Here are my thoughts on that movie: The movie opens exactly the same way as the Part 1. This is a recurring theme throughout the entire movie. By the time the movie is over you've watched Part 1 of 'The Hangover' again. There are 2 things that have changed: The location is different and the picture reel during the credits is different. All in all I would say this movie is quite a disappointment!
The dialogue is by far not as good as during Part 1. The jokes aren't either that funny or a remake of the ones in Part 1. The wedding rehearsal dinner stands out as a scene of social awkwardness. While we watch an copy of Part 1 we meet a slew of characters, that actually don't do anything to the story. We meed Mr. Chow from Part 1 again. Their former nemesis has suddenly become Alan's BFF. No real explanation is given for that. That probably is one if the main reasons why that doesn't work for me. It's just way over the top to be even remotely convincing. Besides that the character of Mr. Chow does very little to propel the story.
There is something about the main characters in 'The Hangover - Part 2' that just doesn't work. Stu is freaking out every 5 minutes for no real reason. Phil on the other hand is just there. He doesn't seem to have much of a character definition. And then of course there is Alan. He just seems way too outrageous and crazy compared to the outer main characters.
After several hits and misses the movie follows the exact same path as Part 1. They find the missing Ted again and barely manage to make it to the wedding in time. We have another appearance of Mike Tyson, that didn't seem to have much of a purpose, except the fact that he had an appearance in Part 1.
All in all an funny movie. On a scale of 1 to 10, I probably would give it a 4.5!!
