About this movie

From "Old School" director Todd Phillips comes a comedy about a bachelor party gone very, very wrong. Two days before his wedding, Doug (Justin Bartha) drives to Las Vegas with his best buddies Phil and Stu (Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms) and his future brother-in-law Alan (Zach Galifianakis), for a blow-out bachelor party they vow they'll never forget. But when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning with pounding headaches, they can't remember a thing. Their luxury hotel suite is beyond trashed and the groom is nowhere to be found. With no clue about what happened and little time to spare, the trio must attempt to retrace their bad decisions from the night before in order to figure out where things went wrong in the hopes of finding Doug and getting him back to L.A. in time for his wedding. But the more they begin to uncover, the more they realize just how much trouble they're really in. MPAA Rating: R This motion picture: © 2009 IFP Westcoast Erste GmbH & Co. KG.

Funnily enough, I'd never seen this film even though everyone else had seemed to... ...therefore I decided to rent it on here! I wasn't disappointed either! I didn't stop laughing throughout the film as it has just enough bits to make you laugh yet doesn't go over the top. The acting is very good, and the film is made believable too - they even got Mike Tyson and a tiger into the film! I'll definitely buy it, and I recommend it to anyone who wants a good laugh!

There's everything you would want from a comedy film. The characters are all fantastically written and acted. The story is very good, not just for a comedy but as a film in general. 10/10

Best comedy in a very long time. Well written and wonderfully acted with an array of different characters which makes it slick and clever. My favourite part is at the very end with the wedding singer, absolute genius and incredibly funny
