Knocked Up (2007)
The Movie Hangover: She's out celebrating a promotion, he's just looking to score. It was only ever going to end one way.
It's impossible to forget the look of disgust on Alison's (Katherine Heigl) face as she tentatively assesses Ben (Seth Rogen) and his bare arse in her bed the next day.
Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: If the awkward post-coital breakfast wasn't bad enough ("You know, the best thing for a hangover is weed"), this is one hangover that doesn't go away when Alison discovers she's pregnant.
Always use protection, kids.

The gang meet up to talk through their hangovers and dissect the action from the night before (Brick (Steve Carell) ate a big red candle).

Flight (2012)
The Movie Hangover: Airline pilot Whip Whitaker (Denzel Washington) sets himself up for a bad one when he combines a night of booze, sex, drugs, and no sleep with a line of coke, a vodka and Flight 227 to Atlanta.
Alarm bells start ringing when he blearily wakes up in hospital.
Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Whip quickly discovers that he's being hailed as a hero, but it's hard to enjoy praise when you know there's an incriminating toxicology report waiting to destroy your reputation.
Also, we never ever want to fly again.
Bridesmaids (2011)
The Movie Hangover: After mixing her anxiety meds with a huge swig of booze, nervous flyer Annie (Kristen Wiig) actually starts to enjoy the ride.
In fact, she starts to enjoy it a bit too much. Cue Hitler gags, loud singing and the whole hen party getting booted off the plane.
Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover: Not only does Annie have to deal with a banger of a headache on the coach journey home, she also gets ceremonially sacked as maid of honour. That's a double whammy.

The Movie Hangover: Nursing sore heads (and feeling sheepish after their loved-up chat the previous night), Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Michael Cera) head to the mall for some hungover shopping.
Obviously they bump straight into their female aquaintances from the night before, and so begins a very awkward conversation between four very pained teens.
Why It's Worse Than Your Hangover : Each member of the gang is feeling pretty shameful and rotten, but special mention has to go to Jules (Emma Stone), sporting a huge shiner courtesy of Seth.
