Had a big one last night (most probably in your PJs in the lounge)? Despite trying all the methods to prevent your hangover, you're still being thrust into a dark, quivering place where all you desire are puppies and someone to tell you everything is going to be OK?
Your hangover film should (ideally) be something you've seen many times before, because the chances are you'll fall asleep through most of it. It needs to be something that doesn't require much concentration as you lounge in your semi-comatose state, so steer clear of brain-hurting, mind-bending Inception-type watches. That is not what you and your hangover need right now.
Comedies are a good shout, as are rom-coms, chick flicks and sad movies. Personally, we can't think of anything better than watching (read: drooling over) Channing Tatum in Magic Mike or even as dumb-but-endearing police officer alongside Jonah Hill in 21 Jump Street.
Most of all, a hangover movie should make you feel warm and fuzzy when you're feeling at your most vulnerable: consider a film from your childhood, perhaps. How about Disney? You can sign up to Disney+ now and get access to over 1,000 Disney shows and films in an instant. Surely Toy Story is the hungover dream? Tom Hanks's dulcet tones could cure even the most savage of hangovers, we're sure of it.
If it's a comedy you're after to soothe your hungover soul, look no further than this Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum classic with Brie Larson and Ice Cube (we mean, c'mon, what a cast). A pair of pretty useless police officers are sent back to high school to go undercover and infiltrate a drug ring.
Approach this one with caution: watching Magic Mike hungover could be the perfect, hunky antidote you need, OR it could just make you sad you're not dating Channing Tatum. P.s Here are 113 thoughts we had while watching Magic Mike Live.
Raiders of the Lost Ark is comfortable watching and it'll remind you of your childhood, AKA hangover perfection. It also doesn't hurt that Harrison Ford is one of the sexiest movie characters of all time.
The Devil Wear's Prada is a film where you can slob out in your pjs while watching Andrea Sachs (played by Anne Hathaway) scrub up in Saint Laurent. It's also got some epicly scathing quotes to enjoy.
Again, this sad movie will hit you straight in the feels. It sees Will (Sam Claflin) paralysed in a motorbike accident and intent on assisted suicide before his carer Lou (Emilia Clarke) walk into his life and determined to prove to him that life is worth living. Kleenex at the ready.
It was barely a month ago when we saw the first teaser trailer for The Hangover, the hilarious new Las Vegas comedy starring Zach Galifianakis, Bradley Cooper, and Ed Helms. But lo and behold, they've already debuted the second full trailer today, and it kicks it up a notch. I saw this yesterday in Vegas at Warner Brothers presentation during ShoWest and had a great time laughing at it. This is probably the funniest trailer I've seen this year, next to Observe and Report, but it really is hilarious and I can't wait to see this, even though I thought at first I wouldn't like the concept. Everyone needs to watch this trailer, just do it!
The Hangover is directed by comedy veteran Todd Phillips, of Road Trip, Old School, Starsky & Hutch, and School for Scoundrels previously. The screenplay was co-written by writing partners Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, of the comedies Rebound, Full of It, Four Christmases, and the upcoming Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. Warner Brothers is bringing The Hangover to theaters everywhere on June 5th this summer.
The Hangover was released way back in 2009 but is still considered to be one of the best modern comedies and one of the funniest movies of all time. Its two sequels, obviously, could not come close to the original's success but were still quite successful.
Luckily for comedy fans who are looking for similar movies, there are many other movies to watch that are just as funny or almost as funny as The Hangover. Some of them even share themes and cast members which could make the watching even more enjoyable.
This Is The End could be considered a very successful experiment in some way. This apocalyptic comedy tells the story of a party hosted by James Franco where different celebrities gather before the apocalypse begins.
The cast doesn't actually play themselves but rather the fictionalized versions of themselves which is even more hilarious. Some of the cast members include James Franco, Seth Rogen, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Emma Watson, Rihanna, Paul Rudd, Channing Tatum, Kevin Hart, and many others.
Just like some of the protagonists in The Hangover, the main characters in Wedding Crashers aren't very lucky with women. Yet, they prefer to enjoy their single status and decide to make the most out of it.
The story follows three friends (played by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis) who are sick of their overbearing bosses (played by Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston, and Colin Farrell) and decide to murder them.
Step Brothers is one of those movies that has a premise that could very well play out in reality which makes the movie both funny and scary to an extent. It treads a similarly absurd line to The Hangover in the sense that both of the main characters are cartoonish man children like Alan.
Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly star in the title roles as two fully grown men who still live with their parents and are then forced to live together as stepbrothers after their parents decide to marry.
Though it has been criticized time and time again, many people still admit to liking American Pie. Even on Rotten Tomatoes, the critics' consensus reads, "So embarrassing it's believable, American Pie succeeds in bringing back the teen movie genre."
Like The Hangover, Superbad is often considered to be one of the best comedies of the 21st century. Indeed, the dialogue in the movie is very well-written and the chemistry between all the actors is outstanding which only adds to the movie's quality.
The story follows two high school friends, played by Jonah Hill and Michael Cera, who decide to party and lose their virginity before they graduate. But as they try to execute their plan, a series of unfortunate events make it harder and harder to achieve their aim. Like The Hangover, the movie has a suprisingly linear adventure plot for its laidback style of comedy, with the story often breaking out into wild escapades.
The Hangover is currently available to stream, rent, and buy in Poland. JustWatch makes it easy to find out where you can legally watch your favorite movies & TV shows online. Visit JustWatch for more information.
