I just got back from seeing The Hangover: Part II
That was an awkward film. I'm pretty sure I'm scarred for life, now.
Like any other review you will find of this movie, I am going to point out that it is almost a complete carbon copy of the original. Substitute a monkey for the baby and a prodigal son for Doug, and it is literally the same movie.
I guess if it works, keep remaking it until it stops working...
What made the first one great was that it was fresh. No one had ever seen anything like it before. Part II doesn't have that going for it.
Honestly, it did have some funny parts. My favorite scene from the entire movie is at the rehearsal dinner. It was hilarious. After that scene, the film just progressively got worse.
I personally do not recommend this movie. Just go watch the first one again, because it really is better. A sequel should at least be somewhat original. Jon Lucas, Scott Moore, why oh why did you not come back to write the sequel. It was your genius that made the film great in the first place.
