The Hangover

My newly added blog topic will be all about movies under the category of comedy. To start off for my first blog, I'm going to talk about The Hangover, starring Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, and Ed Helms. This movie is about 3 friends who decide to throw the best friend’s bachelor party in Las Vegas. After a wild and crazy night, the 3 friends wake up with the worst hangover ever. Come to find out, their best friend Doug (Justin Bartha) goes missing. All morning they try to remember what happened the night before. Throughout the rest of the movie, they try to find clues and go back to places where they thought they might have been before. During this time they encounter characters such as Mike Tyson, Ken Joeng, Heather Graham, Mike Epps and Rob Riggle. In the end, they find their best friend and they have to make a mad dash back home to get to the wedding on time. After watching this movie, I recommend it to anyone who wants a good laugh.
