Raunchy, well-executed, outrageous fun, "The Hangover" will make mega-millions for Warner Brothers and a star of Bradley Cooper. Like "Wedding Crashers" before it, "Hangover" takes an off-kilter look at a common American nuptial custom. This time it's the bachelor party, when three friends of the groom wake up in a Las Vegas hotel room without their groom and with no memory of what happened the night before. And while there's no groom, there is a tiger in the bathroom and a baby in the closet. The trio must re-trace their steps, figure out where they misplaced the groom and how they acquired said tiger and baby. The back stories, characters they meet, and twists and turns keep you laughing. And the ever-approaching wedding hour keeps up the suspense. It's not a great movie, but it sure as hell is funny. Rated R. 100 minutes.
