I personally think this would lend itself to the stage so well...maybe with a score by Katy Perry? (Waking up in vegas--opening number...) I know it's 100% unconventional and would never happen but I think it would totally work.
Go ahead, spew your disbelief and hatred, I'm game
I think the first act would have to be events and relationships leading UP to the actual movie itself, and the second act would have to be the actual film- that was the biggest problem with the movie. The character development and events leading up to it were horrifically written. Not that "The Hangover" is good material in general. It made me laugh..but not much more than that.
It would be like making a musical of other horribly-written-but-otherwise-funny-because-of-the-jokes movies that also go along with the same crowd as the Hangover, (i.e. Pineapple Express, Superbad, Juno...)

Before this, I'd like to see Mean Girl The Musical with Jane Krakowski as Mrs. George and Tina Fey reprising Ms. Norbury (with Jeff Richmond writing the score of course). =)

[tos]fan999 - Are you serious RE: Mean Girls? Jane Krakowski is definitely too old to play a high schooler. In fact, didn't she play a high school teacher in the workshop of "Mrs. Sharp" last summer? Haha.
MEAN GIRLS: THE MUSICAL would be amazing. I'll think of the song titles. One could be "So Fetch!"
I hated Juno. I waited until after the Oscars to see it, so I thought it'd be really good, because of the hype... Not so much. The dialogue annoyed the **** out of me and I didn't really like Juno that much. I also don't like Michael Cera that much.
haha, yeah. Mrs. George is Regina's mom. But after the 30 Rock episode where Jenna played a mom on Gossip Girl, I thought of her for Mrs. George (I don't think they ever say her first name?)
