Review of The Hangover Part II (2011) by Kj P — 23 May 2013

I am being as generous as I possibly can towards a film that relies on changing a script around to fit a sequel, but I have to say, the laughs are all there and I actually enjoyed the movie in a way. The "Wolfpack" is definitely back, but not exactly the way we wanted them back.

So it changes from Vegas to Bangkok, a baby to a monkey, a tiger to a monk, and a stolen police car to a stolen boat. There really is no originality here, which I actually did not even care about, because these guys are so hilarious that it overshadows almost every lowered bar from the film.

This film's story is an exact replica of it's original, but the events and locations all change. The do pull you in at the beginning and make you wonder how, but in the end, the outcome is clever, but very rushed and stupid.

Overall, it is a great time at the movies once, and then you get back to reality to realize the script was lazy and outlandish. It is raunchier and darker than the first and Allen randomly becomes mean spirited, but overlooking all of this, I had a bit fun.

It is extremely average for a second instalment, but I didn't mind, I mean there is only so much you can do with a premise like this. "The Hangover Part II" is a below average sequel film with stupid comedy! I recommend a quick watch if you enjoyed the first!
