With a Todd Phillips film you pretty much know what you’re going to get. So reviewing one of his films is a pretty simple (and short) business. In The Hangover, four friends travel to Vegas to celebrate one of their parties impending marriage. Numerous drinks later, they wake up to find a trashed hotel suite and the groom missing. The rest of the film involves the remaining three friends getting into numerous scrapes as they try to find the groom and discover what happened the night before. All the minus and plus points of Phillips’s previous films can be ascribed to this latest effort. On the plus side, the acting is decent, the storyline is (knowingly) ludicrous and there are a few laughs to be had. On the minus side, well, there are only a few laughs to be had, and there is a truly appalling and unfunny Mike Tyson cameo. The target audience will lap this up, but people looking for more character engagement should check out something like I Love You, Man instead.
The OC Film Sting Final Verdict
Do you like Breast-feeding, vomiting and saggy arse gags? It's the film for you! If not, best look away now. Rating: 5/10.
