Hungover over 'The Hangover'

Still hungover and raving about this delirious and nutty comedy. Three men, one Vegas night, that's enough to get your stomach roaring. Celebrating their friend's last days of bachelorhood, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) & Alan (Adam Galifianakis), set out to give the best bachelor party to the soon to be wed Doug (Justin Bartha). In the midst of their adventure they lose track of events & awake with no memory of the previous night. Soon after which they come to realise that the groom is missing. In an attempt to retrace their steps and find Doug, there unfolds a series of misadventures that lead them to one revelation after another of what transpired. Alan's eccentric yet innocent character outshines the rest of the cast, despite his attempts to emulate Phil. The suave and know it all, Phil, is bemused by Alan, who's recurring attempts to impress his new friends are met with condescention. Stu, the nerd, living under the oppressive regime of his girlfriend, experiences a sense of emancipation with this short but self-annihilating journey. Each character paints a vivid picture (with the exception of Doug) of the different perceptions of life and surviving it.
