For those unfamiliar, the first Hangover movie is about three friends who wake up the night after a wild event in Las Vegas with very little recollection of the night before and have to retrace their steps to find out exactly what they did. .

Jeff Wadlow directs with Chloë Grace Moretz as the Hit Girl and Aaron Taylor-Johnson as Kick-Ass.
