Surprised at the negative reviews

Rating: 8/10 (29 July 2015)

I thought this movie was great. I mean you have to remember to take it for what it is a break from reality. This film focuses on the bond between the "colleagues" not really sure what to call them but it focuses on the problems within their friendships and more on their back stories. I feel the movie does fine without Matthew McConaughey, and benefits from the removal of the characters "The Kid" and Brooke. I enjoyed the addition of Zoe and her friends. I found that Jada Pinkett's scenes added nothing to the movie left me feeling that her character was pointless. I laughed so hard I'm talking tears streaming stomach cramping laughter for a good portion of the movie it was very enjoyable. I actually prefer the sequel to the original. I feel part of what makes this movie so good is that unlike The Hangover 2 they strayed away from the original plot.
