Searched multiple times for this thread. Couldn't find it. If one does exist, just merge this thread into the other one.
Looks exactly the same as the first, except it's in Taiwan and they're missing a kid.
Let's hope and pray it won't suck.
Ken Jeong, don't fail me.
Hangover was a movie that really didn't need a sequel. I dunno, maybe this will surprise me, but as of now I have low expectations for it.
Also, kinda sucks that they apparently wrote out the hooker/Ed Helms subplot from the first movie
It took me a long time to like the first one.
I saw it after all my friends, so all I did was buy into the hype of it being the funniest movie ever.
I hated it for the longest time.
Just a few weeks ago one of my friends got me to watch it with her, and I was oddly surprised to see I enjoyed it, so now I'm sort of looking forward to the sequel.
I think it'll be different (and good) enough to warrant the movie having been made.
To clarify, a Hangover sequel might have worked if they had a gotten a totally new cast of characters. But it's the same damn guys from the first movie in the exact same situation! I don't see how it can be any good, seeing as it's just the same movie over again.
And just so we're clear, the first Hangover was goddamned hilarious.
Well, I don't usually fully judge a movie until I see it.
When I see Part 2, and it turns out to have the exact same formula, same antics, etc., that's when I'll call it trash.
I also agree that The Hangover didn't need a sequel. A prequel, however…..
I thought Hang Over was funny. Never would have guessed they'll make a sequel though. I think they must have squeezed another plot (that still holds the title) from the first just to make this one. This will be very stupid if the "Hangover" theme will be out, and it will be just crap if they just make a carbon-copy of the first. I really wonder how they would pull this off good.
Watched Part 2 about 15 minutes ago.
It was pretty much EXACTLY the same as the first one, only in a different location, different jokes, (a lot) more shock humor.
But I'll be damned if I didn't laugh like 20 times during this movie. For me, it was on par, if not slightly better than the first one.
And Ken Jeong did NOT fail me. Mr. Chow needs his own spin-off movie. I demand it.
And, damn, it really does suck to be Stu. You'll know what I mean when you see the strip club scene.
I enjoyed the first film, so hopefully this will be on par or better.
A Surprise appearance of Crystal The Monkey at the premiere :
!
I don't understand why the critics are hating on this so much. I mean yea, everyone likes a creative sequel, however I think they did a very creative thing with the same plot outline. It wasn't exactly the same, just the basic idea; guys get drunk and drugged, lose a friend and don't remember anything from the previous night while having to go to a wedding. Stu gets something shocking done to his body, and an animal is involved.
But I thought it was very creative. They made Allen even more creepy(if possible) and gave Stu even more screen time(which is great because I love Ed Helms). Had a lot of shocking gross out humor and may have had just one too many penises, however it was amazingly funny.
! Yes, they used the same plot points, but in a creative way. Allen was shown to be insanely jealous of Teddy breaking up 'The Wolf Pack' and drugged the marshmallows with his medicine to have the gang to himself. Doug grabs the marshmallows early, Allen loses track of which bag was drugged and which wasn't, and they all get drugged.
! It was fun trying to solve the mystery with them as they searched for Teddy. Who knew Allen's cards about Taiwan would help them find him.
Only complaint I have his not having Doug with them. Yea it would have messed up the "3 best friends" song, but still Doug was the reason Allen met them and it would have been cool to see his character develop since we saw so little of him in the first film.
And Chao and the monkey…just win at life. Just win.
Phew, this is great. I was pretty shocked at the rotten tomato rating and thought it was soulless carbon copy garbage. And I was REALLY looking forward to the sequel. So you guys think it was as funny and creative as the first one?
Edit: Oh shit, Chow is in the movie!?! Epic win!!!
I smiled a bit at the trailer, but it's still the same damn plot, different locations.
A Hangover prequel? fine, but not a sequel.
Ken Jeong said on Twitter that the monkey in the movie was the same one who played Annie's Boobs.
Crystal was in Night at the Museum as well, iirc.
Surprised nobody posted more in here, anyway they're making another one:

