Average sequel

Rating: 5/10 (27 April 2013)

Concept, structure, characters, unfolding: The Hangover II recycles almost every element that composed the first opus, Todd Phillips and his two co-writers mustn't have had a lot of work. There is therefore no more surprise factor, and that is what makes, for the most part, this sequel less good.
The movie manages however to stand out with its trashier aspect, and still offers good scenes and laughs (the end credits are always excellent) and that is what this dispensable follow-up will be remembered for.
Let's hope the third part, which seems even less good, will put an end to this saga that shouldn't have gone past the first movie.
