DVD & Blu-ray: The Hangover

The Hangover, a comedy from director Todd Phillips about a bachelor party gone wrong in Las Vegas, is out now on DVD and Blu-ray

The Hangover DVDOne if the surprise hits of the summer was The Hangover (Warner Bros.), a comedy from director Todd Phillips about a bachelor party gone wrong in Las Vegas.

When three groomsmen (Bradley CooperEd Helms and Zach Galifianakis) lose their about-to-be-wed buddy (Justin Bartha) after a riotous night of partying, they have to retrace their steps in order to find him.

Along the way, they encounter a tiger belonging to Mike Tyson, a stripper (Heather Graham), a naked man in the trunk of their car and numerous other troubles.

Although on the surface this looks like another goofy mainstream Hollywood comedy, it rises well above the norm due to a clever central concept (the bachelor party itself is cleverly hidden from the audience) and some killer lines and scenes.

Made for a relatively small production budget of $35 million, it proved insanely profitable after grossing over $459 million worldwide.

  • 2.40:1 Anamorphic Widescreen
