The Hangover

If it was just slightly more over the edge, a bit more incorrect (although, as I read the reviews here, that would probably be too much for some of the softies), it would stink like socks worn for a week. In this way, it sometimes smells like the cheap perfume of "normal" crazy comedy. Phillips excellently balanced a genre spectacle with a few really off the wall moments, which make this into quite a memorable film (particularly the singing numbers take the cake). I was not amazed by the film, but I also did not experience any peristaltic quivers or disgusting vomiting. A film for all the real men. (01/16/2010)

Really funny and daring! Apologies to all my fellow moviegoers, as they probably couldn't hear anything over my laughter. Luckily we have subtitles here though... and it was really great in the original language. That's not true of the Czech dub. For those times when you want to cackle, cackle, and cackle. (10/29/2010)

An absolutely authentic documentary about a hard “day after" that we all know so well. The initial twenty minutes could have happened during the opening credits, but I am willing to forgive the authors a lot for what goes on during the closing credits. Even that during all that explanation they somehow forgot the chicken. Or is that leaving a back door open for a sequel? (06/17/2009)

Headache, watery stomach, vomiting, hitting kids, kids with tasers, erased memories, swearing, naked Asians, and photos! I have to go see it again to absorb all the jokes because I just couldn’t handle it the first time. You won't find anything more vulgar or funnier in the movie theater this year. Todd Phillips destroyed Kevin Smith in all his glory. (06/29/2009)

Genre genius Phillips got the absolute maximum out of the minimum. A silly premise of one big bender and the subsequent uncovering of its consequences was enhanced by the writers using seemingly unrelated gags and situations (as if they sometimes worked with an idea -> yeah, this is funny, let's cram it in) into a surprisingly cohesive and imaginative story that, if nothing else, doesn't bore, doesn't use overly raunchy or embarrassing humour, and finally pays such a sincere heartfelt tribute to alcohol that especially us Czechs and Slovaks have to nod in agreement and laugh.
