Everything feels familiar

The Hangover Part II (2011)

Directed by Todd Phillips this comedy sequel again stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms and Zach Galifianakis. This time the boys are in Thailand for another wedding and of course things go crazy on a night out.

In the case of this sequel it is pretty much trying to keep to the same formula that made the first film a success over trying anything new. There are funny moments and the plot works fine but essentially being very similar to the original does take a lot of the shine off this film. The biggest omission from this film is any sort of character development, it is just the same guys in the same situations and no one really learns anything or changes by the end.

3/5
