A few weeks ago,I saw INSIDE THE ACTORS STUDIO with guest Bradley Cooper(this originally aired before this movie was released).At the end,he was asked "What can you tell us about THE HANGOVER PART II?",he replied "So far,I love it".I know he has to say that to promote the movie,but he was being interviewed by his acting teachers!And I think they knew the truth.

Have to disgree here.Not that I think she's a good actress,but her role in this movie was so small I couldn't judge her at all.Although she might get nominated since this isn't the only contender she's in.

Well, time to review this one.
 
The good:
 
Ed Helms' song, "Alantown: It's one of the higlights of the movie.
 
The monkey: She was awesome.
 
The "little kid" scene: For those that ahevn't seen it, there's a scene where Alan has a flashback where he and the rest of the wolfpack (and Mr. Chow) are children. To me, this is best part of the movie.
 
The bad:
 
Jamie Chung's acting: Sure, she's hot, but a Real World reject an actress does not make.
 
The gross nudity: The first one had some gross-ness, but it doesn't compare to this. Mr. Chow's button-shaped ding-dong and the trannie strippers were the low-lights.
 
The ugly:
 
Zach and Ken's disapointing performances: They were the best parts of the first one, yet they're two of the worst parts. If they weren't two of the best parts of the first one, they'd be in the bad alongside Jamie.
 
The general rehashy-ness of the movie: I called Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides a half-ass cash-in, but it's got nothing on this in terms of half-assed cash-ins. There's at least one aspect that isn't a retread. That is...
 
The pointlessness: I don't mean pointless in terms of its existance, I mean in terms of story. See, if they found Doug at the beginning of the first one, they'd still be in trouble. By not finding him first, they were able to resolve all their problems first. With this, however, if they found Teddy first, then all the broblems would be solved.
 
Typing that all out changed my views of the movie. At first, I thought it was like On Stranger Tides: a half-assed cash-in that was entertaining. But, me writing all my gripes made me realize how not-good the movie is. Grade C+.
 
Next up: The Rite!

As for "Hangover 2" being the highest grossing R rated movie, just because something is successful, that doesn't mean it's a good product. saturnwatcher once pointed out, even pet rocks sold well back in the day, that doesn't make them a great product. And I for one, think this movie should go under Worst Remake/Rip-Off for being almost the exact same movie as the first.

WHY NOT JUST "THE HANGOVER 2"?IS IT THAT MUCH OF A COPY?(***/*****):


Starring:Bradley Cooper,Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis as the guys who suffer from a HANGOVER...again.


No spoilers here.


So what is the problem with this movie?It's pointless that to give Ken Jeong a bigger role if he's going to be underused.And Helms's "girly screaming" routine gets annoying after a while.

We need to get things straight.Yes,the now called "Wolfpack" goes through the same problems yet again and it feels like they must be idiots for not learning their lesson,right?Wrong.First of all,what happens to them is an accident.And anyway,it's not like we're supposed to sympathize with them.We root for them because we want them to find they're friends.

Also,yes,the movie repeats the formula from the first one,but it doesn't repeat the jokes.Although,at some points that would've been the safer choice,because some of the jokes are crueler.I don't blame Todd Phillips,who this time wrote a lot more.I blame his co-writers Craig Mazin and Scot Armstrong,who,based on their resumes,bring the wrong type of humour.Mazin's cruel jokes work for spoofs because they're…well,spoofs.And Armstrong's humour is as lame as always.

Repeating the formula is lazy,specially during the last 1/3 where it's more obvious.The final moments are basically word by word the same.But this doesn't take 100% the element of surprise.You still don't know how things will turn out.You'll know STU will solve the mystery,but you won't know the answer.And…drum roll…it's funny!Not as funny as the first one,but who expected it to be?The cast remain it's chemistry and comedic timing.

This does ruin the first one.Not in the sense that you can't enjoy it next time you watch it,but…well,the first one,along movies like WEDDING CRASHERS and THE 40 YEAR OLD VIRGIN were a step up for raunchy comedies,showing that that they can be well made.But this movie is a step down.Not because it's not a technical wonder(those other movies aren't either),but because everything good in this movie probably comes from simple good luck.And after the mystery is revealed,you'll feel empty and can't wait until the movie is over.

Oh yeah, he can, especially since I believe that Big Mommas, Transformers, and Zookeeper are very strong contenders for Worst Picture. However, I would nt be surpised if the Worst Supporting Actor award ends up going to Stallone............. again *sigh*
 
I think Mike Tyson shoiuld also be up there on Worst Supporting Actor. What he did in the movie is pretty close to what HeadRazz thought of Liza in Sex and the City 2.

To quote Roger Ebert(**/****): "The MPAA's elaboration of the film's R rating says the movie has "pervasive language, strong sexual content including graphic nudity, drug use and brief violent images.Also other stuff. Maybe their space was limited?"

Do you think this will be another sequel that's pretty much the same as the original?
