On the entertainment weekly we see the hangover bee n advertised on the front cover, now this photo is much different than the actual poster. For example on here they look like there best friends and having a good time, smiles on their faces and come across as clean, well dressed people. Now in contrast with the poster which look like they have had enough of each other, dirty clothes and look like they just want to go home.
They are being shown like this on the front cover because the film has already been viewed so they want to come away of the typical view of their characters on the film. The way they are positioned on here can indicate the higher in class or intelligence. Allan at the bottom on the pile with Phil and the top showing his dominance on the front cover and perhaps his dominance in the film.
The facial expression on each of the actors as well can tell us about their character. Allan who is positioned at the bottom on the pile is looking up away from the camera with a kind of 'puppy dog' look, perhaps telling us that he looks up (literally) to the other, as in an older brother or someone who takes care of him.
Stu postioned in the center on the group has his face being squeezed by the other, perhaps telling us that people like to control him, control his life, and maybe people like to mess with him and play a lot of pranks.
Phil Positioned at the top, dominating the picture is looking straight into the camera and is the one squeezing Stu, this could indicate that he is the instigator of the group and likes to be in control, the fact that he is also looking straight into the camera can tell us that he is quite self confident.
