The Hangover (2009)

Dana and Tom discuss one of the most celebrated comedies of the 21st Century which is celebrating its 15th anniversary this week, The Hangover (2009): directed by Todd Phillips, written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, music by Christophe Beck, starring Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Mike Tyson, Heather Graham, and Ken Jeong.

Plot Summary: "The Hangover" is a raucous comedy that transforms a bachelor party into a riotous odyssey of misadventures. Directed by Todd Phillips, the film opens with four friends heading to Las Vegas for a night of celebration, only to wake up the next morning with no memory of the previous night's events. What follows is a frenetic quest to piece together their fragmented memories and locate their missing groom.

"The Hangover" is more than just a series of outrageous gags; it's a cleverly constructed comedy that finds humor in the extremes of human behavior. While it may not delve into profound themes, it excels in delivering sheer entertainment, making it a memorable entry in the genre.
