Review of The Hangover Part II (2011) by Klinesmokerr — 26 May 2011

I can't blame the wolf-pack here. The movie wasn't lacking because of the acting chops. In fact, everyone did a fantastic job of pushing the movie forward as best they could. Special props to Ed Helms for being particularly funny in relatively unfunny moments.

However, the prime issue with the movie is that the script itself just wasn't funny. There's hilarity and then there's shock value. Here we aimed for shock as humor and it wasn't convincing. Zach Galifianakis has convincing moments, but the naive character from the first flick is no more, and that's a shame.

All in all I laughed here and there, but I laughed more at the photos during the credits. It's a rental movie for a few chuckles, but the writing just isn't enough to warrant a buy.
