not as good as the first

Rating: 7/10 (16 July 2011)

My girlfriend and I went to watch this movie last weekend having waited 4-5 weeks since its UK release date. We loved the first one and I can honestly say the first movie is funniest film I have ever seen. Before watching numero uno, I had no idea what the film was about, except the title of the movie was a slight give away. Having no idea of the plot, characters and whom was starring in the movie think helped in the surprise element of how good 1 actually was.
It was my attempt on number 2 to approach it in the same light however difficult it was from its constant trailers and marketing. However I made sure I didn't watch any trailers and when friends spoke about what they had seen before me I would put both hands over both ears and declare repetition of 'la, la, la, la la la' so no spoilers would reach me.
Now having seen part 2 I was surprised the film was good (not as good) but still some fantastic laugh out moments if not as many as part 1. Ed Helms for me steals the show with his amazing energy on screen and on this occasion Mr Chow played by ken jeong makes more of a contribution to the plot which is fun if not just a tad over the top.
Quick plot, Stu is getting married this time and is enforced to have a bachelor party of his own, however it is agreed that this would be of a much quieter affair. However, things don't actually go to plan. Its a fun packed joy ride of a film. i wont say anymore except, I need to be honest, you need to have seen the 1st movie to even consider watching this flick and it is purely designed for fans of the 1st.
6 or 7 out of 10?? Haven't made up my mind yet?
