The Hangover
“Some guys just can't handle Vegas.”
When three friends finally come to after a raucous night of bachelor-party revelry, they find a baby in the closet and a tiger in the bathroom.

Launching a frantic search for Doug, the trio perseveres through a nasty hangover to try to make it to the church on time.
