The Hangover Part II (2011) - What Happens in Bangkok, Stays in Bangkok!

Rating: 7/10 (28 May 2011)

The second installment of the box office hit, "The Hangover" was not that great through the eyes of critics, but I honestly enjoyed watching these guys drunk again, even if they were too lazy to come up with new material. The film reunites the gang from the previous movie, as they all celebrate Stu's wedding in Thailand, but once again, after a long night of partying, they forget everything and they have to find the missing brother of the fiancée, and go on a little drunken scavenger hunt.....again! Now, I did laugh at this movie a lot, but I honestly felt that it was too dark. Meaning that, some of the jokes went way too far. I mean, this movie was way too raunchy, when it was supposed to be raunchy at an appropriate level. But at least I laughed a lot in this movie, but it's just that the first movie was funnier. I felt that a sequel to "The Hangover" is just plain pointless. If there was a sequel, it would be too predictable, because you would already know what's going to happen next. I felt that this was a completely unoriginal sequel, with such lazy writing. I bet the writers didn't know how to make a Hangover sequel, so they decided to just add the same premise from the original, and thought nobody will notice. Not smart, and not good. But, at least I laughed throughout the movie, but there were just some scenes that just went way too far! I did enjoy the characters again, there were some funny scenes, but that doesn't mean that it's a great movie overall, just a funny comedy with an unoriginal storyline. But that's all I want in a comedy, just make me laugh! I was easily entertained by the movie, and I enjoyed watching these characters again, but just watch the movie to laugh, because you just won't care about the plot! "The Hangover Part II", in my review, "completely unoriginal, but totally hilarious".
