If you put a coat on a dog isn't it the same dog?

Rating: 3/10 (5 June 2011)

Well this is one time i should've listened to the other critics, i knew going into seeing this that it was the Hangover part 2 hence the some of the similar things that occurred in the first one would re-occur in the second..I didn't realize all of them would re-occur! My god its like they took the first instalment and just put a fresh coat of paint on it and moved it to an exotic locale to get people into the seats. The first one was hilarious, so that being said will be enough to make this instalment some money although i highly doubt that anyone will bother if they decide to make a 3rd as they no longer have their element of surprise and i wouldn't be surprised if it goes straight to DVD rental. That being said, this movie has some funny moments although far and between as we see that Stu (Ed Helms) the dentist is the one getting married this time round and his fiancée's family reside in beautiful Thailand. Due to the horrors that occurred during Doug's (Justin Bartha) bachelor party, he has decided he wants his wedding nice and quiet and has decided not to invite anyone. Apon hearing that Phil (Bradley Cooper) guilts him to inviting all his buddies including Allan (Zack Galafinakis) They all arrive and everything looks swell with even Stu starting to chill out by the fire on the beach as all the buddies are together. Stu says you know what? Sorry for not wanting you guys to come this is really nice. Flash to the next morning and the boys are all waking up with huge heads and that feeling of 'not again!' Hence the title it's time for Hangover 2. My biggest problem is, and yes i know that its title is the second hangover however i expected at least some new ideas. The laughs are there however nowhere near the breath taking laughter that i exhumed upon seeing the original. So if you are a fan of the original i say you have been warned
