I have seen funny and this is not it

Rating: Null/10 (11 July 2011)

Phil: "Everybody order a round of drinks it's on me, oh wait I forgot WE ARE IN A Freakin IHOP." This has to be the only memorable line of the movie. Besides this line the film is a waste of 1 hour and 45 minutes. This movie is a disappointment to fans of the first movie and fails to give the audience more laughs along the way. This movie reminds me of Paranormal Activity 2 because both movies had successful originals and choose to change nothing about for the sequels, but to add more money to the production. Hangover part 2 does not improve on the stand out comedy that the first one had, but it takes away the feeling of what fans were looking for. After seeing previews of this film I knew it would not be as good as number 1, but not this poorly done. 20 minutes into the movie and you start to notice that this is Hangover 1, but in a new setting with less laughs. This movie is a carbon copy of the original and the director throws some distracting elements into the film to help make its running time. Pointless characters pop ups along the way that bring nothing fresh to the story and a plot that seem to drag along during the beginning, middle and end bring this movie down. This movie seem like it was trying too hard to try to improve on the original and fails badly at it. Todd Phillips should have just left people with the first film instead of destroying the series by making this waste of a movie. The comedy is dry, the story is not fresh, and the acting of the additional cast sours this film. There are a few spare moment laughs that get to you now and then, but nothing memorable. It's sad to say Bridesmaids delivered more comedy than this and that should tell the director a lot. If they really believe that these movies should be made into a trilogy than they must not know that making three movies with the same plot is not a trilogy. It's called wasting money on pointless sequels when the first is just fine. So far the summer has only had two great hits out the may slot and this is not one of them.
