Review
Its been awhile but this is definitely one of the best comedies for this year...The whole movie,I was going either my "what the fuck" expression or I was just laughing out really loud.I must say this is definitely Todd Phillip's best work.The direction was simply fantastic.Editing was good and so was the cinematography.But what really makes this movie tick(le) is the script and the acting cast.The scene stealer is easily Zach Galifianakis.Every time he is on screen,he will just make you laugh so hard or just groan cause of what he just did or said.The lines he says and the perfect comedic timing he has will definitely make him him a bigger star soon.I remembered Zach Galifianakis when he was doing this tv series called Man bites Dog (which media corpse copied it calling it The Noose or some shit like that) and just like this movie,he was such a joy to watch.The 3 main actors have really fantastic chemistry and comedic timing,you would really think that these guys were really best friends or some shit like that.now the storyline would probably make u remember of the shit you used to do when you had or went to a bachelor's party or even just a party where you and your friends just get so smashed and go ape shit till you can never remember what happened the night before.And that's what got me interested in this movie in the first place.Another good thing about this movie is by the near end of this movie,you will be dying to find out what else did these guys do during the whole night...and when you finally do get to see what they did,you are bound to go...OMG!!! or just laugh like fuck.I totally recommend everyone and their friends to go watch this movie even on a weekend.The women may or may not totally get this movie but the guys will definitely will.Enjoy!!

Best Quotes
Black Doug: I always wondered why they were called roofies. Cause you're more likely to end up on the floor than the roof. They should call em floories.
Alan Garner: Or rapies.

Stu Price: [singing passionately] What do tigers dream of when they take their little tiger snooze? Do they dream of mauling zebras, or Halle Berry in her Catwoman suit? Don't you worry your pretty striped head, we're gonna get you back to Tyson and your cozy tiger bed. And then we're gonna find our best friend Doug, and then we're gonna give him a best friend hug. Doug, Doug, oh, Doug, Dougie, Dougie, Doug, Doug! But if he's been murdered by crystal meth tweakers, well then we're shit out of luck.

Phil Wenneck: You're not really wearing that are you?
Alan Garner: Wearing what?
Phil Wenneck: The man purse. You actually gunna wear that or are you just fuck'n with me? Alan Garner: It's where I keep all my things. Get a lot of compliments on this. Plus it's not a purse, it's called a satchel. Indiana Jones wears one.
Phil Wenneck: So does Joy Behar.

Doug Billings: Tracy did mention we shouldn't let him gamble. Or drink too much.
Phil Wenneck: Jesus, he's like a gremlin. Comes with instructions and shit.

Stu Price: She's got my grandmother's Holocaust ring!
Alan Garner: I didn't know they gave out rings at the Holocaust.

a freakin AWESOME movie. and i thought i was gonna miss it. it was hilarious and a breath of fresh air compared to teh Seth Rogen's brand of comedy which has been prevailing recently.

Ive to agree its a 'MUST WATCH'. lots of satire, and too many quotes from teh movie that's soooo memorable.
