Overview
In the wildly chaotic world of The Hangover (2009), an American comedy film, two days before his wedding, schoolteacher Doug Billings (Justin Bartha) heads to Las Vegas with his soon-to-be brother-in-law Phil Wenneck (Bradley Cooper), a carefree high school teacher, uptight dentist Stu Price (Ed Helms), and oddball future father-in-law Alan Garner (Zach Galifianakis) for an epic bachelor party at Caesars Palace. What starts as a promise of tame fun spirals into blackout debauchery after Alan spikes their roofies-laced Jägerbombs, leading to a night of unremembered madness. The trio wakes up in shambles – Stu missing a tooth, Phil with a hospital bracelet, Alan sporting a baby in the closet, a stolen tiger in the bathroom, a chicken clucking around, and worst of all, Doug vanished.
Racing against the clock to find their missing groom before his wedding, they piece together clues involving a Vegas stripper Jade (Heather Graham), a stolen cop car, a heart-of-gold escort, and a furious Mike Tyson demanding his tiger back, all while dodging gangsters like the wild Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong). Blending mystery, raunchy humor, and bromance, the film uncovers escalating absurdities from blackjack wins to roofie-fueled regrets, culminating in a rooftop revelation that cements their unbreakable bond.
Directed and co-produced by Todd Phillips with producers Daniel Goldberg, Thomas Tull, Jon Jashni, William Fay, Scott Budnick, Chris Bender, and J.C. Spink under Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, this 100-minute romp was made on a budget of $35 million. It exploded at the box office, grossing over $467 million worldwide ($277 million domestic), becoming the highest-grossing R-rated comedy ever at the time and the 10th highest-grossing film of 2009. Critically acclaimed with a 78% on Rotten Tomatoes, it snagged the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, plus MTV Movie Awards for Best Comedic Performance (Zach Galifianakis) and Best Crash Scene, and People’s Choice nods.
