You know the drill, what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but what happens when similar festivities take place in a different city? You get The Hangover Part II.
It’s someone else’s turn to walk down the aisle! Despite being determined to not let anything go wrong, which means refusing to have a bachelor party, Stu (Ed Helms) somehow finds himself lost and confused with Phil (Bradley Cooper) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) in Bangkok two days before he is supposed to be married. Once again, the wolf pact has no memory of their night and you guessed it: someone is missing in a foreign city.
The Hangover Part II forces the characters to rely on odd clues and unusual people to trigger their memory in hopes of finding out exactly what took place. The characters and audience must both work backwards to find out where their friend is and what the hell happened to them.
Since this is the sequel, the audience is already familiar with the characters. Stu is sweet and boring-unless he’s drunk. Phil is the experienced bad boy who keeps the men calm in crisis, knowing exactly what to do and when to do it. And Alan, well he’s Alan! He’s reckless, spontaneous and overall, missing a few screws, but somehow you can’t shake him. Basically, the audience knows what to expect and so this time around, the characters and their adventures have to be more extreme (and crude.) For the most part, they are.
The Hangover Part II had some pretty big shoes to fill and overall, the movie did a good job. Although there isn’t many laugh out loud moments, you will chuckle and giggle throughout and you will definitely have your jaw drop repeatedly from shock.
Go out and see this movie, I give the film a 7.5/10
