Plot 411: Four guys make the trek to Vegas to celebrate an impending marriage, get unbelievably drunk and must find the groom they lost on the day of his wedding.

Review: Any movie with Ken Jeong is probably worth seeing and this one doesn't disappoint. He plays a Las Vegas mobster who is locked in a car by four drunk dudes. The dudes are actually Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) who have snuck away to Vegas for a night of debauchery to celebrate Doug's impending marriage. Things get buck wild and three of the four wake up the next morning with the hangover from hell and complete memory loss. Doug is missing and they need to get him back home before his wedding that afternoon. This is an over-the-top comedy that includes pretty much any kind of gross gag, drug humor and sex quip that most guys would find hysterical. The last movie I can think of that is of a similar vein is Wedding Crashers. It's like boy's night out to the Nth degree captured on film. I found it to be crazy funny and definitely recommend it if you're in a buckaloose mood. As far as any critique on the wardrobe (I do believe they wore the same tore-up stuff the entire time they're in Vegas) and setting (Vegas, with and without lights), I can't really say I noticed much. I was too busy bustin' a gut.

Watch It: For the rockin' good time that most dudes probably dream of experiencing once in their lives.

Skip It: If you're in any way modest or prudish because there's a full male frontal in addition to a bunch of other offensive jokes, gestures and references.
