Does Not Hold A Candle To The First Hangover Film

Rating: 8/10 (27 December 2014)

The Hangover Part II is a sequel to the 2009 blockbuster hit The Hangover and the second film in The Hangover franchise.This time around,it tells the story of Phil,Stu,Alan and Doug when they travel to Thailand for Stu's wedding.Just like Doug,Stu throws his own bachelor party before the wedding.But things do not go as planned and the group once again find themselves having no memories of the events of the previous night the following day.The movie stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Ken Jeong, Jeffrey Tambor, Justin Bartha and Paul Giamatti.The screenplay was co- written and directed by Todd Philips just like the first film.
Overall,the movie is visually dazzling,well-shot and obviously richer in personalities and characters.Unfortunately,it wasn't clever,refreshing and funny compared to the first film.It was practically almost the same too as the first film as the only difference happens to be that the bachelor party and the group who are at a lot are in Bangkok instead of Last Vegas. Despite the fact that it has a talented cast,it does not deliver enough laughter and humor to hold a candle to the first Hangover film.
