Hangover Blu-Ray Review

Well we all know the movie is hilarious and definitely a solid A rating as far as comedies go. But here is a first for me and as far as I know for the site, we are doing a Blu-Ray review of a movie.

Most comedies are not Blu-Ray worth and this is true. But for someone such as myself since I have a Blu-Ray player it is sometimes like buying a Dvd is like buying aVhs tape. Not to say that up-scaling doesn't make dvds look sharper, but if you have the best why buy the last model?
I'll tell you why, not every movie is Blu-Ray worthy.
The colors in The Hangover make it a welcome addition to Blu-Ray. The colors stay bright and the black levels are good and not pixilated. If you have a player and you can find this movie for $15-20 on Blu-Ray I say go for it (I bought my copy at Best Buy and they matched their online price of $15.99)!

If you have the dvd you really aren't missing out on much. The special features are pretty weak and the gag real was about the best part. The missing 100 photos were a big let down. I laughed at a few but most we already saw at the end in the credits. As far as the Unrated edition goes (the regular dvd is rated and the special edition is unrated like the Blu-Ray) you really can't tell a difference. There is no additional raunchiness or nudity or really any noticible difference.

Final Verdict: C

If you need to own the movie (like most of us do) feel free to pick up a copy, Actually I encourage you to do so even if you haven't seen it. As far as the Blu-Ray goes, if you have a player and can get a good deal do so. If you don't, don't worry because you aren't missing out on much. In fact I would advise you pick up the rated dvd and save yourself some jingle this busy holiday season.
