The Hangover


An honest confession first. The review might be a bit biased since i am an absolute teetotaler myself and it may be very natural for me to not be able to relate to the incidents. But what the heck..
The movie had everything. Smooth Timing, Gripping script, Witty one liners, Nice chemistry, Starry Cameos, everything. I mean every checkbox was ticked. Dont know why but there was something that didnt work for me. May be the build up was too much. Every single person who had already seen the movie called or messaged me and said.. Freak, How come you havent seen it as yet, go and watch it.. Its Awesommmme.. In different words and accents, But the essentially FEEL was the same.. So as i was entering the theater i already had very high expectations and nothing short of Awesommmme would have impressed me and Exactly thats what happened. The movie is pretty amazing otherwise and has all the ingredients for a perfect comedy.
As far as the story is concerned, nothing needs to be mentioned as the name itself suggests that its about.... surprise!!!. A Hangover. 4 friends go for a bachelor party, get drunk and wake up to find out that the person who is supposed to get married tomorrow is not to be found, but a Tiger in the washroom!!! And then, starts the process to find out what happened last night in order to ascertain where their friend is. And THATs where the chemistry and the mystery is unfold.
Performance wise, Zach Galifianakis just beats the other 3 hands down. He is just tooo cool. Heather Graham's role is a total waste and dint even deserve to be in the movie. Mike Tyson's cameo is just not funny at all. But i think the movie should be seen for the chemistry between the four friends rather than individual performances.
Overall a pretty decent watch and in case you have had a Really Bad hangover anytime in your life. You are just gonna LOU it. Go with friends. Forget about Office, Relax, Sit back and Enjoy the fun.
Feel-o-meter : 7.5/10
