A Good Sequel, despite borrowing Too Much from the Original,

Rating: 8/10 (2 November 2012)

The Hangover Part II is a great movie with a well written plot and a terrific comedic cast. As far as sequels go, I found it to be a very solid one that lives up to the fun and mayhem of its predecessor, taking the characters to new heights and higher risks. It had me in stitches, as well as enthralled by this adventure.
I do think that it borrows far too many elements from the first Hangover, it felt like the writers were far too aware of what made its predecessor a success that they did not even bother to try to come up with fresher material. What happens to the characters is the exact same as the first, only bigger, but that does not mean better.
The cast are as brilliant as ever, with them all still bouncing off one another brilliantly. It is an absolute pleasure to have Zach Galifanakis, Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper return to their respective roles, and they are joined by many other cast members, old and new, that fit the ensemble terrificly.
A fun sequel that is very forgiveable for not being perfect. The Hangover Part II is good fun that I would certainly recommend fans of the original check out.

Stu invites Alan to his wedding, a decision he very quickly regrets after waking up in Bangkok on the morning of the event.

Best Performance: Ed Helms
