This about sums it up for me
OK, I mentioned that Judd Apatow was nowhere in sight on this one, but surely we can feel his influence here. Director Todd Phillips seems to have had Apatow films like "The 40 Year Old Virgin" and "Knocked Up" in mind when he decided to update his "Road Trip" for a more-mature audience. "The Hangover" is not a particularly awful movie, just a bland, juvenile, and rather predictable one, with characters straight from "Road Trip" but ten or fifteen years older and just as dense, one-dimensional, and stereotyped. Well, look at the bright side: At least Tom Green's not in it
