The Hangover 2 is a lifeless and empty comedic experience.

Rating: Null/10 (25 May 2011)

Not as bad as Caddyshack 2 as some are claiming but probably because The Hangover was no classic like Caddyshack. So, it has less farther to fall. The Hangover 2 is a below average follow up to an above average comedy. I really didn't share the over-the-top love for the first film even though I did enjoy it very much. The same can't be said for this go around. This particular incarnation isn't all that witty, sexy or even gross enough to distinguish itself from any number of similar comedy efforts. I hope fans of the first haven't set their expectations too high because this thing really isn't that funny. Releasing it in the summer means it will fade from memory FAST as other more entertaining films are released in this jam packed season.
Bromances may have been all the rage a few years ago but I think most of us are sick of films like this one at this point. The writing is full of lazy clichés and the lowbrow alleged laughs on display are completely dumb and almost never funny. I couldn't decide who was more irritating Zach's character, Bradley and his arrogant one-liners or the thought that the writers of this trash actually got a huge paycheck to draft this nonsense. The Hangover 2 is a lifeless and empty comedic experience.
Instead of a sequel to a funny film all they've given us an insanely unfunny and unlikable film. Way to cash in but phone in a sequel.
