The Hangover

Director Todd Phillips struck gold with puerile teen romp Road Trip in2000. He’s essentially still making the same film but the characters and situations have aged at roughly the same rate as the audience.

The Hangover sees a group of friends suffer amnesia after a hedonistic stag night in Vegas. They must piece together events from random clues, retrieve the groom and try to get to the wedding in one piece. Needless to say the laughs revolve around bodily functions, nudity and injury but it’s a fairly decent two-hour diversion to everyday life.
