Two days before his wedding, Doug and his three friends drive to Las Vegas for a blow-out bachelor party they’ll never forget.

For some reason, they find a tiger in the bathroom and a six-month-old baby in the closet of their suite at Caesars Palace. The one thing they can’t find is Doug.

Watcher Reviews:
Pushing the envelope unlike anything the industry has offered us this year; “The Hangover” provides the escape factor. Prepare for the wild ride!
The director and his screenwriters have come up with the funniest film to appear in ages. It avoids the predictable crudity and silly laddishness (well, almost) you’d expect, and delights with zinging one-liners and charming performances.
‘The Hangover’ is an outrageous, entertaining, laugh-out-loud classic from beginning to end.
