Skip This & Watch The Original If You Must

Rating: 5/10 (3 June 2013)

This movie starts out lame...I mean a giraffe getting beheaded? It would take a master of scripts to make this somehow funny. It's a foreboding because the rut this digs the rest of the movie wallows in.
The four "buddies" had chemistry in the first installment of "The Hangover"...So, what the hell happened? A money grab, pure and simple. No creativity in the writing and what director could save this screenplay is beyond human understanding.
The fat bearded guy needs an intervention. The three other "Wolf Packers" volunteer. They never get where they're going because of "circumstances" involving Chow and some garbage about his gold brick heist. John Goodman plays a mobster whose henchmen run the Wolf Pack down and kidnap them. The sweet guy ends up a hostage until the others find Chow and the missing loot.
Let's go to Mexico and find Chow because The Mob always hires idiots to do this kind of work. You know the Wolf Pack, in it's sophistication, are experts at not only finding Chow when The Mob can't, but retrieving the gold...Yeah! Well, just in case this doesn't prime the machine isn't it a good idea that Chow double-crosses The Wolf Pack in order for the movie to shift to good 'ol VEGAS!
Sad to say, but nothing works here. There is so little humor that hits this is more like a study "why sequels suck"! This is the rare movie that probably will have a blockbuster first weekend and won't last three. Not only that, it's so lackluster on-demand and DVD sales will likely tank too just due to word-of-mouth. Yes, it is that bad. This is the "Heaven's Gate" of sequels (pure $#!+). If you must see it find a way to do so at no expense to yourself...That way the only thing you've wasted is time.
