November 25, 2009 /India PRwire/ — Re-live the bachelor party gone wrong when The Hangover releases on DVD on November 25 with the rest of the world. The Hangover has created over Rs. 2200 crores Box-office revelry worldwide, making it the biggest comedy film of all-time and has been the most anticipated DVD release of the year.

The Hangover is a laugh-out-loud comedy about three groomsmen and their journey to retrace their steps from a downright crazy Vegas night in hopes of finding the missing groom. Two days before his wedding, Doug drives to Las Vegas with his best buddies for a blow-out bachelor party they vow they’ll never forget…only they did. When the three groomsmen wake up the next morning with pounding headaches, their hotel suite is trashed and the groom is lost. With little time to spare, the trio attempts to retrace their bad decisions from the night before to figure out where things went wrong in the hopes of finding Doug and getting him back to L.A. in time for his wedding.

The film stars Bradley Cooper (Wedding Crashers, He’s Just Not That Into You, Yes Man), Ed Helms (TV’s The Office), Zach Galifianakis (What Happens in Vegas), Justin Bartha (National Treasure: Book of Secrets) and Jeffrey Tambor (TV’s Arrested Development).
