The Hangover movie franchise consists of three comedy films released between 2009 and 2013. The series begins when three friends wake up after a raucous night of bachelor-party revelry with a missing best friend, Doug, and launch a frantic search. Subsequent entries follow the crew to Thailand for Stu's wedding where nothing goes as planned, and later feature a road trip where there is no wedding and no bachelor party. These films connect sequentially through the main characters and their misadventures. Watching the entries in release order allows viewers to experience the films in the exact sequence they were released.