This could possibly be over doing it, though I liked the second one even though I don't think it was as good as the first.
So long as they CHANGE the formula this time, it should be okay.
Well, i've read an article before that the director wanted to make a trilogy of the series, though i wonder who'se wedding will it be next time…...Alan?
About the movie, i watched it at the premiere and found it hilarious. Though repetitive from the first one, this one upped the obstacles they had to encounter. Too bad that Doug didn't get a higher role, though. I find this movie more enjoyable with alot of people just so that you can share their "ooh" and "aah"s together, compared to when I watched the first one alone.
! I remember that the part that got the biggest reactions in my movie theater was when it was revealed that Ed Helms got fucked by a trans-stripper in the ass. The laughs lasted at least a half a minute. That and -"I have a demon inside of me." -"Yes, he has semen inside of him."
I don't understand why the critics are hating on this so much.
Most critics tend to have absolutely zilch sense of humour. Unless its the driest most tight-arsed witticism quoted out of some 19th century English novel.
Exception: The Big Bang Theory.
Because it's "intelligent" humour!
I found this to be an average movie of averageness. Felt too much the same and not enough funny bits in it. I had more laughter watching 'Not Going Out' when I came back. A bit of a shame really.
Well their are exceptions of course.
But it would be nice to see some simple comedies get some form of credit/appreciation for just making people laugh once in a while. Regardless of the content being used.
No, you are right. Most critics are old men who think every comedy is low brow trash with no deeper message within the humor and when something like TBBT or Glee comes along it's suddenly amazing, ground-breaking and "deep".
It's why I usually read reviews for serious movies, but ignore them for comedies.
So, I saw this movie today.
I haven't seen the first one, but it has to be much funnier than this, right? Because I didn't really find this movie that funny.
Maybe it's because with all the hype the first movie got, my expectations were too high.
Not that it didn't make me laugh here and there.
But…the first one was better, right?
This movie was bad. The first one is great, but this movie is just terrible. It made me angry. One of the only films ever that I felt I deserved a refund.
I really wanted to like it. I really did

Many fans believe the first one is better while others believe both films are equal while a certain few think the second one was funnier than the first.
Maybe watching the sequel before the first one might dampen your opinion a little.

Well, you gotta give us a reason why.
Was it because they used the same formula, was it the lack of good cameos, or was it the penises that ruined it for you?
Exact same movie.
With 20% more dicks.
This movie sucks and I think it's self-explanatory
Which goes against the people who dig it I guess!
I didn't care for the first movie at all. So I probably wouldn't like this one.
If this was the first hangover i'd have enjoyed it much more. But since it's the second one it's just the same things, new city. I laughed a lot though but i was still a bit disappointed. I think it's just as good a comedy as the first one, but it's a horrible sequel.
I think I'll stick with my guns and see Panda 2 or Tree of Life (god willing it actually at a close theater) this weekend. Still, bummed to see that the reviews are so…iffy.
I saw this without seeing the first one too. I got locked out of my apartment for 7 hours and the xmen movie and kung fu panda 2 (haven't seen the first one either) were at 7, and it was 5.
Overall, I think some of it was funnier to me because I hadn't seen the movie. I treated all the name and events drops like how Hot Tub Time Machine kept referring to another event that no one speaks about. Which I think made this funnier, and more fresh.
Overall, I think there's around 8 or 9 really good laughs in the movie, and most of them are the credits. Most of the humor is very "heh, its funny" but not a laugh out loud moments.
"Leslie Chow" and "Alan" are probably my least favorite characters mostly because their too gimmicky. I felt like I've seen this characters before and they feel too formulaic, which I guess the whole movie was from what I've read.
The best part was my friend. Who feel asleep during the part with the
! trans-striper part. Only to wake up at the credits when they show the pictures of her and her penis hanging out. "THE FUCK!"
