Review of The
Hangover 2
The best
thing about this movie is that is wasn’t any worse than I thought it would be.
The Hangover
2 blurs the lines between sequel and remake. Same characters, same story, new
location. To recap: Somebody’s getting married. Three characters wake up with
no recollection of what happened. Someone is missing and they have to piece
together what happened. Some weird shit and bad puns happen along the way. Zack
Gigglefecus falls over stuff, Ed Helms screams and makes faces, Brad Cooper has
blue eyes. Fade out.
The script
asks Zack to do a little too much and exploits his inability to act. The
surprise of the tattoo was over about three months before the movie hit the
theaters, so we didn’t really need the reveal they gave it. The movie was
filmed in Shanghai but was written in Writers Contrivance Village. Be prepared
for a lot of sperm humor. Though it does play Downeaster Alexa almost in its
entirety on the flight overseas and Ed Helms plays a parody of Allentown. That
alone earned it back a bug and a half. 4 bugs (out of 10)
