Matt Singer The Rumpus In the case of The Hangover, Phillips made a decent diversion, but no classic; like its heroes you'll have a good time, then forget most of it when you wake up the following morning. It's a movie, not a film. Sep 18, 2017 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online ... I went in to The Hangover with low expectations but ended up laughing more times than I thought I would. Rated: B Sep 12, 2017 Full Review Jordan Hoffman UGO 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. Rated: C Aug 11, 2009 Full Review David Griffiths Subculture Entertainment There is little surprise that ‘The Hangover 2’ is already in pre-production, this film is so good that it deserves to do well at the box office. ‘The Hangover’ is one of the funniest films of the year and is a must for those who love to laugh out loud. Rated: 4/5 Oct 29, 2024 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review Temporary and fading, it limits itself with its reliance on gross-out humor; once you’ve seen the depravity onscreen, the shock no longer exists, making its rewatchability nil. You’ll laugh a lot the first time you see it but see it only once. Rated: 3/4 Sep 4, 2023 Full Review Robin Holabird Robin Holabird Over at the Nevada Film Office, none of us staff members thought a little comedy with not-too- familiar stars would produce a Mike Tyson knock-out punch...

Esteban C i laughed so hard i almost cried, but replace cry with vomit!!! this was one of those movies you have to take as a grain of salt, simple as that! it was fun, it kept me wanting to solve the mystery of the night and it amused me how stupid the characters where. and, since it was its purpose, it delivered just that! not the best in the genre, or in general, BY FAR, but for what it was and for what is worth, it was an incredible watch :))) the love i got for phil is unbelievable!!! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Carter B. Super funny great movie overall Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/02/25 Full Review Gareth D Watched again in 2025, still ridiculously hilarious, over the top, Mike Tyson, a tiger and Ken Jeong is just brilliant. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/16/25 Full Review Horror fan 4 One of the greatest comedies of all-time. Tim Treakle Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/10/25 Full Review saul s Es de las mejores comedias que he tenido la suerte de ver Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/04/25 Full Review Jonathan J It was a banger of a movie Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 08/01/25 Full Review Read all reviews
