All I want from a comedy

Rating: 8/10 (16 August 2011)

I've heard many people slate this film for being too similar to "The Hangover". OK, many things were the same (i.e. being set just before a wedding and events turning out badly) but for me this didn't retract from the film. It was still as good as the original, possibly even better in my opinion.
As a 16 year old teenager this ticked all the boxes for me. The characters were very funny, especially Alan (Zach Galifianakis) who made me laugh out loud on several occasions. He was given most of the witty lines and Zach's innocent and childish portrayal of Alan over the two films has propelled him to a cult status. The other characters also held their own; Mr. Chow(Ken Jeong)who I was glad to see again was as always a good laugh. Both Stu (Ed Helms) and Phil (Bradley Cooper) were very good in their separate ways as well.
The plot also lived up to my expectations. As I've already said it was similar to the original, the main difference that the gang are in Bangkok, not Vegas. However, it was still entertaining and intriguing with many twists. If anything, this time round their adventure was even better and ludicrous.
This is a must see for all comedy fans.
