Laugh? Well, at least, on a tough Tuesday in Tube-meltdown London, one chuckled.

Consensus: With a clever script and hilarious interplay among the cast, The Hangover nails just the right tone of raunchy humor, and the non-stop laughs overshadow any flaw.

Reviews for The Hangover
Some very funny, very non-PC dialogue is thrown about like a game of catch. The actors, virtually unknown, are terrific.
06/12/09
One of the funniest films we've seen in many a moon.
06/12/09
Easily the funniest film of the year. A must-see.
06/12/09
Hugely enjoyable and frequently hilarious, this is a sharply written comedy with strong comic performances from a terrific ensemble cast.
06/12/09
It's not very sophisticated, but this raucous comedy keeps us laughing with its sheer absurdity. The characters are very well-played and their interaction is genuinely hilarious, even if most of the jokes are pretty cheap.
06/12/09
This is top stuff. There's all the carnage, baps and humiliation you could want from a 15-rated comedy but it's pegged around a smart plot that actually holds up. Take out the laughs, and The Hangover would still work as a gripping, if barmy thriller.
06/12/09
It kicks this sub-genre up a gear with an anarchic sense of fun and a consistently high gags-to-giggle ratio that knows when to push the envelop of taste and when to pull back a little.
06/12/09
Proudly inappropriate and buoyed by both a clever script and some obvious chemistry between the film’s male leads, director Todd Phillips’ comedy will play like gangbusters with men and may even attract some women who know and love knuckleheads.
05/26/09
The raucous, raunchy laughs are indeed plentiful and the gags often outrageous, but what really drives the film is the unpredictability of the script.
09/07/09
Leave the kids at home, round up a group of guys and head out to the theater for a good time.
08/30/09
Fear and loathing and douchebaggery in Las Vegas
08/25/09
O mais surpreendente é o cuidado com que o roteiro desenvolve seus três personagens principais.
08/22/09
The Hangover isn't painful to watch. If friends drag you to this movie, you won't hate them afterwards. But maybe it'll seem a lot funnier if you are drinking.
08/11/09
It is easily the most unlabored comedy of the recent past. But seriously, how many times has a story like this been told?
08/03/09
You'd have to be drunk%u2026
08/03/09
It is classless, it is tasteless, it is idiotic, it is juvenile and it is something your mother totally wouldn't approve of. But it also is flat-out hilarious.
07/17/09
My only complaint about The Hangover is that so many excellent moments were ruined by the preview. The Hangover, particularly Ed Helms, is very funny. Don't bring a family member and don't try any of this at home.
07/14/09
Easily, one of summer's more outrageous, funny comedies.
07/14/09
Galifianakis is a revelation of wrong.
