Today on Blu-ray - December 15th
Posted December 15, 2009 10:12 AM by Josh Dreuth
Anytime you hear the words "bachelor party" and "Las Vegas" in the same sentence, you know that something crazy is about to unfold. A countless number of Hollywood films and trashy daytime talk shows have told the tales of things gone wrong when bachelor (or bachelorette) parties get out of the control. Add in Las Vegas, a city that hasn't been in control since the mob moved in, and you typically get a collection of hilarious misadventures and wrongdoings. Director Todd Phillips used that concept to capture what can only be described as one of the funniest things-gone-wrong adventures to ever hit theaters. After a record-breaking theatrical run, Warner Brothers today releases 'The Hangover' on Blu-ray.
