The Hangover - 4 out of 5

I just came back from 'The Hangover' this evening and was thoroughly impressed with the movie. It has definitely lived up to its enormous hype, and although mentions of 'Old School' and 'Wedding Crashers' were not over-mentioned in comparison, it's a movie with similar taste but paves its own unique, almost dark humor along the way to inevitable success.

If you have ever been acquainted with Zach Galifianakis' comedy, perhaps along side Will Ferrell and his Funny or Die tour, then you will appreciate the odd and seemingly random bits that he provides in the movie. To supplement your need for more red bearded laughs visit his website, www.zachgalifianakis.com, and watch the music video he made for Kanye West's 'Can't Tell Me Nothin' (or follow this link). Then check out this link to his promotion of 'The Hangover' with co-star Bradley Cooper.

As good as Zach was in the film, accumulating laughs every time he was present, Ed Helms did a great job in his toothless performance. He was especially good because he took some good qualities from his character on 'The Office' but was able to separate the two roles to allow you to be genuinely funny.

Overall I give the movie 4 out of 5 for a comedy that will keep you laughing till the last credit roles (make sure you do stay until the full screen credits begin)
