Over Christmas break I was able to rewatch one of my favorite movies, after winning many awards and being one of the highest grossing films of the year it was released, The Hangover was one of the most funny movies I’ve ever watched. The movie won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture, and the AFL’s award for the Best Movie of the Year. The film has lots of star power with actors like Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis who attracted many people to see the movie. The director of the movie, Todd Phillips introduce us to a man named Doug who is getting married over the weekend. However, Doug’s friends and his fiance’s brother have planned a bachelors party days before the wedding in Las Vegas. After a long night of partying Doug’s bachelor party finds themselves in the morning with a tiger locked in their hotel room bathroom, and a baby in their closet. With all this going on the “Wolfpack” is challenged on finding Doug because he had gone missing and none of the men had any recollection of the night before. A scene that I always love watching is when Stu (Helms), Phil (Cooper), and Alan (Galifianakis) are challenged with returning Mike Tyson’s tiger back to his house. Alan decides to try and drug the Tiger and says “Tigers love pepper, they hate cinnamon” this is one of the many examples of nonsense that many viewers and I found hilarious while watching the movie. I think this movie was very well put together, and found that the plot had me on the edge of my seat hoping that Doug would make it back for his wedding.
With all said, I found this movie to be phenomenal, the trio of Helms, Cooper, and Galifianakis may be one of the best casts for a movie ever. The three provide comedy throughout the movie and leave you wanting to watch the movie again. With quotes like “ It’s not a man purse. It’s a satchel, Indiana Jones wears one” I found it almost impossible not to be laughing throughout the whole movie. The story also emphasizes the importance of having a close family as we slowly start to see the “Wolfpack” of Doug, Phil, Stu, and Alan come together. Since this movie was so good I would rate this film GOOD GOOD, and would highly recommend watching this if you enjoy a crazy funny movie on how four men spend their night in Las Vegas. 
Nice review here, Matt! You've given a lot of great context and you credit those artists (especially the actors) and even go so far as to provide specific quotes that support your GOOD GOOD evaluation of The Hangover. Keep pushing that organization-- you can probably be more specific by using more than just two paragraphs. That first person is holding you back a bit too. You can call the movie phenomenal without having to say that "I found this movie phenomenal". Love the title in there too!
