Remember, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Except for herpes. That shit'll come back with you.
Past Todd Phillips film review:
Review
Doug (Justin Bartha) is getting married and himself and three friends, Alan (Zach Galifianakis), Phil (Bradley Cooper), and Stu (Ed Helms), head to Las Vegas for a bachelor party. Things quickly go awry and Alan, Phil, and Stu wake up the next morning with no memory of what happened the prior night and Doug missing. The trio have to reconstruct the events of the night and find Doug in time for his wedding.
The story is silly with many funny plot points. I enjoy watching the journey the trio go on to uncover the events of the previous night. The character development, while not nearly as good as Joker, is still pretty solid. My favourite aspect is perhaps the chemistry between the protagonists, which made the film much more enjoyable to watch. The supporting cast, which ranges from Ken Jeong’s flamboyant Mr. Chow to Mike Tyson, are also hilarious.
Conclusion
A funny adventure with good chemistry between friends.
