Hangover 2 -2011

What the F*&%*!! in a bad way.

Bangkok is known for knock offs, as many a stingy Chennai fashionista knows. The perfect copy of that horrendously expensive Vuitton bag at a tenth of the price. The writers of Hangover (1 or 2 doesn't make a difference) have captured that quality perfectly. It's an exact duplicate of the first part, except for the fact that it is made in Bangkok. The same jokes, the same one liners, the same situations. Instead of pulling out a tooth, an extremely irritating Stu gets a tattoo (ha ha) and gets laid by a hooker (with a small expected twist) They loose Teddy( not a bear but a cute 16 yr old brother of the bride) and they find a monkey instead of a tiger and we get to see a lot of penises, including Chows shitake mushroom tasting one. (don't even ask) There were absolutely no laugh out loud moments, no surprises and no 'Alan' moments too. Even the cast didn't look like they were having any fun. Even you wouldn't find it too nice if you were shown only a shitty hotel, the roof of a building and a single beach in the whole of lovely Thailand.Oh - there is a cute monk too who is funny only at the expected final photo montage. Shame on you Hangover writers.
