The Hangover Part II
The team from 2009's hilarious The Hangover return - cast Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Ken Jeong, even Mike Tyson, plus director Todd Phillips.
This time Phil, Stu, Alan and Doug travel to Bangkok for Stu’s (Helms) wedding. After the bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu's taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. But one quiet drink before bed turns into a night worthy of a sequel. The next morning they awake with baldness, Tyson facial tats, a monkey and a missing brother of the bride-to-be...

Reviews & comments
Variety
pressThe rote professionalism on display verges on cynicism, and despite some occasional sparks, this ranks as a considerable disappointment.
TVNZ
pressLike any night on the town, the memories are more fun, rather than the reality of what went down.
Total Film
pressDarker and meaner than the original but just as funny and horrifying. And like the best stag do’s, sure to be recalled in the pub for weeks afterwards…
The New York Times
pressThe funniest, most reckless moments in The Hangover Part II, the largely mirthless sequel to the 2009 hit "The Hangover," take place in the final credits.
Roger Ebert
pressIs this some kind of a test? The Hangover, Part II plays like a challenge to the audience's capacity for raunchiness.
Empire Magazine
pressAccording to Phillips, the 'Part II' in the title is a nod to the second "Godfather," which matched the genius of its forerunner. Ironically, his own sequel offer is one you should refuse.
Enjoyed the first, but didn't expect to see it again! Like IRON MAN 2 and SHERLOCK HOLMES 2, this seems more like a retread than a sequel. In the rush to get it out hot on the success of the first somebody forgot to spend a wee bit of time on the script... Still, fun in parts, but it lft me with a sense of deja vu which (like the dreadful Tony Scott, Denzel...
I laughed hard sure, but the whole thing seemed more like a play-by-play of the first movie. Favourite characters like Alan, who in the first was likeable, now seems annoying. Where the first film didn't go OTT, this one did and even at the end went into the must-avoid realm of cheesy. The funniest part was the end photo snapshots...
I loved the first movie, but thought the sequel was pure drivel. Why did they bother? Maybe it got better after the first hour, but I'd had enough by then and walked out. I certainly wasn't the only one finding it lacking in humour as I didn't hear a single laugh from anyone in the cinema.
Loved this movie. And I loved the first one. So they used the same formula for the sequel.. Why fix what ain't broke? It obviously works. Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong stole the show in this one. Shock factor's pretty high, but its a fun movie. Its been a while since I've laughed so hard at the movies, and walking out of the theatre at the end, we were...
Almost exactly the same as the first one with not quite as much magic, still some decent laughs though
The film was ok, and had some good laughs, but did we really need it? No. It's just the same as the first one just set in a different country and a different person getting married, and a different person getting lost...
Watched it on release day and laughed hard. The references to the first were well done and as usual Alan garner was the highlight of the movie. Highly recommend this movie for anyone who enjoyed the first. However Mike Tyson his cameo was completely a waste of time.
