For those of you who loved the first film, here is The Hangover 2;
Ok, so I'll admit that I loved the first Hangover. It was a deliciously twisted comedy involving a mysterious path into remembering their forgotten night. Well, if that sounds familiar, you'll find some definite familiarity with this film, as they follow the exact same plot method. But does that make it bad?
One of the things that really worked for the first film was that, as a comedy, the 'straight man' character was the one the guys had to find, keeping him out of the way to allow the 3 crazy characters to really go at it for comedic effect. But this time around, one of the 3 guys, Ed Helms' character Stu, is the one with everything to lose, which should make him the straight man, but he cant do that for comedy sake. It leaves the whole dynamic a little skewed, but the hilarity is still there.
For many people, the monkey (named Crystal in real life) will steal the show. She did for me. In fact most of the moments I really laughed at involved her.
Is it better than the first film? Not really. Is it still hilarious? Absolutely. The Wolfpack is back.
