Basically a below average rehash than a good comedic sequel

Rating: Null/10 (7 November 2011)

The buddies take a while to get together while constantly talking about what happened in the previous movie. And not just join together in a quick but fluid manner. Plus the characters just isn't as likable this time around. This movie is basically a rehash of the first movie, but the first one was more fluid when it came to it's comedic elements and more entertaining. This one just seemed to be trying a bit too hard because the first one was such a success. It was like the movie was trying to make the scenarios cool but it just lacked in it's comedic value. The situation and everything just seemed way too over exaggerated and it goes in a direction where it's difficult to just go with the flow. The only big originality is that the pack is now in Bangkok but even than it doesn't give anything all that new or all that funny. If this movie came before the original I am not sure if this franchise would have been a hit. I was continuously waiting for this movie to be at least a good comedy but it just never really reached that level. It just seemed like they didn't have a clever direction or a good comedic plot but just wanted to cash in as soon as possible. It does have it's moments but it's very few and nothing that really stands out. This so called sequel isn't terrible but it was still disappointing.
5.8/10
