The Hangover Part II

In the first half it is much better, funnier and more polished than the first film, while in the second half it is a bit weaker. The result is classically funny evening's entertainment for a wide audience. The only thing the series could fail on is the stereotypical repetition of the same idea, and so one can only hope that in the coming sequel(s) they don't run out of imagination and slip into the abyss of boredom and wringing glory from a stale idea.

The first film was such a grown and sweaty American redneck, whilst the second is spoiled rice pudding that can overcome its predecessor in every way - except in that which is most necessary, and that is humor and fun. The recycling of jokes leads to the fact that it is even a tiny bit more over the line, but also to the fact that what seemed natural and surprising in the first film is only affective and predictable here. I also really laughed at the final slideshow... As expected, The Hangover is becoming a boring franchise that will make the most of the good idea of a wolf pack and a large window. For some, that may be enough, but I say: a complete waste of time. (06/02/2011)

I was pleasantly surprised that the next Hangover would be in Bangkok. Although for such a beautiful city, there was surprisingly little of it. I'm starting to adore Zach G. because his acting is truly incredible. The second one lags a little (really just a little) in terms of the story, but it was still a party from start to finish. After Alan's toast, half the theater even started clapping. That doesn't happen that often. End credits photo collage even better than the one from Vegas! So I'm satisfied. (06/10/2011)

Yes, there are a few funny moments, but compared to the first installment, it is weaker in all respects and The Hangover Part II is just a bad copy of part one, not even trying to be different. Zach Galifianakis’s performance made me give it 3 stars instead of just 2. (01/10/2012)

Where Vegas surprised with a refreshing take on summer comedies and incorrect humour, Bangkok surprises by doing EXACTLY the same. In addition to the characters, the premise and the style of humour, all the twists and turns have also remained, and some scenes look as if Todd Phillips had shot them again but with a different background. Yeah, it’s still a lot of fun even a second time, but the element of surprise is irreparably lost, which is a shame. Ken Jeong jumping out of a car boot was funny in the first one, Ken Jeong jumping out of a freezer is funny in the second one, but then, after several experiences of deja-vu, you’re certain that he will jump out of somewhere and it’s no longer effective. And Alan’s transition from a typical “moron” to almost dangerously close to a “mentally ill wreck” is no so funny as it is sad. But still, thumbs a little up, I laughed, I did… (10/23/2011)
