With over $275 million dollars in domestic grosses,
The Hangover has now surpassed
Wedding Crashers as the #1 R-rated comedy of all time. Vince Vaughn and director David Dobkin each sent "Hangover" director Todd Phillips a bottle of champagne to congratulate him on this distinctive honor.
Actor Rob Riggle, who plays taser-happy Officer Franklin, thought the film was funny while doing it but could not have predicted its success. He credits this to Phillips' casting of Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis. "I think that's why it worked. Their performances, their comedic genius and talents.

I think they cut some things out for legal reasons so if you see an edit don't worry it was purely legal because he said things you can't say. Other than that it was pretty much free form Ken Jeong stream of consciousness which is some of the weirdest stuff."
