The Hangover- surprise hit of the summer?

I first saw the trailer for this film a few months ago and thought it looked funny but nothing special. However buzz from screenings has been building and it looks like it may be a major hit.

Here's the trailer:



Here's some comments WArner reported from a screening in Toronto. There's a lot of them and pretty consitent. It looks like I'll have to put up a slide before the movie starts telling the audience there's something in the credits and not to bolt at the first sign of a credit.

At the bottom is funny little promo clip from Funny or Die. Hopefully the embedding works better than the last time I tried. The link below the player should work.

Some comments from the “HANGOVER” screenings Thursday, May 21(from Tribute contest winners across Canada) (there are about 90+)
Generally very very good!
================================================================================================== ====

It was so funny that I kept on laughing the whole way throuh. I definitely would recommend it to anyone. Loved it and I would watch it again in the theatres

This movie was awesomely funny and outrageous! The character that really added to the movie was the guy with the beard...don't we all have one of those in our lives?

very funny!

I was surprised by The Hangover - it turned out to be much better than I expected. Funny situational humor - at one point, it seemed impossible to resolve all of the loose ends, but it happened. Would recommend this.

This is one movie u actually have to stay to the end to see what really happens, absolutely loved it thanks again for the passes, Joyce

Yes, by far the funniest movie this year...not very often the whole theater is laughin. I may have to see it again as I was laughing so hard i may missed some jokes..

It was one of the funniest movies I have seen in years. We definitely have to see it again and will be recommending to all our friends.

So funny!!!

Worth going to if you want to have a good laugh. Loved the tiger and the whole story line. Some parts were x-rated, but on the whole, a very enjoyable and funny movie.

I laughed harder than I have in a long time - I was not disappointed!!! I have not stopped bragging about it to friends at work.

extremely funny, haven't laughed that hard in a long time

It was good. Really funny. More different from the other movies in it's genre than I expected. I did think the final scene was more graphic than it needed to be. They still could've got the point across with even half of the nudity in the photographs... or even none of it.

I thought it was pretty funny! Great cast and ridiculous storyline! Great laughs all around!

This movie was excellent. It was a lot of fun. The story is very well done. You don't know what to expect all along. Merci! Thanks for the free movie

This movie was hilarious. Every story had some kind of twist to it. I laughed so hard throughout the entire movie.

very funny and relaxing movie very nice

Super funny movie! Saw the advance screening and I'll probably watch it again once its released into theatres!

Some parts were funny, however, some parts of the movie were pretty dumb, I guess it will appeal to a very certain demographic.

Hilarious...had me laughing out loud, often. A little bit of a slow start..just to get the characters in place..then non-stop off-the-wall comedy!

Above average comedy. A lot smarter than Dance Flick, but that is to be expected.


The comedy built and built so that we laughed so hard my husband said it was a "Pee yourself funny movie". Everyone stayed to see the photos during the final credits and we were still laughing as we drove home.

I did not have high hopes for this movie, but it was hilarious. Some of the gross humour probably could have been left out, but it's worth seeing the movie if you want a good laugh. This movie is for anyone who thought Weekend at Bernie's was a scream.

It was very funny.

Quite funny

This was one of the best movies I have seen in a while. It was very funny, I especially loved the ending where they were showing the pictures.

The film was generally funny although there were some parts that dragged a little. I was very pleased during the film that it didn't take the "low road" by including lots of gratuitous sex and nudity for the sake of ratings. This was true unitl the closing credits when the photos of the lost night were shown. Out came the photos of strippers and oral sex. Very disappointing.

Crazy fun, I recommend this moving to every one who needs a good laugh!

Not laugh-a-minute, but the comedy is pretty even throughout. It's better than amusing and in the words of my brother, I wouldn't mind seeing it again or owning it on DVD.

A surprisingly funny movie about a plan to go awry gone awry. Very enjoyable.

This movie was absolutely hilarious, by far the funniest movie I have seen in a long time. The theatre was constantly filled with laughter. An excellent movie, and I would definately see it again!


Very funny. Wish they would have taken more time scrolling through the pictures at the end though.

Very funny . A kind of movie to forget life problems .

I enjoyed this movie immensely; it was hilarious and unpredictable. Each of the main characters' personalities played a role in the hijinks that these friends got into. Look for a significant cameo by Mike Tyson, and don't expect the chicken to be explained!

It was awesome, I enjoyed so many parts of this movie! Especially the tiger parts! haha!

It was hilarious, entertaining and long over due!!!!!!! I do not remember when last time I saw a good SUMMER type movie was.

In a world of murders, muggings, job losses, etc., it was a relief to watch a movie and be transported to a world of funny stuff. Thanks.

It had funny parts. The baby and tiger was awesome.

Hello, I really like this movie. Very funny and cleverly made especially since you only see waht really happened at the very end .

really funny. I liked how you only find out at the very end what truly happened in Vegas. One scene that was not really necessary was the one where they have the baby doing you know what... but other than that I enjoyed this movie very much. Thank you for choosing my name

Great Movie! Thoroughly enjoyed it. Light hearted, feel good movie. Put a smile on my face.


I went to the see the movie with my husband with not too high expectations but to our surprise we never laughed so much. Each actor portrayed their part so well. The story line was so interesting...trying to remember and retrace their steps to what happened in only 1 night was totally hilarious. Of course, the line What happens in Vegas...totally appropriate. I already recommended this movie to my co-workers. P.S. Baby is really adorable.

