Carbon copy of original, but still amusing.

Rating: 5/10 (28 May 2011)

The Wolfpack has relocated to Bangkok. Stu (Ed Helms) has planned a quiet wedding in Thailand with bride Lauren (Sucker Punch's Jamie Chung), but naturally it turns ugly. Part II is essentially a carbon copy of the smash hit original. Writer-director Todd Phillips has lazily used a cut and paste technique, but it's still very amusing nonetheless. The written gags are fairly witty although it's the delivery from the cast, especially Zach Galifianakis, which really provides the laughs. The short, fat comedian is hilarious as the socially (and mentally?) retarded Alan; his comic timing and straight-faced humour is faultless. The supporting characters are hit-and-miss, Ken Jeong's Mr Chow again painfully unfunny. This inferior sequel won't draw in any new audience members; however fans of its predecessor will still have a hoot. 3 out of 5
