Finally a good quality embed of the second trailer to “The Hangover.” It’s not radically different from what we’ve already seen, besides a first look at Heather Graham, but Todd Phillips’ (2003’s “Old School” is a pièce de résistance of aughts comedy) new comedy looks fantastically funny.
As we’ve written about a lot, Phillips seemed to have lost his way after “Road Trip” and “Old School” (“Starsky & Hutch,” “School for Scoundrels” were decidely ungood), but he looks like he’s returning to form with this comedy which boasts a stellar cast. It stars Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper (“Wedding Crashers”) as three best friends at a wild Las Vegas bachelor party who lose the groom just hours before his wedding. The film also stars, Heather Graham, Ken Jeong (of the Apatow family players), Gillian Vigman (“Step Brothers”) and Jeffrey Tambor has been rumored (we still haven’t seen him).
Bradley Cooper was severely underrated “Wedding Crashers,” and Helms and Galifianakis have hopefully already established themselves as masters of silly comedy. “The Hangover” is due in theaters June 5, 2009. We can’t wait. It’s one of our most anticipated comedy of 2009.
