Review - The Hangover II

The Wolfpack is back! This time, they're heading to Thailand for Stu's wedding... History repeats itself as they wake up in another city and have no recollection of what happened... and have lost Teddy, Stu's bride-to-be's baby brother...

The first movie was of similar storyline... they went to Vegas for their friend's bachelor party but winds up losing him and they have to retrace their steps to find the friend... even the conclusion was similar...

I did not get to see this movie until after it got the Golden Globe nomination... and yes, it was quite different from the rest of the summer stuff... but with this movie, because of the familiar retreads... felt like there was nothing special about the movie... has the been there, done that feel... well, obviously, coz it's a sequel... but some sequels are quite fresh...

To tell you the truth, I was not really inspired to review much these days... Not sure if it's coz of puasa or the movies are not that good... sigh...

Anyway, The Hangover 2 is not without its good points... the same formula that made the first one good, still applies here... the stars' chemistry together is a wonder to watch...

Unfortunately, Zach Galifianakis is slowly starting to carve a niche for himself as the uber weird guy in all the movies... I first saw him on Tru Calling... and was glad to see him making a name for himself... but with the two Hangovers and that movie with Robert Downey Jr... he'll soon be typecast for sure...

Other than that, it was just enjoyable... leave brain at the door and enjoy... :)
