- 100PremierePremiereThis is a movie where you WANT to stick around for the credits. The beauty is that you are totally set up for it, and you don't mind one bit. That final sequence ties the movie together in an awesome fashion.
- 90The Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenThe Hollywood ReporterMichael RechtshaffenA piercingly funny, twisted "whatever-happens-in-Vegas" caper.
- 90VarietyJoe LeydonVarietyJoe LeydonAt once raucously free-wheeling and meticulously contrived, picture satisfies as a boys-gone-wild laff riot that also clicks as a seriocomic beat-the-clock detective story.
- 88Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertChicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertA funny movie, flat out, all the way through. Its setup is funny. Every situation is funny. Most of the dialogue is funny almost line by line.
- 88Rolling StonePeter TraversRolling StonePeter TraversThe Hangover ain't art, but Phillips has shaped the hardcore hilarity into the summer party movie of all our twisted dreams.

- 75Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanEntertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanOverall it's more amusing than hilarious.
- 75Miami HeraldRene RodriguezMiami HeraldRene RodriguezThe Hangover remains unrepentantly irresponsible and hilarious throughout, culminating with what could be the funniest montage ever to grace a picture's end credits. The summer's first sleeper hit has arrived.
- 75Boston GlobeTy BurrBoston GlobeTy BurrIt's a worst-case-scenario of bachelor party morning-after, and it is howlingly funny.
- 70Village VoiceVillage VoicePhillips can't bring himself to push the material into truly outré territory, or to characterize his growth-impaired guys as degenerate creeps rather than lovable scamps.
