The Plot \u2013 with spoilers for the first movie <\/strong><\/p>\n

This time Doug (Justin Bartha) \u2013 the groom-to-be that the \u201cwolfpack\u201d Alan (Zach Galifianakis<\/a>), Stu (Ed Helms) and Phil (Bradley Cooper<\/a>) lost (in The Hangover<\/a>), is a happily married man. It has been two years since the ultimate Vegas adventure where the gang had got roofied, ended up waking with a severe memory loss, minus a groom, minus a teeth (from Stu), plus a tiger, and plus a baby Moreover Stu had gotten married to the mother of the baby, a beautiful prostitute (played by Heather Graham<\/a>).<\/p>\n

Somehow, they had made it to the wedding.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This time Stu is getting married in Thailand, to a beautiful Thai bride. Having learned his lesson, he is vehemently against a traditional bachelor party. Despite Phil\u2019s objections, Phil, Stu, Alan (despite a very unwilling Stu), Doug and the 16 year-old, Harvard pre-med Teddy -Stu\u2019s brother-in-law-to-be- (Mason Lee) fly to Thailand and meet the girls. The problem is, Alan has absolutely hated Teddy. But Stu naively thinks everything is in control, since there won\u2019t be a party. But Phil talks him into having one drink at the beach. One beer can\u2019t hurt right?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But the next day, Phil wakes up on the floor of a dodgy hotel room. Alan\u2019s head was shaven and Phil has a ridiculous tattoo on his face. There is no sign of Doug, and they find a finger with a Harvard ring on it. There is also a weird monkey in the room. They can\u2019t remember anything and Stu is about to have a heart attack over what might have happened to Teddy. Oh, and they find Chow -the ridiculous guy from the first movie (Ken Jeong). What the hell are they going to do now?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They establish that Doug is safe and sound at the hotel, so it is up to the three of them to re-track their actions from last night, find Teddy, deal with Chow and Chow\u2019s enemies, the havoc they caused in Bangkok streets, monks and more\u2026<\/p>\n

Is it a match for The Hangover?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Writing a good comedy is really hard. Writing a comedy such as The Hangover<\/a> is even harder. I laughed my butt off through the entire movie, and I don\u2019t usually like it when things get crude (except maybe when Todd Philips writes it). So undeniably, my expectations were high. While I had a good time at the theater last night, I was pretty disappointed that I didn\u2019t get any laughing cramps.<\/p>\n

Now, the movie is entertaining. I am not going to say I didn\u2019t have any fun. I liked the references made to the first movie. \u201cIt has happened again\u2026\u201d, \u201cThe roof!\u201d. The drug dealing, smoking monkey was fun to watch. Watching the gang being beaten by a monk was funny. But\u2026. The magic wasn\u2019t just there this time. It was cruder, darker and this time Zach Galifianakis<\/a> annoyed me most of the time. And am I the only one who thinks Stu definitely needs some therapy?<\/p>\n

It is definitely watchable. It is just not that great.<\/p>\n

Currently 7.0\/10 on IMDB. I give it a 5.0. If I don\u2019t compare it to the first, it gets a 6.0.<\/p>\n
