The Hangover is a breath of fresh air in a year of lacklustre and disappointing comedies, brash but vapid blockbusters and solid reworkings. It gives fans what they may have felt was lacking in the unexpectedly cold Seth Rogen/Judd Apatow entry Funny People, and guys in particular will probably associate with the whole road-trip-to-Vegas-for-a-stag-do recipe for disaster. The fairly unknown cast bring us some new characters to love/hate and the surprises and gags in store with this trio are particularly engaging on first viewing. On US Region Free Blu-ray the movie comes with surprisingly good video and decent if unexceptional audio, together with a bunch of solid if insubstantial extras. Fans will seriously be tempted to add this to their collection and it would be highly recommended for newcomers to at least rent this gem. Im sure it may not be to everybodys tastes, but its your best shot at a good laugh this year.
