The Hangover

The Hangover is a 2009 American comedy film directed by Todd Phillips and written by Jon Lucas and Scott Moore. It is the first installment in The Hangover trilogy. The film stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Heather Graham, Justin Bartha, Ken Jeong, and Jeffrey Tambor. It tells the story of Phil Wenneck (Cooper), Stu Price (Helms), Alan Garner (Galifianakis), and Doug Billings (Bartha), who travel to Las Vegas for a bachelor party to celebrate Doug's impending marriage. However, Phil, Stu, and Alan wake up with Doug missing and no memory of the previous night's events, and must find the groom before the wedding can take place. Lucas and Moore wrote the script after executive producer Chris Bender's friend disappeared and had a large bill after being sent to a strip club. After Lucas and Moore sold it to the studio for $2 million, Phillips and Jeremy Garelick rewrote the script to include a tiger as well as a subplot involving a baby and a police cruiser, and also including boxer Mike Tyson. Filming took place in Nevada for 15 days, and during filming, the three main actors (Cooper, Helms, and Galifianakis) formed a real friendship. The Hangover was released on June 5, 2009, and was a critical and commercial success. The film became the tenth-highest-grossing film of 2009, with a worldwide gross of over $467 million. The film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy, and received multiple other accolades. It became the highest-grossing R-rated comedy ever in the United States, surpassing a record previously held by Beverly Hills Cop for almost 25 years. The film was followed by two sequels: The Hangover Part II (2011) and The Hangover Part III (2013). Both were commercial success, but neither were well-received critically.

...that's somebody's daughter up there. - I was just gonna say that. See? I just wish your friends were as mature as you. They are mature, actually. You just have to get to know them better. PHIL: Paging Dr. Faggot. Dr. Faggot!

Come on, just till Barstow. Everybody's passing us. Absolutely not. I promised Sid. I will be the only one driving this car. Besides, you're drinking. Oh, what are you, a cop now? You know I drive great when I'm drunk. True. Don't forget, Phil was always our designated drunk driver. Yeah. You wanna explain it to them, Alan? Guys, my dad loves this car more than he loves me, so, yeah. Aw, whatever. I left my wife and kid at home so I could go with you guys. - You know how difficult that was? - That's really sweet. - Yeah. - Dude, I was being sarcastic. I fucking hate my life. - I may never go back. I might stay in Vegas. - Here we go. Doug, enjoy yourself, because come Sunday... ...you're gonna start dying just a little bit every day. Yeah. That's why I've managed to stay single this whole time, you know? - Oh, really? That's why you're single? - Yeah. Cool. Good to know.

Don't even look at it. Go on, get out. You heard me. Don't look at me, either. Yeah, you better walk on. - He's actually kind of funny. - Yeah, he means well. ALAN: I'll hit an old man in public.

Is he all there? Like, mentally? I think so. He's just an odd guy. You know, he's kind of weird. - I mean, should we be worried? - No. - All right. - No.

- All good with Melissa? - Oh, yeah. Told her we're two hours outside of wine country, and she bought it. You think it's strange you've been in a relationship for years... ...and you have to lie about Vegas? Yeah, I do. But trust me, it's not worth the fight. Oh, so you can't go to Vegas but she can fuck a bellhop on a Carnival Cruise Line? Hey. Okay, first of all, he was a bartender. And she was wasted. And, if you must know, he didn't even come inside her. And you believe that?

It says here we should work in teams. Who wants to be my spotter? I don't think you should be doing too much gambling tonight, Alan. Gambling? Who said anything about gambling? It's not gambling when you know you're gonna win. Counting cards is a foolproof system. It's also illegal. It's not illegal, it's frowned upon, like masturbating on an airplane.

[CHUCKLES] I'm pretty sure that's illegal too. Yeah, maybe after 9/11, where everybody got so sensitive. Thanks a lot, Bin Laden.

Either way, you gotta be super smart to count cards, buddy, okay? ALAN: Oh, really? - It's not easy. Well maybe we should tell that to Rain Man... ...because he practically bankrupted a casino, and he was a retard. What? He was a retard. Retard.
