The Hangover 2

legion · 05-31-2011, 06:23 PM

If you didn't like the first one, don't bother seeing this one. The humor will be lost on you. You will be grossed out. You will be offended.

However, if you did like the first one this one is worth seeing. And not just in the "it was a decent sequel" kind of way. If you thought they couldn't possibly top the first one, you'd be very, very wrong. Other than the whole blackout gag being repeated, it wasn't a rehash of the first movie. Fortunately, the commercials DID NOT ruin the funniest bits in the movie. (Actually, I think it would be against FCC regulations for them to attempt to.)

What if you didn't see the first one? Do you like humor that is wrong by every objective standard. Do you like being offended? This is your movie.

Do you like romantic comedies starring Hugh Grant or Kate Hudson? Do you think Jeff Foxworthy is the funniest guy on the Blue Collar tour? Does Bob Sagat offend you? This is not your movie. Pretend it was never made. Don't look at the posters in the theater. Turn off the TV when a commercial airs. It's too risky for you.

Works for me. Hangover II = not worth the admission. I'll wait for it on cable.

I keep hearing mixed reviews, which is a little odd. It seems that people love it or hate it.
I will wait to see it on demand at home.

Love it or hate it applied to the first one too, which I thought was so funny I nearly sharted myself.

Yeah, but Tom, you look naturally that way...

Absolutely love the first one...very lukewarm on the second

Haven't seen the first... Going to see the second later this week. Don't really care if it sucks or not, its an excuse to get out of the house.....

That and a redheaded friend of mine is bugging me to go...

I didn't think the first one lived up to the hype, but it certainly had its moments. Chow was probably the funniest thing about both movies.

Of course, they had to up the level of "disturbing" for the sequel.

The first one was loaded with great lines/scenes if you're predisposed to guy humor.

:there's a tiger in the bathroom"
"was that the baby's head?
"what's my tooth doing in your pocket?"
"really?" but you had to be there to get this one

I've read lots of reviews and this film doesn't sound like something I want to pay to see, but for none of the criteria you list. . . .(Okay, Bob Sagat is a douchebag, so you got me there.)

I saw the first one on the recommendation of far too many people, and I won't make that mistake twice.
