Genre: Comedy/Comedie

Annee/Year: 2009

Format: Blu Ray

The hangover. I actually had to upgrade my blu ray player to be able to play this movie BUT it was worth it. This comedy is definitely one of the funnier one from recent years. The film is directed by Todd Philips (Starsky and Hutch, School for scoundrels) and was a major block buster hit. As a matter of fact the sequel is in the works for 2011.

This movie centers on a fellow gettting married ( Justin Bartha) and his two best friends (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms) take him on a trip to Vegas along with his new flaky brother in law (Zach Galifianakis). The trip to Vegas turns into a horror story as they all forget what hapenned during the party night and the friend getting married is vanished. This movie is very well written as the team attempts to piece together the events from the past evening to recover their friend. Hilarious situations develop and the casting and play of the actors is perfect. Note a funny appearance of Mike Tyson himself.

The hangover est une des meilleures comedies des dernieres annees. Ce film de Todd Philips (Starsky and Hutch, School for scoundrels) est une reussite en son genre. Le script et la distribution sont géniaux (Justin Bartha, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis). L'histoire nous fait partager les événements autour du mariage d'un des membres du quatuor d'amis et du beau frère.
Les quatre partent pour un enterrement de vie de garçon à Vegas, mais tout tourne au désastre lors d'une nuit mémorable ou personne ne se souvient de rien... Le matin après, ils ne retrouvent plus le futur marri et le film est une reconstruction des événements hilarants de la veille. Génial et très très drôle. Le second film est déjà en tournage signe de la réussite de ce film. À noter aussi une apparence de Mike Tyson et de son tigre...Ce film n'est pas pour les trop jeunes cependant.
