Hangover 2: part two (2011)

One of the summers most anticipated films was The Hangover 2. I was having trouble staying awake today and I found a torrent of a pretty decent bootleg so i figured all i had to lose was time. If only i'd known!

If you've seen the first Hangover movie then you have also seem the Hangeover part two. It's the same movie! I'm pretty sure they just took the first film and used the lasso tool from their movie editing software (for those who aren't film editors from hollywood the lasso tool is used to trace over stuff and cut it out). Anyway, they used the lasso tool and cut out all the characters and then put them into some stock footage of bangcock. This is literally what it takes to make a sequel these days!



They threw in a few scenes that were cut from the first film so it'd seem new to your average movie audience and they replaced the baby with a monkey. They also CGIed in an asian kid to hang out with thtem in some scenes to give it a more eastern flavor but they screwed up because in one scene he suddenly turned into an old man in a wheel chair without explanation. Did the director even watch the final cut or was he too busy trying to think of a way to make a third one with out actually having to pay the actors or writers anything??

Also their jokes seem to be mostly people falling down or cussing. That's it??? If I wanted to see someone fall down and cuss id put a bunch of ice cubes on the stairs and then call grandma up to my room (but i'd be secretly watching behind a chair or something). But I don't want to do that becaues it's possible i'd get grounded.

The fact that a "special edition" of a movie is passed off as a sequel and is one of the most anticipated movies of the year shows how much people either hate themselves or dont care about movies. I must say this film doesn't deserve any praise, for its lack of ideas, overuse of CGI to super impose the actors over cheap chinese stock footage andf for giving me ideas that could possibly get me grounded i must give this my lowest possible score, ** two stars.
