Plot Outline:
|
After the events of the Hangover, the four friends find themselves in Thailand for Stu's wedding. Stu is taking no chances after the insanity of Vegas, but just because you plan for a safe, uneventful gathering doesn't mean that plans can't drastically spiral out of control. -- Chris Kavan

Hollywood just cant let things go. The creators seemed to realize they would not be able to top the first one with a new movie so they just recreated the first in a different country to no avail. This movie offers no imagination or fun. It was forced and sad to watch. Why Hollywood? Why do you like killing my favorite movies?
What's worse is that you bet your a**es Part III is coming soon. Going by this one, I expect the third to be on the same level as a straight to DVD movie.

I don't even have much to say about this film except, ehh. It was basically the last movie, but this time set in Bangkok. Where the last film felt fresh, this felt stale, like I'd seen it before, and I had, it was called The Hangover. |

Maybe it's only me,but I found this funny, agree that the plot is same/new location but overall it's only slighty worse then the original. Read reviews before i saw, didn't get how people were so against it, when it's just the first one w/ new (still funny) twists.. |

No where near the greatness of the original! |
|
Ok this is actually one time i should've listened to all the bad reviews as they were 100% bang on! I realized upon originally seeing this that it was the sequel and some of the orginal laughs would be more then likely used again...ummm? not all of them!! My god! It's like they took the first instalment and just added new paint and then just moved the whole same story to an exotic locale to get people's butts in the seats. Hangover 1 was hilarious to put it short so that alone will make the filmmakers a few bucks as all the fans from the first one , much like myself, will be wanting to see this as well although i highly doubt their will be a part 3 and if they do it will probably end up heading straight to dvd. To give the devil his due this movie does a have a few chuckles within as we s... |

The Hangover Part II review |
|
Almost a copycat of the original with a different setting and darker premise. Stu (Ed Helms) became more neurotic and irritating because of the girlish screams. Alan (Zach Galifianakis) still had a few laughs, but still doesn't surpass his moments from its predecessor. Phil (Bradley Cooper) tried too hard to keep things under control, was a bit dull in this 2nd effort. It felt more like a mystery film than a comedy. The only scenes I enjoyed were the nice cinematography, musical background and Chows performance (Ken Jeong) who is still hilarious in the sequel. Overall, I felt they should have not created this, it was fun after they all woke -up, and Mike Tyson tries his best to entertain, which almost mirrors my sentiments about this flick. Pure disappointment with a few laughable... |

Not as good as the original, but still funny |
|
The original Hangover was, to me, a magical movie. Everything about it clicked and it ended up being one of my all-time favorite comedies. That being said, I was skeptical about part two BEFORE going to see it. I thought it would be a lame copy of the original. Luckily, that didn't turn out to be the case. While it was pretty much a copy of the plot of the original, it was also a funny and entertaining movie. While the first one is much more funnier than this movie, there was still quite a few scenes that had almost everyone in the theater laugh very hard. The main characters were almost as good as they were in the first one. That was another doubt I had about this film. And as in the first one, Alan (Zach Galifianakis) was the best character in terms of comedy. He had a lot of funny line... |

You are right, people are watching it. The DVD release will push the overall take on the film through the roof. Easily one of the top 5 movies of 2011. That doesn't mean it was a great film, but just entertaining enough to get one's money's worth. I am amazed at the number of adult comedies that came out this year. I still love Bridesmaids. Although Bad Teacher was not perfect, it did provide some good laughs. |

I am convinced that this movie now sucks. Way worse than the first. |

The Hangover Part II currently stands at $245 million and is the highest grossing movie of the year (so far). Despite the critical drubbing, it's apparent that people are watching the film - and given the numbers, probably multiple times.
Where do you think the film will wind up at the end of the year? Granted, Transformers: Dark of the Moon is going to have a monster weekend (in the range of $165 million) and you have both Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows pt. 2 not to mention another Twilight movie coming out this year.
What do you think? I'm guessing within the top 5 films in terms of grosses. For all the complaints going around, I would say that it hasn't lost a step at all. |

I thought it was good, although the humor does take a little bit of a different turn with more sex jokes and nudity, and violence (blood and a finger) haha but I still thought it was hilarious and I want to own it. |

May I say some of the things that bothered me about this 2nd Hangover movie?
Early in the movie, Phil (Bradley Coopers character) is trying to get Stu (Ed Helms) the dentist to let him try nitrous oxide in Stu's office, his whole focus of conversation seems to be drugs, alcohol and getting high or altered. He complains about not having alcohol at the little impromptu bachelor brunch the guys are having -- as if there is nothing more important in life -- and the real kick in the head is that he has his baby with him!
I leaned over and said to my husband: What is that man doing with a baby?!
In the first Hangover, he was just a nice guy with a sense of fun and a willingness to get a little lit and have a little fun, but he was genuinely upset about Alan (Zach Galifianakis) spiking the beers with roofies!
The drug-seeking in the 2nd one shows what I see as a major shift in character for him.
Also Alan was zany & rather bizarre in the 1st Hangover, but in the 2nd he was arrogant and mean-spirited -- also a big shift in character.
I felt in this 2nd one, the lovable characters we knew and sympathized with in the first one, to a large extent, took themselves away from the audience who loved them in the 1st one.
I was disappointed practically from the beginning of the 2nd one,that Stu and the sweet hooker from the 1st one had split, tho' oddly his character stayed closer to who he was in the first one.
I'm not a prude, and get a huge kick out of the crazy hijinx in the buddy movies, but I also look for core goodness in characters which speaks not just to being human, but humane and having a goodness of heart and soul...
The fun was there in Hangover 2, but they let me down on who those characters seemed to have become within. |
