The Hangover is by far the funniest movie I’ve seen this year. It’s one of the funniest movies of all-time. It’s right up there with The 40 Year Old Virgin as my favorite comedies. I don’t think I’ve ever so hard in my life. It’s so good, I saw it 3 times in the theater. I now have it on Blu-ray.

The film is about a group of friends (and they’re the 3 best friends that anyone could have!) going on a trip to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. Phil is a teacher, Stu is a dentist (paging Dr. Faggot!), Doug is the one getting married, and Alan is Doug’s fiance’s brother. The guys start partying in Vegas and wake up in their room hungover. They awake to several strange things in their room. For example, a tiger is in their bathroom (tigers love pepper, they hate cinnamon), a baby (he’s jacking his little weenus) is in their closet, and they can’t find Doug anywhere. The premise of the movie is Phil, Stu, and Alan trying to find out what happened. Their adventure takes them to a wedding chapel, Mike Tyson’s house, and a run in with a naked Chinese man (toodooloo, mother fuckaaaaaaaaaaas).

I can’t stress enough just how funny this movie is. It is the single most quotable movie in the universe. Yeah, the universe. I always do a favorite quote at the end of every post, and I’m doing one here, but almost every line in this film is my favorite, so I’ve included some as I go along. Zach Galifianakis totally stole every scene he was in. He is one of the funniest characters of all-time. Yes, all-time.

Favorite Performance:
Zach Galifianakis as Alan Garner

Favorite Quote:
Stu Price: What do tigers dream of when they take their little tiger snooze? Do they dream of mauling zebras, or Halle Berry in her Catwoman suit? Don’t you worry your pretty striped head, we’re gonna get you back to Tyson and your cozy tiger bed. And then we’re gonna find our best friend Doug, and then we’re gonna give him a best friend hug. Doug, Doug, oh, Doug, Dougie, Dougie, Doug, Doug! But if he’s been murdered by crystal meth tweakers, well then we’re shit out of luck.
