MOVIE REVIEW : HANGOVER 2

Share

HANGOVER 2



Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) are back. This time they travel to Thailand for Stu’s wedding. After what happened in Vegas, they are playing it safe, this time and are planning simple pre-wedding brunch. But things don’t go as planned.

This film is darker , but is almost a scene for scene remake of the first.

PRO’S

  • There were some very funny moments in the film.

CON’S

  • There were very few original funny situations, the majority were simply copied from the first movie and pasted here.
  • Some scenes in the movie were unnecessarily crude, instead of being funny, they were just disgusting.
  • The producers of this movie had no original ideas; even the music was the same as the first movie.
  • No meaningful additions were made to the cast, just the same characters ….and mike Tyson …really ? it was nice when he was in the first one , as it was so unexpected . But in this one, it’s a case of been there done that.
  • The ending of the movie was exactly the same as the first one.

CONCLUSION

If you have watched the first Hangover, there is no real reason to watch this one, as it is basically a carbon copy. It does have some hilarious moments, though they are few are far between. It is a movie to watch, have a few laughs, then forget about it, unlike its predecessor which I have personally watched over 10 times.

  1. This movie is nice!the main idea is about having a bachelor party,getting drunk(hangover) and get in trouble and have to sort out the mess fast in time for the wedding.

  2. :( i was soo looking foward to watching this movie but after reading this and hearing what other people say i might aswell just watch the first one again :/

  3. Oh come on, it’s not that bad. But to some extent, I agree with the review,if you’ve watched the first one, no need to see this one. I personally preferred the first one, so funny! And seriously, the Mike Tyson part was so unneccessary, geez! By the time the movie finished, i felt a bit cheated.. felt like I was watching another version of the first.
