Falling for this twice...hilarious

Rating: 9/10 (25 February 2012)

The problem with sequels â€“ even if they are dressed up to be referred as Part I and Part II â€“ is that sometimes you have to watch the first part to remind yourself just how hilarious the first instalment was. When finally you sit down to the second film, one thing that needs to be made absolutely clear is this, you will laughÂ…a lot. In fact you will more than likely laugh so much through the funny parts that you'll need to rewind a little to catch up with the funny bits you missed.
The Hangover Part II is a very cleverly made comedy sequel that takes the four friends: Phil, Stu, Alan and Doug, to Thailand for what is to be a straight forward wedding that will see Stu being married â€“ again. Having invited Alan through a sympathy vote on account that his experience in Las Vegas had left the others in a non-talking mood when returning home, they all finally agree that everyone who went to Vegas could go to the wedding.
With the trip to Thailand going well, the get together ceremony of the Bride and Groom with friends and relatives does not go as well with Alan announcing a speech which hints at Las Vegas. It is now that Phil organises a little drink for the guys to have a big boy's moment down by the beachÂ… Filled with hilarity, zany and sometimes 'tongue in cheek' humour, The Hangover Part 2 is a definite Rent or Buy film, whether on DVD or Blu-Ray, the action, comedy and drama is by far one of the best American comedies so far this year. In a "No Holds Barred" style National Lampoon's extravaganza, everyone getting their hands on this will not be disappointed. By giving any more details of the film would truly spoil the rest for those that haven't had the luck to see the film yet.
For those who thought Mike Tyson's cameo in the first part was pretty funny, it is with a promise that we say "You definitely haven't seen everything yet!" The Hangover Part Two is available to Rent or Buy now.
DVD Archive Rating: 9/10 (10/10 if the soundtrack would have been better)
