The Hangover

The Hangover is a modern day comedy that is based on a group of young guys headed to Vegas for a bachelor party, Turns out, some people just can't handle Vegas.
The movie had 3 main characters. Alan, Phil and Stu. As they all venture off for there buddies bachelor party, they find out that they just cant handle Vegas. They end up loosing they're buddy Doug, and he is the only reason why they are all in there in the first place. Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, and Heather Graham star in a hilarious comedy from Old School director Todd Phillips
In this modern day comedy they use many different aspects of writing to make the movie seem more intriguing. The use of fowl language keeps you awake and laughing. They chose the right actors as they all fit into the setting and positions quite well. If they all didn't really care to be acting the film would have been more slow moving and not as interesting. In the film they try and use modern day ideas and acts that some people would actually try and do or use in life today. They may seem some what far fetched, but there are some people that would act this way.
The film Old School and the Hangover were both written by the same person. They are both identical. Most people that have been talking about the two say The Hangover is basically a sequel to the film Old School. The movies have the same baseline, meaning they both try and get the same message across, just using different tones, and different lauguage types.
Overall the film was great. I think that most people that had spent the time and money watching it were satisfied. I think that they could have sent the message while keeping the language down a little bit more but it seems these days that just adds the cherry on the cake.
