The Hangover (2009)

It's the 10 year anniversary of this classic film and it's now on Netflix for a while.  Win/win.  This movie ushered in a stream of R Rated comedies, but it is really more of a mystery movie about "Where's Doug?"  Three buddies, Doug, Stu and Phil along with the new brother in law to be Alan go to Las Vegas for a bachelor party.  But when they wake up the next day, they are missing Doug who they need to get back for the wedding and they can't remember any of the events of the last night.



So they have to piece things together:  A trashed hotel room, a baby, a tiger, a missing tooth, a missing car.  And it all comes together, eventually.

A huge box office succcess, spawning 2 terrible sequels.  But this original is a nicely crafted movie that gets you rooting for the otherwise unlikeable characters.
