The Hangover Part Meh

Rating: Null/10 (12 July 2011)

This movie was a pale rehash of the exact same story from the first movie. Yes, it takes place in Thailand. Yes, there are new shenanigans. No, it's not original or clever or humorous. One bright note I did get to see this movie free of charge, but there was a high price for seeing this film, it was 102 min I will never get back again. I think I got gipped. I am at a loss for words on how bland this movie was. The only character I thought was entertaining was the monkey (Crystal). I think it was Penn Jillette who said it best "there is nothing funnier than a smoking monkey." Unfortunately, this comedy gold is wasted on an extravagant waste of time. Don't get me wrong: I truly enjoyed watching the characters get the tar beat out of them but I don't think it was for the reasons that the filmmakers intended. If you liked the original, just re-watch it. Do not waste your time on this half-assed retread. I am obviously going to give this movie a red light, for failing to do anything more with the characters or the storyline.
