Okay, but not that great either

Rating: 4/10 (20 June 2011)

I haven't seen the first Hangover film. Having said that, I'm not sure I really missed much in terms of a continuation of the story, although obviously the characters bring with them some backstory from the first film. So how does this one rate by itself? There were a couple of funny moments, but only a couple. I kept waiting for some truly funny things to occur, but they never did. For a location like Bangkok, they didn't really film that much of it. It's an epic, hot, sprawling city, but they could have been filming it anywhere. Where were the night markets, the myriad bars and brothels, the heat, and the people? They seem to be largely absent, markedly so if you've ever actually been to Bangkok.
Bradley Cooper was the star of the film. The other actors were all a bit crap. Zach Gifiankidis (or whatever his name is) sucked.
Ehh, not much else to say here. I was pretty disappointed all round.
4 out of 10.