Thought the movie was very funny. Loved the little baby. Truly, enjoyed going.

when I first saw the preview for this movie I thought nah, it's just one of those stupid funny comedies. I have not laughed like that I'm a long time. It kept laughing throughout the whole movie!

very funny

I thought the movie was definitely one of the best I have seen in a while. It was remarkably funny, and it made me and my friend laugh alot. I thoroughly enjoyed it and I will most definitely be recommending this movie to all of my friends.

Incredibly funny! The story was non-stop twists that kept you laughing. Each scene was funnier than the last. Ed Helms from the Office played such a hilarious part...definitely a must see for any friends who've experienced one of those rough crazy nights!

I thought it was funny and quite believable considering the myths about Vegas!! lol

Pretty good!

It was the funniest movie I see in years. 5 stars


Very funny, laugh out loud movie. The fact that the guys have no memory of what they did the night before makes it unpredictable. Funniest movie I have seen in a while!

Very funny, I couldn't stop laughing. I am going to tell my friends to see this movie.

Pretty hilarious movie!

the movie is hilarious. Men hanging over with a baby with differents problems... Strongly recommended.. you won't waist your money at all

I expected it to be all Juvenile teenage boys jokes but was pleasantly suprised at the comedic content.

This movie is absolutely hilarious. Just when you think it can't get any worse, it does. It will have you rolling in the aisle with laughter. Truly, an enjoyable and fun movie to see.

Some very funny moments in the movie. My son enjoyed it more than I did. Maybe more a movie guys can identify with.

I had read that the movie tested very well and in advanced screenings and that the studio had already ordered production of the sequel, so I thought that I might be seeing a hidden gem. I found, however, that there were very few hearty laughs during the course of the movie and the most entertaining part came at the very end.

It has some funny parts - and was what I expected. Overall a good rental but I don't know if I'd come out and pay to see it in theatres.

the funniest film we have ever seen in 71 years!!


great movie!! very funny and the characters were fantastic! would pay to go and see it again!!

The Hangover is the funniest film I have ever seen in my 71 years, we went expecting not much, and laughed through the entire time, the film never lets up--you have a real winner here! Thank you so much for an hysterical evening. We are still laughing about it today!

Very funny movie! I think it will be good summer entertainment.

The most hilarious movie I have seen in a long time.Laughs from start to finish.

This movie was the funniest things I have seen in a LONG time. I laughed out loud until I cried. Actors were fabulous and movie was well directed. Good job guys. I would love to buy the DVD when it comes out to see all the bloopers. Just NON STOP laughing all throughout. I can't even pick my favorite moment because it was all too good!

This was the funniest movie that we've seen in a long time. It had surprise after surprise and you never knew what to expect next! Even the passing off of the tuxedos on the road was reasonable, but still unexpected! I would highly recommend this as a must-see and my boyfriend said after the movie that he would want it in his selective DVD collection.

Very funny. Although the premise has been done before, this was handled well, with just enough vugarity and filth to keep it interesting. The slideshow at the end was hilarious.

Laughted myself silly , had to wipe my eyes a few times . Please send me another pass to see it again .

Hilarious. Couldn't stop laughing. I had been looking forward to this since the first time I saw the trailer and it did not disappoint. Would recommend this to anyone that loves laughing. Mike Tyson singing? Nothing funnier. Will definitely purchase this DVD.

I find it great. The idea is original and we can not predict in advance what will happen. The guys are hilarious, I'm sure everyboday will enjoy this movie.


We thought this was a very funny film and I will not be hesitating to go see it again when it comes out June 5th.

We really enjoyed the movie and everyone was laughing from start to finish. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to see The Hangover. I will recommend to my family and friends. :)

It was good entertainment. There were plenty of laughs, not necessarily where you were doubled over with laughter, but it never dragged.The best part was how the characters kept leaping from one crazy situation to the next. The movie is not appropriate for children due to the extensive nudity.

I thought it was funny

My wife and I were lucky enough to view an advanced screening of this film and it was a riot! One of the funniest movies I've seen in a long while. Zach Galifianakis was hilarious from his first scene until his last. Not to say that the rest of the cast didn't do a bang up job, each were just as funny in their own right. Wolf-pack forever!

The cast, the plot,the trailer, what more can be said ! This is definately goin' to be a blockbuster,laughed my you know what off during the trailer.Really can't wait for this one,love a good comedy and this will for sure top the all time best list !

The movie is really good and funny to see. It's so cute. I suggest to go to see it. It's a good investment

HILARIOUS! The pictures at the end were the best!

The movie was funny with no political messages which I enjoy. A super summer movie that a lot of people both young and old will enjoy.

It was much better than I had expected it to be and I am so glad that I won tickets from Tribute. I will definitely be recommending this movie to my friends. Thanks, Tribute!

This was a super funny film. Its not very often that you laugh so hard that you can't stop. It touched all the right notes without being offensive. Was a great night out and I would recommend it highly for an evening of pure humour.

Hilarious and awesome

The movie was just what I needed that day! It was fun and one of the funniest movies I've seen in a long time. The hilarity just never stopped. And the audience was great too - adding to the fun with great infectious laughter! I'd recommend it to anyone!
