15 - 102mins - comedy - may 26, 2011
Hot on the heels of the hangover, a massive success of summer in 2008, the party hangover II brings together the Pack and the adventure begins around again in another country and city.
This time, the parameter is the Thailand and Stu (Ed Helms) is lucky to be married. With marriage operate in Thailand to help the Stu to agree with his new parents, the rest of the gang-Phil (Bradley Cooper), Doug (Justin Bartha) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) start planning for a more relaxing version of their Las Vegas debauchery. This time however, it is an another goer party in the form of the 16-year-old brother brides Teddy (Mason Lee).
Suffice it to say the unthinkable occurs and that they will wake up in Bangkok and sport a very impressive hangover again. Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) also returns and is given a role more important in this one with his character some extreme films offering more fun moments.
The writers and the Director appear to be stuck on the same winning principles to last almost identical film which you might consider to be a good thing. Yes it is vulgar and higher than the last and they were slightly tweaked it, but there is no real change from the original. The Tiger is now a monkey, the broken tooth is now a tattoo, a character disappears etc.. The result is a very disappointing non-film only you receive the same jokes in the same order with the same characters, but you can work out exactly what will happen then.
The original won us above reason is scandalous and original scenarios, it just increases the outrageousness property/nudity and believes that all that is required to create another success of the. Completely wrong. In fact, most of the best moments come characters recalling what they got up to in the first film. If it wasn't for the nostalgia and the warmth of the characters which was built from the first film, I would have struggled to laugh more than once or twice.
Although I expected that it be as good as the other, I still hoped for a movie fun that could have at least tried to break slightly from the first model. Unfortunately it fails to achieve this goal and the result is a distinctly average film which is just been redesigned. I would rather have just watched the first has once more to be honest.
