4/5
"A comedy binge-fest you won't regret in the morning."
Cut Print Review
Anders Wotzke
A-
"
The Hangover
is a breathless stroke of comedic genius; one of those movies where, when it comes out on DVD and you have a bunch of friends over, you won't be able to watch just one scene."
FromTheBalcony
Bill Clark
4/5
"easily one of the funniest films of the year."
Filmcritic.com
Bill Gibron
B+
"Restores faith in Phillips and the vulgar passions of the R-rated comedy, assembling a smutty epic of irresponsibility that handles with a certain amount of routine, but still delivers huge on laughs and knowing cringes."

B-
"To its credit, "The Hangover" transfers to the audience the smelly, still inebriated state that the title promises."

1/5
"Comedies have rarely been as lazy as this, nor have they been so adamantly stupid."
eFilmCritic.com
David Cornelius
2.5/4
"It is easily the most unlabored comedy of the recent past. But seriously, how many times has a story like this been told?"
Cinemaphile.org
David Keyes
2/4
"...the movie suffers from a variety of problems that are ultimately exacerbated by Phillips' progressively desperate efforts at wringing laughs out of material that could hardly be more tedious."
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
C+
"Raunchy comedy about a bachelor party gone wrong."
Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
1/4
"A glib, drab, fatally unfunny study in mean-spirited mediocrity. Goes down about as easily as Benadryl spiked with tequila."
DustinPutman.com

B
"As gleefully dirty as Old School, and maybe funnier."
Cinematical
Eric D. Snider
0.5/4
"With The Hangover Todd Phillips has officially become the Uwe Boll of comedy."
eFilmCritic.com
Erik Childress
"Fear and loathing and douchebaggery in Las Vegas"
CinePassion
Fernando F. Croce
C
"Coarse but only intermittently amusing example of boys' night out...Among guy flicks this one comes in around the middle, neither unmentionably terrible nor particularly memorable."
One Guy's Opinion
Frank Swietek
"The filmmakers, like their characters, [are] just a bunch of asses, perpetuating the worst of society."
The L Magazine
Henry Stewart
3/5
"a cleverly vulgar comedy that manages to take a tired conceit and make it feel inventive and consistently funny"
Q Network Film Desk
James Kendrick
4/5
"Exactly the shot of drinking-age-and-up comedy the summer needs before the soda-pop PG-13 sticky-sweetness of summer blockbuster season hits."
Redbox
James Rocchi
"Parental Content Review"
Screen It!
Jim Judy
2.5/4
"As forgettable as a night of hard drinking, this frat-level comedy is good for a few laughs but never quite gels."
Big Picture Big Sound
Joe Lozito
"A fantastic blend of raunch and more cerebral, off-the-wall humor, this isn't a case of reinventing the wheel but shaping it so that it rolls pure."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews
John P. McCarthy
1/5
"You'd have to be drunk%u2026"
3BlackChicks Review
Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel
4/5
"My only complaint about The Hangover is that so many excellent moments were ruined by the preview. The Hangover, particularly Ed Helms, is very funny. Don't bring a family member and don't try any of this at home."
Cinerina
Karina Montgomery
3.5/5
"
The Hangover
knows its place and plays right to it. If you see this movie, you’ll probably be offended and definitely be disturbed, but you’ll also laugh quite a bit."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
B
"Director Todd Phillips ups the ante on his "Old School" antics in "The Hangover," a movie which solidifies the comic chops of Cooper and Helms and should make a star out of Galifianakis."
Reeling Reviews
Laura Clifford
"[T]hinks it's edgy and envelope-pushing, but there's nothing terribly risque or dangerous about it... [H]int[s] at possibilities far more dangerous than it ever dares go near..."
Flick Filosopher
MaryAnn Johanson
3.5/4
"The raucous, raunchy laughs are indeed plentiful and the gags often outrageous, but what really drives the film is the unpredictability of the script."
TheMovieReport.com
Michael Dequina
3.5/4
"The script is really a marvel of invention as it finds myriad ways to sink the characters deeper and deeper into the abyss, and this is where many of the film's biggest laughs come into play."
Aisle Seat
Mike McGranaghan
B
"A cheerfully outrageous comedy, with much of the humor coming from discovering with them just how appallingly they have violated every standard of appropriate behavior."
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
2.5/4
"Director Phillips wrings his scenario for consistent semi-dark humor, letting his odd-couple leads go for broke and wielding mystery as a comedic spur that keeps the proceedings from dragging."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
4/5
"O mais surpreendente é o cuidado com que o roteiro desenvolve seus três personagens principais."
Cinema em Cena
Pablo Villaca
1/5
"A film so completely stupid and hateful that you get the sense that it was financed by the Atlantic City tourism board as a way of besmirching the good name of their chief competition."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
3.5/5
"It's not very sophisticated, but this raucous comedy keeps us laughing with its sheer absurdity. The characters are very well-played and their interaction is genuinely hilarious, even if most of the jokes are pretty cheap."
Shadows on the Wall
Rich Cline
3/5
"There's a better cast here than there deserves to be."
eFilmCritic.com
Rob Gonsalves
B
"The jokes and sight gags are hit and miss, but the plot and characters are compelling and it has a lot of twists and turns that keep you guessing right up to the end."
Laramie Movie Scope
Robert Roten
7/10
"Raunchy and ruthlessly naughty, it's all buzz, no headache."
SSG Syndicate
Susan Granger
8/10
"Stands up
as a motion picture
in addition to working as a delivery system for gags... as fine a mystery and character study as it is a comedy."
Antagony & Ecstasy
Tim Brayton
3.5/4
"'The Hangover' is an outrageous, entertaining, laugh-out-loud classic from beginning to end."
