The Hangover (Parts I, II & III) ★★★

The Hangover trilogy serves as a microcosm of the comedy genre's potential and pitfalls. It showcases how a simple premise, when executed with verve and wit, can resonate widely, yet also cautions against the lure of repetition. Despite the diminishing returns on laughter, the trilogy holds a special place in the hearts of those looking for an escape into the riotous, unpredictable world of the Wolfpack—a testament to the enduring appeal of friendship and folly.
