Still Raunchy and Still NOT Funny

Rating: 2/10 (17 December 2011)

The same group of friends that were in Hangover 1 set out for Stu's (Helms) wedding in Thailand. And, as before, of course, they enjoy a last drink with Stu as a single man. And, of course, three of them Phil (Cooper), Alan (Galifianakis) and Stu wake up the next morning in Bangkok, miles away from the wedding site. And none of them, of course, can remember anything of what happened the night before and Teddy (Lee) is not with them and where is he?
The formula is the same. They find a clue where to go and at each place they go to they are told of their bad behavior the night before and somehow come up with another clue toward solving the mystery. And, of course, they remember nothing. Now, all this wouldn't be so bad if the things I witnessed didn't come to pass. When you try too hard to be funny, you fail. And, they failed big time. There is no other way to say it.
Touted as a comedy, I found nothing funny in here. I witnessed a lot of raunchy bathroom behavior that many call humor, a lot of overacting, frontal nudity of both male and female bodies, and raunchy sex language throughout. And, will someone please tell me what Galifianakis' claim to comedy fame is. I do not find him even remotely funny. And, as I mentioned in my H1 review, he was very good in a dramatic role in IT'S KIND OF A FUNNY STORY. Yet, he continues to try comedy. Go figure.
The only breath of fresh air was Mr. Chow (Jeong). Yes, he had the potty mouth (as most did) too, but his delivery kind of livened up the place. He's pretty good.
And, to finish off the formula, you just know a camera will be found that shows pictures of all them and what they did the night before when they couldn't remember anything the next day. And, of course, many of those pictures are really crude. Of course.
The Hangover 2 had to be made because they realized that Hangover 1 was not funny when they promised laughs. Well, not funny except for the taser scenes in front of children as they were LOL funny. But, I guess the joke (give me a break) is on them because this was not funny either. Will there be a H3 to make things right? Stay tuned. (2/10)
