Hangover 2


How do you top a hit movie or at least make it comparable to the first one?
Well you take the same actors, use the same premise, throw in a few surprises and you have Hangover 2.
I went to this movie wanting to get the same adventure I experienced the first time with The Wolfpack and I got it in spades.
The movie starts right after the bachelor party in Las Vegas, Phil, Stu, Alan, and Doug jet to Thailand for Stu's wedding. Stu's plan for a subdued pre-wedding brunch, however, goes seriously awry.
There are some very funny moments and some scenes will make you want to throw-up. Mr. Chow, Ken Jeong, is back and funnier than ever. Paul Giamatti plays in the role I assume was meant for Mel Gibson. There is also a very funny monkey.
There have been mixed reviews on this movie but if it ain't broken don't try and fix it, stick to the formula that made it a hit.

Verdict:
Not as great as the first but a solid follow-up. My prediction for H3 is Zach G. will be the next one to have to get married.
