From director Todd Phillips and a core crew of Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis, THE HANGOVER (2009) was honored in the year of its release with an AFI AWARD, recognizing it among the most outstanding motion pictures of year. According to the official rationale, “THE HANGOVER will have you rubbing your head in the morning and wishing you hadn’t had so much fun. Director Todd Phillips and screenwriters Jon Lucas and Scott Moore have created an anthem to arrested male adolescence that is unashamed, unapologetic and unbelievably funny. Though what happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, THE HANGOVER brought laughter to a world when it needed it most and deserves a toast for its mastery of the comedic form, one of filmmaking’s most challenging feats.”
