Review of The Hangover Part II (2011) by Josh M — 20 Feb 2013
This sequel was so disappointing, that it actually ruined the 1st one for me. Hangover (1) is one of my all-time favorites, but after seeing this, I haven't had the urge to watch it in since H2 came out.
The movie is an exact replica of H1, down the musical score. Las Vegas= Bangkok, Baby= Monkey, Doug= Teddy, etc. If you have seen H1 as much as I have, you'll notice WAYYYYY more similarities beyond those.
It's insulting how little Phillips actually added to the Hangover franchise, yet still made so much in the box office. Beyond the most disappointing aspect of the film, the cast is still the same and as such, is very likable.
The "Three Best Friends that anybody could have" have great chemistry and squeeze whatever laughs they can out of the tired script. Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong are best things the movie has going for it.
Jeong steals EVERY scene he's in and I loved it.
