Absolutely the funniest movie I have ever seen!
16 July 2009 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

The Hangover was hilarious! I was never never bored, and it was the funniest move I have ever seen! The characters were hilarious and the actors were very well chosen for the part. My favorite was the dude with the beard! He was awesome! The plot was also very interesting. It always kept my attention and I was even nervous for the ending. I have never heard so man funny and interesting comments in one movie. I definitely recommend watching this movie. I will for sure be buying it the day it comes out! I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to laugh. It was extremely hilarious and is great for anyone over the age of 13! Go see this movie it was absolutely awesome!
