathin In LasVegas" wich was a bunch of years ago. Totally suggested.

Talk about hype. 3 of the 4 main characters weren't funny at all. Ed Helms keeps this from being a zero. Putting tigers in movies isn't funny in and of itself. And when I invited guys to my bachelor party I was actually friends with them. These guys seem like they met a few days before the party. This movie sucked.

I finally got a chance togo to this movie, after hearing how hilarious is was, and I must say, I was very disappointed. I enjoy ridiculous comedies as much as the next person, but this movie tried way too hard to make weird stuff funny. The Mike Tyson cameo was just plain stupid, and could they not get a better celebrity to do a cameo? Overall, certainly some funny parts, but this movie is not all the rage that some make it out to be.… Expand

Great movie with a hilarious plot, I just hope the idea of waking up from a hangover isn't overused...

An already classic comedy film. Marvelous fun!

I wanted to watch this movie since I've first saw the trailer. After I went to the cinema, I got right exactly what I was looking for. Absolute fun. The setup of "everything can happen in Vegas" opens almost endless possibilities, and this movie did it right. It was surprising, that while the movie kept up the constant fun, the plot was well-written, as it also kept you interested as the team tried to figure out what they did in an almost detective-mystery fashion, and the conclusion is crazy. I can highly recommend this movie, as it will make you want to have a party in Vegas.… Expand

Watched half of it, couldn't stand a minute more, just dreadful, vulgar and nothing funny about it.

The year's best comedy by far.

Stereotypical and obvious laughs. Overrated with few laugh out loud moments. Unmemorable and predictable.

I thought this movie was bad but not horrible, Zac Galifianakis was funny as usual but everything else was..well horrible. The dentist guy's wife was the queen of bitches for some reason. I mean did they make her the seed of Hitler to draw away from the horrible plot and actors? That must be it, kind of the opposite of comic relief. Well anyway the Chinese guy made me want to throw the remote at the screen, when he jumped out of the car and beat them up was just plain awful. I love crude humor and physical comedy as much as the next guy but taking a movie that has that kind of Big Libowski feeling to it and adding a stupid scene like that just made me want to puke. The guy pulling his own tooth out was absolutely terrible, the fact that they stole a cop car and it wasn't recovered before the next morning was completely unbelievable. Oh yeah its impossible to count cards on a multi-deck table too. After that scene i knew for sure that this movie is bent on amusing stupid teenagers and college frat boys. I laughed at Galifianikis quite a few times so he was basically the only reason i didn't give this movie a big fat zero. Thumbs down be watchable.… Expand

I wish there was a rating above 10 so the dumb people that vote 0 wouldn't bring this movie down. It is physically impossible to be any funnier. There is a reason that this is the #1 comedy of all time on the DVD charts.

I wish I had that 2 hours of my life back. Heard all year about how fantastic it was, finally rented it, and I agree with all the other posters here: vastly overrated, not the slightest bit funny, with unbelievably crude and ludicrous situations. I can find humor in raunchy movies like 40 Year Old Virgin or Superbad or Tropic Thunder, but this travesty has none of the charm or plot or character development of those films. One of the worst I've ever seen, and the closing credits will make you want to take a shower.… Expand

Hilarious movie.I must watch for Superbad and Knocked Up lovers. Zach Galifianakis has an amazing part in this movie as well as Ed and Bradley.

This movie rocks! Is very funny and as a viewer it makes you interested in the events that are gonna happen next. There is always something funny happening.

One of the best movies EVER!!!! I can't wait till it comes out on DVD, after seeing it in the theater.

Other than Zach Galifianakis, this one had no redeeming qualities. I don't see how anyone but boys 13 to 18 could relate to this.

One of the funniest comedies in the last 20 years. Don't listen to all the people who rated it a 0, they have no idea what "funny" is and are probably really uptight. I couldn't stop laughing throughout the entire film.

Hit and Miss comedy has a few moments that made me laugh out loud but for the most part it was pretty cringe worthy. Zach Galifianakis was definitely the saving grace though.

I loved what the makers of this film were trying to achieve, and in some places, it actually works, but in general it was a bit of a let-down and not as funny as it could have been.

It was ok, but only a few laughs. Watch Very Bad Things....much better.

Not funny. I wish it were. But I like 'Wedding Crashers' humor, which is crude and clever. The humor in 'The Hangover' isn't clever. It's all reactive. Even a good line like "you're dressed like a Cholo on Easter" from 'Knocked Up' is way way funnier than anything in 'The Hangover'. Nobody will ever quote this film, because none of the lines are funny. Mostly sight gags, situational mishpas, and pissing in public jokes. Don't get me wrong. I like crude, so long as it's clever. Galafinkis (whatever his name is) isn't funny. But being unfunny is his schtick, right? I mean he's intentionally not funny. This is SNL/'Hot Rod' grade humor. And there's barely any t and a in it. Also, the pacing is leaden. Poor Cooper is burdened with a lot of lame straight man lines that state the obvious. It's just not funny. Maybe you have to be in college. I don't know. I had high hopes. I'll go watch Wedding Crashers and Mr and Mrs Smith for the sixth time.… Expand

Overall a good movie, started off slow but sure gets going near the end. The credits iare the best part of the film. You wonder the entire time what happened in Vegas and you get the best part for last.

Hilarious movie is a must see for all who enjoy a good comedy. I personally will likely be going to see this again while in theaters and absolutely will be purchasing on blu-ray dvd.

If I could give this movie a 20 I would. Far and away the funniest movie I've seen in years. I haven't laughed this hard and consistently since Jackass 2.0 and Borat came out. I'm not sure how anyone could not rate this a 10!!!

Hilarious! spent the whole time laughing

it's irreverent and low brow, but there's no reason to expect anything else. Zach Galifianakis' character is one of the most memorable of recent years, and his one-liners are consistently hilarious. A flick I found myself wanting to see a second time the second that the last credits faded away.

Great movie. Completely hilarious and every moment is worth watching.

Seemingly being THE comedy film of the summer...I was excited going into this film because I found the trailers and TV spots to be hilarious, so I could only imagine what the entire film would be like...and it dosen't dissapoint. For the most part, this is your standard vulgar comedy that tosses out decency in favor of something far more crude...and often times these films work very well (if the Box Office performance is any indication). The story is simple...4 guys go to Vegas for a bachelor party, the most important one of the bunch turns up missing after a (very) wild night of partying, the other 3 go on a wacky "quest" to remember what happened and fine their friend. It's a very straight forward formula...but a perfect one in the sense that there is A LOT you can do with a premise like, and they don't waste a minute of it. It moves along very fast like a roller coaster of comedy and rarely lets up till the rather filthy conclusion in the form of pictures. Films like this are a lot of fun...any road trip film featuring a bunch of guys with good chemistry and seemingly the desire to get in a bunch of trouble is sure to be if anything, watchable...and The Hangover does this perfectly. The characters are interesting in the most obnoxious of ways and they DO come off like a group of buddies in over their heads in Sin City. That being said...this is a delightfully raunchy summer comedy with "likeable" characters and an excellent forumla that seemingly works and works. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.… Expand

I'm typically not one for the juvenile-n-sex jokes frat boy movies, but this one had me laughing from start to end. Sure, the plot is somewhat unrealistic, but the jokes actually surprise you. You haven't seen all the funny bits in the trailers - instead, you've seen the setups to the funny bits, and they take the joke in a different direction than you would expect. Warning though - some of the humour is a bit raunchy, I wouldn't feel great seeing it with my mum or kid.… Expand
