The Hangover Part II

The boys are back!
This time.. Stu is weeks away from his marriage to the love of his life Lauren!

The wedding is in beautiful Thailand and the boys have their heads in the right place this time around. The night before the wedding they have casual beers on the beach around a fire - just the boys and some beers.

They awaken to blistering hangovers in a mess of a 1-star hotel room in downtown Bangkok.
"...not again." - Phil (Bradley Cooper)

The wedding ceremony is fast approaching and the guys realize that they have no idea where Lauren's little 16 brother, Ted, is gone!!
Yet again, the guys have lost a friend and have no communication via cell phone. They endure a whole series of unfortunate circumstances to find the their lost friend.

Phil gets shot
Allen shaves his head
Stu gets a face tattoo
and Teddy.. well, you're going to have to watch and find out!

Allen's character really helps carry this film with his stupid one-liners and witty charm.

Overall, I wasn't entirely impressed with Hangover Part 2 because it was essentially the exact same story as part 1 except with a new setting and a couple different characters plugged into attention grabbing scenes and sequences.
The awkward humor of this film did in fact keep me engaged and wanting more but the story was almost predictable.

If I we're to rate both The Hangover I & II, I would say:
 Part 1:  8.5/10
 Part 2:  8/10

I would definitely recommend seeing this movie if you enjoyed Part 1!

Sincerely,

EH
