Shamelessly squeezing every last drop out of the formula

Rating: 3/10 (26 April 2020)

I generally despise sequels and Hangover II is a great example of why that is. This is just a complete rewrite of the original with zero artistic integrity. And if you were going to make just one change, surely you would remove the atrocious Mr Chow? But no, Todd Phillips appears to be the only sentient being who actually thinks this character is funny. Even Mike Tyson is dragged back into this mess for no good reason other than to sing out-of-tune at a wedding (why is this funny?) There are a handful of mildly amusing moments, largely thanks to Ed Helms, but overall this is just a lazy and shameless sequel that does nothing but taint the original.
