    May 27, 2011 - Hangover 2 review #1

    Spoiler alert!!!!!!!!!!













    Meh, almost same exact plot. Some stumbling editing and dragging scenes. Overall entertaining but defiantly not as good as the first, big surprise. I thought Pres. Clinton was supposed to make a cameo? As in the last, the pictures from the night before are great.

    Rent it.

    A bunch of yuppies can't hold their liquor again, right? I figured I'd seen that once already. I know a great number of people liked the first one, but I thought it was sporadically funny at best.

    I saw it. There was a lot more Alan but pretty much the same as the first but not as unique.

    LOL! It is still Barney Fife (just a different pic of him). Should I go back to my old one? Everytime I change it people tell me to go back...

    Went to see it, knowing I was getting a carbon copy of the original plot, and it is a carbon copy just moved to bangkok. Cant say I didnt enjoy it, it had its moments, but overall I would have prefered if they gave it a fair bit of a change. Not as funny as the first jsut on the basis it was the same movie. The new pictures at the end credits were the best part of the whole film. overall, worth a look but nothing new.

    I don't know what you guys were expecting going into this film. I knew for a fact what i was gonna get and i was killing myself laughing.

    But I mean, you can say the same thing about pretty much every single sequel ever done. Ghostbuster, BTTF, Jurassic park....

    I really liked it. Yes it was pretty much the same plot. But that didn't bother me I knew I was going to get that. I still laughed at many of the jokes.

    I also thought it was all right, (although now I want a chain-smoking monkey). Not as good as the first one. At times it did seem repetitive, but then again how different can the formula get?

    I'm Mike Tyson, I've seen everything

    As pretty much all of you have said, its pretty much identical to the first one, although this one took me a little bit longer to figure out where he was trapped. I think Mr Chow stole the movie whenever he was in any scenes just imo, and the ending was rushed. But all-in-all I liked it.

    Go back. I couldn't even tell that was Don Knotts.

    Hell, for a long time I actually thought it was Brad in the pic, lol. Talk about rude surprise when I actually saw what he really looked like!

    Agreed. I was surprised at how much they followed the first one. Stu's song was so disappointing. I admit though the Stu hooker/dancer part made me laugh out loud

    I thought it was hilarious!!!!!!!!!! I expected it to just be a re hash of the first one so I didn't go in with any expectations of anything but seeing a funny movie

    I went in knowing it was going to repeat the formula of the first film. That said, it wasn't an exact carbon copy... but, it definitely was the same basic premise. It had some twists and deviated a bit from the safety of the first film a bit more.

    ...but, I left disappointed. It lacked the charm of the first movie - it was just missing something. Perhaps it was too pointed at times and stretched a bit too far for a gag. The first Hangover was the perfect "boys comedy" ala Animal House and (to an extent) Old School before it... H2 missed the mark.

    saw this yesterday, not impressed not as good as the first and basically the same concept, i can understand the reasoning for making it that but still think this franchise is on a slippery slope

    agreed i didnt think it was a clever or as charming as the first, seemed to lack a sense of direction as well
