This was definitely a breakthrough performance for both Bradley Cooper (He's Just Not That Into You) as Phil and Zach Galifianakis (Out Cold) as Alan. It also features Ed Helms ("The Office"), Heather Graham (Boogie Nights), and Mike Tyson in solid performances.This was my second time to watch this film, and it was just as good as the first. A group of friends go to Las Vegas for a Bachelor party and get in a lot of trouble. The best thing about this film is that as soon as the party gets started you are flashed forward to the next morning. The groom is missing and they can't remember anything that happened the night before. They spend the majority of the movie retracing their steps. Which turns out to be more entertaining to watch, than if we would have actually watched the events in a straight forward fashion.
This was a very funny film, and if the Academy had any sense the writers Jon Lucas & Scott Moore would get some screenplay recognition, and Galifianakis would get a Golden Globe nomination for his comedic performance.
Crude but worth your time.
Vote: 8/10

This was a pretty good review, Mr. Larsen used the phrase "breakthrough performance" with the poise and delivery that Siskel would have in his prime. As usually he gave a good description without revieling any plot spoilers, never an easy task. He might have been a little over zealous with his assumptions on suggested awards for this movie, but Mr. Larsen felt strongly about "The Hangover" and wanted to deliver this message. This review recieves a 9/15 based on the "ATN Review of Movie Review's Rating System". More to come on this sophisticated rating system in later comments. Overall...Great Job Mr. Larsen, keep up the good work!
