Lost and without a clue, the crew is at it again. But this time the stakes are higher and the city is bigger and more dangerous. Welcome to the city of Bangkok the city of squallier (As Chow puts it). Waking up without a clue as to what happened the night prior and again someone in the crew is lost. It is up to Phil, Stew and hapless Allen to find the lost person in the city where crime is rampant, whore houses and bars are a plenty and monkeys deal blow.
Many many people I have listened to have told me "Not as good as the first one." "Oh it wasn't funny at all."
All I have to tell you is, go into this movie with your expectations not set. This is the flaw of people going to see a sequel. They walk into a movie with these ULTRA OMEGA Grand expectations and when the movie fails to deliver they act like they were taken for a ride.
Very Very few sequels live up to the potential of their originating film franchise. Mainly because producers and directors feel like they have to out do themselves in the next installment and abandon the formula that won them success with their first movie. Hangover Part 2 does not do that, same premise altered story but it works because there was really only a few over the top things in the story.
Rating this movie, I give it an eight out of ten. Not nine because it does have some factors to it that make it not as good. But baring the problems, it is good mindless fun. The ending to the main story is slightly predictable but that is okay. Go and see this movie, judge it for yourself. But do yourself a favor and unset your expectations.
