Synopsis: Four friends to go Las Vegas to celebrate the bachelor's party of one of them, getting married two days later. They wake up in the morning with no memory of the previous night and the groom is nowhere to be found.
Review: The 2009 hit that has altready generated two sequels. The basic concept (memory loss after a wild night) is prone to comedy, and has already been used at least in Dude, where is my car? The movie is pretty funny to watch with friends. Of course like I previously wrote about Dodgeball with Ben Stiller, you have to like this kind of dumb humour, which is here gross in addition. There is not much to say about the technical qualities of the movie: it is just a succession of crazy scenes as we follow this wolf pack tryig to recover their memory and find their friend.
Rating: 7 /10
