Hangover (2009)
The Hangover is a comedy film released in 2009. It tells of the crazy but funny adventures of 3 men as they try to find a groom-to-be before his wedding.
It was the tenth-highest-grossing film in the year of its release. The American Film Institute also named it one of the top 10 films of the year. However, it does not stop there. In addition to racking up praise and recognition, it stole the spot of Beverly Hills Cops as the highest-grossing R-rated comedy in the U.S.
With its success, it should not be surprising that the fans wanted more, and more is what its fans got. In 2011, a second movie came out, while a third got released in 2013.
The 12 Best Movies Like The Hangover
If The Hangover trilogy was not enough to tickle your funny bone, you do not need to worry. We have 12 movies for you to check out today. Without further ado, let us get to know our first film.
1. Tag (2018)
English 1h 40m IMDb
Director: Jeff Tomsic
Stars: Jeremy Renner, Ed Helms, Jake Johnson
Let us get the reel rolling with Tag. Tag takes inspiration from a true story published in one of the most famous daily newspapers – The Wall Street Journal.
Like The Hangover, it is about a group of old guys chasing another guy. The only difference is, this is literal. Our group here in Tag has been playing the game since 1983. While all done in the name of fun, these men take the game seriously, and we mean seriously.
Seriously enough all kinds of fun chaos and mayhem happen before, during, and after the wedding of their only never-been-tagged-yet member. If that is not serious enough, then we do not know what is!
Tag is undoubtedly one of the best conceptualized comedies out there. Do you want some silly scenes and a story? Tag is a film you want to consider.
2. Horrible Bosses (2011)
English 1h 38m IMDb
Director: Seth Gordon
Stars: Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis
Next up, we have Horrible Bosses. This film is a black comedy film. Like The Hangover, we have 3 men here who embark on a crazy mission. However, instead of looking for a fourth man who went missing, the guys here are on a mission to kill their bosses.
How it all goes down? Well, we are not in the business of giving out spoilers around here. You will have to see it for yourself!
The film might not have the most original storyline. However, thanks to its cast members and their performance, it was mostly well-received by the critics and the audience.
It is one of the highest-grossing comedies today, and it has racked up tons and tons of recognition. If you want a black comedy to add to your list, this one is one to consider.

Next up, we have an oldie but goodie. Let us talk about Dumb and Dumber, one of the best movies from the 1990s. This film is a buddy comedy. While it lacks the third guy compared to The Hangover, it also features friends going on one wild adventure for a wacko mission.
If you are all for the waggish wrong turns and amusing aftermaths of The Hangover, our film here is one you want to check out.
