Most great comedies are based on fundamental truths - we find a deal of humour in the illumination of our own human tragedy. Like how Office Space is funny because we've all worked that type of dead-end job, put up with that type of boss, and suffered that type of monotonous everyday boredom. The Hangover, aptly titled, does exactly that - in strides. It's also funnier due to the fact that the plot works backwards, without tacky flashbacks, and much of everything is left for the viewer's imagination. All in all, genuinely one of the funnier comedies in my recent memory. 8.8/10.
