	Media	Author	Review
		FilmAffinity	"The Hangover" was an unexpected and huge success at the USA box office, ranking #1 at the comedies -R rated- of all time in USA.
		Roger Ebert rogerebert.com	"The Hangover is a funny movie, flat out, all the way through. Its setup is funny. Every situation is funny. Most of the dialogue is funny almost line by line. (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Richard Corliss Time	"Even Galifianakis's pervy charm, and a deeply weird cameo by Mike Tyson, can't save The Hangover. Whatever the other critics say, this is a bromance so primitive it's practically Bro-Magnon."
		Desson Thomson The Washington Post	"As Goofball Comedy, 'Hangover' a Refreshing Sip of Man's Foibles. (...) is the male un-romcom. (...) Sitting through "The Hangover" is like watching "Memento" featuring the Three Stooges."
		Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"The Hangover ain't art, but Phillips has shaped the hardcore hilarity into the summer party movie of all our twisted dreams (...) Rating: ★★★½ (out of 4)"
		Owen Gleiberman Entertainment Weekly	"The Hangover has scattered laughs, but overall it's more amusing than hilarious"
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"Though the film falters toward the end, The Hangover is a side-splitting adventure you'll still be laughing about the morning after (...) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
		Joe Leydon Variety	"[It] is surprisingly clever as well as R-rated rowdy. At once raucously free-wheeling and meticulously contrived, pic satisfies (...) Lenser Lawrence Sher does an excellent job"
		Michael Rechtshaffen The Hollywood Reporter	"A piercingly funny, twisted 'whatever-happens-in-Vegas' caper"
		Simon Braund Empire	"A furiously paced, inventive and flat-out hilarious take on a tried-and-tested formula (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"I left the cinema grinning sheepishly at having laughed so much (…) Rating: ★★★★ (out of 5)"
		Dana Stevens Slate	"[In its] amiable, sophomoric, how-low-can-you-go way, [it is] pretty fun"
