Enjoyable, I just wished it was more original.

Rating: 5/10 (16 July 2011)

The Wolfpack is back in The Hangover Part 2, a sequel that gave me more de ja vu than the characters have. If you remember, the three heroic morons Phil, Stu, and Allan(Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis) got really wasted and lost their best friend in Vegas just 2 years ago. If you saw that film, you've basically seen the sequel.
Stu is getting married this time, and in Thailand. His father in law doesn't like him. Just to throw that out there. They don't get really wasted this time. Actually, Stu has decided to not even have a bachelor party. But yet, it still happens.
They wake up in an apartment in Bangkok. Doug(Justin Bartha) was the smart one and got the hell out of there before it was too late. This time, they wake up with Mr. Chow(Ken Jeong), a monkey, a finger, and Stu has a Mike Tyson tattoo on his face. So who did they lose? They lost Stu's future brother in law. So, they must once again piece together the night before in order to find him.
I won't deny that I laughed in this movie. I laughed a lot. The sequel is more inappropriate, and the characters still have the same qualities that made them so likable. But I wish that they could've made a film that tried something new. I could predict where it was going, and the lines are almost the same, and there are similar situations again.
I still found it to be fun and funny though, and for that I am recommending it. The original was like Dude wheres my car?, and now the sequel is like both of them. If you've never seen the original, you will enjoy the sequel more. But if you have, then the original is better.
