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.

WOMAN: Hi, welcome to Caesars. STU: Hello. WOMAN: Checking in? Yeah. We have a reservation under Dr. Price. LISA: Okay, let me look that up for you. Dr. Price? Stu, you're a dentist, okay? Don't try and get fancy. - It's not fancy if it's true. - He's a dentist. Don't get too excited. And if, uh, someone has a heart attack, you should still call 911. We'll be sure to do that. Can I ask you a question? Do you know if the hotel's pager-friendly? - What do you mean? - I'm not getting a sig on my beeper. - I'm not sure. ALAN: Is there a payphone bank? Bunch of payphones? Business. Um, there's a phone in your room. That'll work.

So I have you in a two-bedroom suite on the 12th floor, is that okay? It sounds perfect. Actually, I was wondering if you had any villas. - We're not even gonna be in the room. - It's unnecessary. No big deal. We can share beds. It's one night. If we're share beds, I'm bunking with Phil. - You good with that? - No, I'm not. Guys, we are not sharing beds. What are we, 12 years old? Lisa, I apologize. How much is the villa? Well, we have one villa available, and it's 4200 for the night. - Is it awesome? - It's pretty awesome. - We'll take it. Give her your credit card. - I can't give her my credit card. - We'll split it. - Are you crazy? No, this is on us.

You don't get it. Melissa checks my statements. We just need a credit card on file. We won't charge you until check out, so you can figure it out then. That's perfect. Thank you, Lisa. We'll deal with it tomorrow. Come on.

Hey, guys. Look, free almonds. - Oh, no, no, no. Please put those back. - Wait, I'm just hungry. - Well, I know, but... - Stu, what the fuck? It's a pressure-sensitive plate. When you pick it up, you have 30 seconds to put it back... ...or they bill you. ALAN: That's pretty neat. STU: It may be neat, but it's also very expensive, so... Those almonds are probably, like, $14.
