Running time: 99 mins.

A stag night goes hilariously awry in The Hangover, the new comedy from Todd Phillips, writer-director of Road Trip and Old School.

Two days before he walks down the aisle with his beautiful bride, Doug (Justin Bartha) heads for the desert strip of Las Vegas with his three best buddies, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis).

Several hours of heavy drinking and wild partying ensue, and in the morning Phil, Stu and Alan wake with pounding headaches and no memory of events of the night before.

A trashed hotel suite and the presence of a mystery baby are the first signs that something is dreadfully wrong — the absence of the groom-to-be comes a very close second.

As the three friends hazily retrace their alcohol-fuelled steps, they begin to understand quite how much trouble they are in and how unlikely it is that they will be able to get Doug to the church on time to say “I do”.
