One Hell of a Bachelor Party!

Rating: 8/10 (1 June 2011)

Having missed out on the first HANGOVER movie, I went into the theater not knowing what to expect, though I had a few notions: non-stop zaniness, as well as raunchy and potentially dangerous situations. It's a tried-and-true formula that has been with us since the early days of cinema. While you sometimes get horrible variations (the countless American PIE off-shoots come to mind) this time, it works! Once again, we follow the gang of drunken idiots on the verge of a wedding, who wake up and have to piece together what happened the previous night. Only this time, instead of Las Vegas, it's Bangkok. Great scenery by the way. You really get a sense of place, as we visit dingy night clubs, bars, and a strip club that's not quite what it seems. If you don't mind raunchy guy humor, this movie is your cup of tea!
