Movie- The Hangover 2, Director-Todd Phillips, Starring-Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha. Rating ****1/2
Dear Readers,
In the sequel to the hit comedy 'The Hangover' the guys are back together for Stu's wedding. Although they try very hard to not repeat the Vegas adventure, they are soon in deeper than they could imagine. The setting is now Thailand, a pre-wedding drink on the beach of a resort hotel leads to geeky dentist Stu and mates waking up in a sleazy Bangkok hotel without Stu's future wife's 16-year-old nephew, but with a monkey, a facial tattoo, a load of dope, a severed finger and a dead Chinese gangster in their room.
First off, if you’ve already seen The Hangover, there is no need for you to go see The Hangover 2, because between the two films the only thing that has changed is the character focus and location. Instead of looking for Doug, the story revolves around finding Teddy in time to make it for Stu’s wedding. And instead of Vegas, the guys are running around the locales of Bangkok, following one false lead after another. Hangover 2 follows strictly in the footsteps of its predecessor; from Alan’s attachment to their helpless new member to the hostage crisis and Chow’s leaps from unexpected places, this film is a paint-by-numbers affair that while trying to recreate the magic of the first film, completely manages to miss what made it so special in the first place.
But don’t get me wrong, Hangover 2 is quite funny and major credit goes to Zach Galafianakis (Alan) for this. He is endearing, simple, and insane; in short he makes this movie. Without him, this movie would have completely failed.
Overall Hangover can be an exciting, adventurous and really funny if you are watching it for first time.
Regards,
Uv
Mee to excited for this movie
