Ugly and unfunny

Rating: 1/10 (9 January 2014)

I really liked the first movie, because it was very funny without being mean spirited, and had the right level of rudeness. I was excited to see this, not expecting it to be very good but expecting it to be fun at least. I was wrong. In this inevitable sequel, the wolf pack go to Thailand for Stu's wedding and after another disastrous bachelor party they wake up in a hotel room in Bangkok with no memory of last night and the younger brother of Stu's fiancée goes missing and they have to find him. Is any of this sounding familiar? If so, I'm not surprised since this is literally the exact same as the first movie. But there are a few small differences such as it's a monkey instead of a tiger and they're in Bangkok instead of Vegas. The biggest difference is that while the first was hilarious fun this is a nasty, repugnant, pathetic, numbingly unfunny, abysmally written, lazy, mean spirited and utterly unbearable stink-bomb of a sequel that's more disturbing than funny.
There are a couple of funny moments and the place where they find who they were looking for feels more logical than it did in the first one. Aside from that, this is utterly woeful. The cast lose much of their sparkle, especially Bradley Cooper while the script is painfully unfunny and full of tasteless humour and flat jokes. The film is mean spirited and lazy, expecting audiences to be satisfied with a carbon copy and expecting them to laugh at these unpleasant gags. This takes all that was fun about the first and turns it up to 11. It's racist, sexist, foul mouthed and full of disturbing situations and it, in general, isn't funny. This has to be one of the laziest and worst sequels of all time and while most don't seem to hate it quite as much as I do, many will disappointed. Aside from a couple of laughs (Mainly involving Alan) this is about as fun as being punched in the face. This is evidence that just because the jokes are ruder it doesn't make them funnier.
