Some of you will be familiar with “the hangover” but if you want to feel better about your recent weekend mortifications then check out this movie. The Irish premiere of The Hangover took place at the Savoy last week and with stars such as Heather Graham and Brad Cooper in attendance and an after party to boot I’m sure there were a few sore heads around town the next day.

From the director of OLD SCHOOL comes a new comedy about a bachelor party gone horribly wrong. Two days before his wedding, Doug (Justin Bartha) and his three buddies (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis) drive to Las Vegas for a blow-out night they'll never forget.

But when the three groomsmen wake up the next morning with pounding headaches, they can't remember a thing. Their posh hotel suite is beyond trashed and the groom is nowhere to be found.

With no clue of what happened and little time to spare, the trio must attempt to retrace their bad decisions from the night before in order to figure out where things went wrong and hopefully get Doug back to Los Angeles in time for his wedding. However, the more they begin to uncover, the more they realize just how much trouble they're really in.

A very funny movie it’s in cinemas now!
