The Hangover Part II

Movie: The Hangover Part II

Genre: comedy

Synopsis: If you saw the first Hangover, you know the basic plot.  A group of friends are partying the night before one of them gets married.  His time they are in Thailand  The next morning, all but one of them wake up in a hotel room recovering from a drunken binge, with no memory of what happened, and missing one their group.  The balance of the movie follows them around as they try to reconstruct what happened and find/rescue the missing friend (this time around, this is the 16-year-old brother of the bride).

My two cents: I went into this movie with low expectations.  I loved the first one, but did not see how they could do a sequel and keep it fresh.  I am happy to say – they did it.  I might even like this one better than the first.  Once again, Zach Galifianakis stole every scene he was in (at least among the humans).  Every time he opens his mouth, you want to gasp at the wildly inappropriate things he says.  Replacing the tiger this time around is . . . well, it is another animal . . . and it is hilarious.

Bottom line: if you liked the first Hangover, you should not be disappointed by this sequel.
