About
As of 2026, it's 17 years old.
The Hangover became a runaway phenomenon in 2009 with a brilliantly simple hook: a bachelor party in Vegas goes so catastrophically wrong that the guys wake up with no memory of it, a missing groom, a tiger in the bathroom, and a baby — and have to retrace the night they can't remember. The mystery structure made the raunch genuinely propulsive.
It launched careers, a franchise, and a thousand 'what happens in Vegas' imitators, with a wolfpack toast and a missing tooth along the way.
Outrageous, clever, and endlessly quoted, The Hangover is the comedy that turned 'we don't remember last night' into a genuine detective story.
