A brilliant film that helped define a genre

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

I wanted to like it more than I actually did... But much of the humor totally escaped me and I walked out only mildly impressed.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

While I have not seen the first movie of Hang over I still Think this is a great movie to watch its funny and enjoyable and has great taste something that Seth Macfarlane really needs to work on his Adult swim junk. Places for this movie are amazing being set in Thailand at I thought they where set in China somewhere but I found they where set Thailand which is a place I always wanted to see on places to go bucket list. Overall a very funny movie if you don't take it too seriously I would give it a 10/10 but I Thought to give a 9 instead Great movie wroth a watch

The Hangover 2 gives you the same feeling you get when you drink too much the night before and wake up with a piercing headache. The Wolf Pack is back, this time they are heading to Thailand for their friend Stu's wedding. Stu wants a peacefully relaxing wedding with his friends with no signs of a bachelor party. When the Wolf Pack arrives in Thailand they decided to have one beer by a bonfire on the beach with Stu's future brother in-law Teddy then head to bed. Morning comes and the Wolf Pack awake in a seedy hotel room in Bangkok. Not remembering what happened the night before, the boys try to remember what happened the night before. As they try to recollect what happened, they realize Teddy is missing and they need to find out what happened and where Teddy is before the wedding in two days. My problem with The Hangover 2 is not the similar storyline, just a different city, but the way the movie tries to force you to laugh. Having an almost exact same storyline with some forced laughter is going to bore the audience. I felt bored through the entire movie waiting when the big laughs will happen. These big laughs have to happen soon. Then as the movie progressed, will there be any big laughs? I felt cheated in this movie. There are no real new jokes. Instead of a baby, they have a monkey this time. Their missing friend was where they first began like last time. They got beat up by Chow again like the first one. The same jokes, the same situations continue. The Wolf Pack even thought they found their missing friend like in the first and low and behold the friend was the wrong person. Then the movie tried to push laughter on the audience with the trans-gender scenes and jokes. The jokes grossed you out more then made you laugh, the ploy backfired. They fired a lot at the audience but ultimately failed. No one in the audience in my theater was laughing and the movie was sold out. There were no major problems with any of the direction, cinematography, or acting. This is a comedy; the movie is not graded on those merits as much as a movie like Lord of The Rings or The Godfather mold is. Though Zach Galifianakis has fallen into the same category as Adam Sandler, Michael Cera, Seth Rogen, Will Ferrell, and Rob Schneider, he is type cast as the same person in every role and every movie, though Will Ferrell and Rob Schneider were never good or funny for that matter. The Hangover 2 will leave you searching for that aspirin after a heavy night of drinking. Watching this film in the movies is not worth full price or matinée. I say skip a blind buy and wait for the movie to available in the Redbox for a dollar if you really need to see this. The Hangover 2 is 5/10 or C for average at best

It's been a few years now since I watched the first part of this movie, but I still have the memories of how much it did make me laugh. I also remember that although most of it was unthinkable in real life, it did not get to a point of idiocy that turned you against the movie. They did manage to live in that fine line where you still accept what you are watching. In the sequel, that line was slightly crossed. On top of that, you have to feel a little disappointed about finding some replays of the elements that made you laugh in the first movie. I always take points away when I see a director that copies himself. A few examples: Stu loses a tooth in the first movie, in the second one he gets a tattoo on his face. Stu gets married to whore, in the second one he has sex with a transsexual. In the first movie they had a Lion, in the second they have a monkey; the bearded guy "masturbates" a baby, here he masturbates an old man. And again in both of them, they get involved against some underworld guys. But make no mistake, I know I have not concentrated much on the positives of the movie so far, when the only thing that counts is how much it makes you laugh. And the truth is, I did laugh quite a few times and had a good time watching it. So bring on Hangover 3.

I thought this was going to be a poor repetition of the first Hangover movie, and yes there are a few events we have seen before, but all in a new package.Bradley, Ed, Zach and Justin is back, this time they spend time with some "old" faces but we are also introduced to a few new ones. And yes they do it again, get very wasted and can't remember what happened and have to relive it all again.But it is kind of different, yes they are using old material, but it worked well the first time and it actually is okay the second time around also.
