Tri-City Herald
The plot climaxes in what could be the best credit roll outtakes in movie history. If not that, they certainly rank as one of the best-ever punch lines. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at Tri-City Herald
Entertainment Spectrum
Pushing the envelope unlike anything the industry has offered us this year; "The Hangover" provides the escape factor. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at Entertainment Spectrum

If I had enough money, I would be willing to pay anyone back if they saw this movie and did not like it. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at BDK's Reviews

You're likely to hear all about it as friends and co-workers endlessly quote lines or re-create scenes. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at Dallas Morning News
cinemaobsession.com (Jeff Otto)
Time will tell where this one falls on the comedy scale, but my initial impression is that this has a chance at classic status. I was pretty tired when I saw it and it still had me laughing throughout. I'm looking forward to a second viewing. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at cinemaobsession.com (Jeff Otto)
FromTheBalcony (Bill Clark)
The Hangover is a breathless stroke of comedic genius; one of those movies where, when it comes out on DVD and you have a bunch of friends over, you won't be able to watch just one scene. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at FromTheBalcony (Bill Clark)

It gets the job done thanks in large part to the breakout performance given by Galifianakis. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at Film Threat (--)

Helms, Cooper and Galafianakis are a great comedy trio with each one bringing a different element to the movie. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at WaffleMovies.com
Aisle Seat
The script is really a marvel of invention as it finds myriad ways to sink the characters deeper and deeper into the abyss, and this is where many of the film's biggest laughs come into play. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at Aisle Seat
State Journal-Register
Just as a marriage is built on love and promises kept, so can a bromance. "The Hangover" honors and cherishes that idea in slickness and stealth, and will have audiences unsure of how to say Zach Galifianakis but certain he's a star. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at State Journal-Register
Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
Now this is what I'm talkin' about. The Hangover is a funny movie, flat out, all the way through. Its setup is funny. Every situation is funny ...read the complete Hangover movie review at Chicago Sun-Times (Roger Ebert)
The Movie Kit (Kit Bowen)
While I'm not saying you have to be hungover to appreciate The Hangover, having a wild night out before seeing this the next day might enhance this hilarious experience. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at The Movie Kit (Kit Bowen)
Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)
Is there a joke more familiar and fagged-out than the bachelor party? Didn't think so. I dragged my ass to The Hangover like a man awaiting execution by cliche. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at Rolling Stone (Peter Travers)
Nolan's Pop Culture Review (Michael A. Smith)
...I think I can safely predict that "The Hangover" will join March's "I Love You Man" as one of the funniest films of the year. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at Nolan's Pop Culture Review (Michael A. Smith)
Variety (Joe Leydon)
The Hangover is surprisingly clever as well as R-rated rowdy. ...read the complete Hangover movie review at Variety (Joe Leydon)

I'm not the type of person to like these films, but this one was pretty good. Although, I don't think it was as great as most people. I do think that they really relied on Zack to make things funny in the movie. Without him, there would really ...

As the title says,where else is there to celebrate the last days of your single hood, then vegas, now if only you could remember what happened that night.. The Hangover, is brilliantly clever, with a great cast, and even better script that keeps you ...
by gd2525 on July 17, 2009 Blackwood, New Jersey
One of the funniest movies I've seen in the last five years. Every performance is funny and the story gets you invloved in what really did happen to the characters. Added in are strong side performances and a halarious ending credit sequence makes ...
by cicero0000 on July 16, 2009 Half Moon Bay, California
A male-fulfillment fantasy that tells straight men that they can get away with anything in Vegas and that the women who object aren't worth keeping around. Not my cup of tea, but I can't deny that the audience was laughing very ...
