Review of The Hangover Part II (2011) by Jblack0928 — 30 May 2011

WHY? I so desperately wanted to like this movie. After I came out of the theater I pretty much convinced myself that it was ok. When I got home my wife asked "how was the movie"? Thats when it hit me like a ton of bricks.

This movie was awful. Every joke was blatantly recycled from the first movie. Several times they even use the exact same joke and throw in "again" at the end. IE, the group wakes up in a seedy hotel room finding clues as to what happened but still unable to piece the entire picture together, Stu has a tatoo on his face instead of a missing tooth, there's a monkey in the bathroom instead of a tiger, a mute monk instead of a baby, and guess what.

.. their friend is missing!!! They have a revelation "the roof" Stu yells to the group. They all run up to the roof and he's not their. "I cant believe this is happening again" cries Stu.

Then Phil says "wait empty your pockets, come on guys you know the drill". And as I sit their feeling a severe sense of Deja Vu I say to myself "Phil I do know the drill". A bunch of other stupid shenanigans take place and about 60 minutes later the movie wraps up, ending the same way the first one did.

The only thing I took away from this movie was a little hate towards the first one and towards Todd Phillips as a writer/director. The good news, this movie made enough money already to start penning The Hangover 3 and guess what I know now from the 2nd one not to waste my money.
