Review

A star rating of 4 out of 5.

Karen Krizanovich

In a surprisingly inventive comedy that doesn't rely on cheap, gross-out laughs, a stag do in Las Vegas for about-to-be-wed Doug (Justin Bartha) takes a turn for the unusual. This terrific romp from director Todd Phillips sees Doug's three friends (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis) wake up after the excessive night before with no sign of the prospective groom and no memory of the evening's events. What they do have is a wrecked hotel suite occupied by a baby and, more worryingly, a tiger. As the befuddled buddies go back over the trail of their wild night (which includes encounters with Heather Graham's stripper and Mike Tyson, playing himself), they soon discover how extreme their escapades have been. It's cleverly plotted and packed with believable dialogue and hilarious situations, which effectively blend the deadpan with the hysterical.
