Movie Review; Hangover 2

If you did not like the first movie, you certainly will not enjoy the second. There were many times throughout the movie that equaled awkwardness with the audience. Many times laughs by the audience were half paced and much of the pushing jokes were ill.

Discontinuity error:The sequence where Stu (Ed Helms), is singing a song with a guitar on the boat was out of place. It was almost like the director thought it was just too good to not keep it in the movie. Where did the guitar come from? All the guys seemed in good spirits?...why, the scene before they were not.

The singing by Tyson was terrible, and poorly put together. It would of been a better mastery of writing to include Tyson in the underground seedy Bangkok scene vs. having him paid to sing/rap at the movie end.

While it was fun to see the "gang" back together again, it kinda takes away from originality of the first. The audience did not get a lot of the Bangkok jokes, let alone pin point where it is on a map.

Pro: Paul Giamatti is such a great actor
Con: The Character of Doug, yet again gets the worst on scene time of the group. If you are going to do a group movie, then include the whole group. Many of the photos that are in the movie credits were distasteful.


Star Rating: 6/10
