Amazon.co.uk Review
Just when you were starting to sober up after The Hangover… along comes The Hangover Part II--a deft dose of hair of the dog that will keep fans of the original screaming with laughter once again. Director Todd Phillips brings back his great cast--Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, and Ed Helms for another splendid exercise in debauchery--and its painful aftermath. And perhaps surprisingly, The Hangover Part II keeps the laugh levels high. While the element of surprise is not here in the sequel, writer Craig Mazin, Scot Armstrong, and Phillips have upped the shock factor, resulting in humor that's sometimes not exactly politically correct, but is fall-down funny anyway. In The Hangover Part II, Stu (Helms) is marrying a Thai-American woman (Jamie Chung), and the entire wedding party is flying to Thailand for the ceremony. Quicker than you can say "bachelor brunch," the boys are off on some kind of mystery adventure that results in some pretty serious, and pretty hilarious repercussions. (There's an unfortunate tattoo incident, one not easily covered up; there's an unexplained monkey--in a Rolling Stones shirt--now added to the entourage; and one of the group is missing.) The setup is familiar, but the ensemble of actors is so confident, their chemistry so easy, that the viewer enjoys their long, strange trip with bust-out-loud laughs. And you can't ask for much more in a buddy comedy. --A.T. Hurley

Format:Blu-ray
I watched this movie with expectation that it wasn't going to be very good. Although I was slightly more impressed than I expected, it really isn't great. If the first film had never existed, then part II would be better received because in effect, this is the same film.
Don't get me wrong; it's not boring, just not original. It's perfect for a Saturday night when all you want to do is relax and have a (bit of) a laugh. The acting is fine and the script is ok- it's just the fact that the plot is pretty much the same.
I just wish the original could have been left alone as I feel that the sequel has damaged part ones reputation a bit.

If there was ever a shining example of why NOT to make a sequel... this is it. Its appalling.
First one was funny, this one is just crude and nasty. The characters have totally lost their loveability.
We didn't laugh once throughout the whole film.
Sorely disappointing.

Like many have said, the film is pretty similar to the first Hangover film, though this didn't make it unwatchable it did make it predictable which was part of the charm of the first film, that I couldn't always guess just where Doug was or what exactly had just happened. Nethertheless, I still laughed and that's all I can ask of a comedy really, just don't go expecting anything mind-blowing :)

Yes, it is a bit stupid at times
Yes, it does sometimes does try a bit too hard
But does that stop it being what it was... Read more

3 stars or 4?
Somewhere between, that's where. Sure, part two copies part part one, but that was so darned good, why spoil a formula that works? Read more

Twice as Funny
Yes its the same formula but if it aint broke why fix it. Leslie Chow shines in this hilarious sequel to the hit comedy.

Wait, haven't I seen this before?
This movie is basically the same as the first one, but less funny. I loved the original hangover, and personally think they made a mistake with the installment.

Carbon copy of the first movie - very similar storyline although set in Thailand rather than Vegas. However with the exception of a couple of moments this film is completely devoid... Read more

Self-referential, but still funny.
'It made lots of money - we need another one'. That's the curse of Hollywood. Sometimes it works, others it doesn't. Read more

Funny Stuff
Good for a laugh although there are a few gross parts... But to be expected from another stag do with the Hangover guys.

Great sequel
If you liked Hangover then you will enjoy this one too. Its consistently funny and bizarre and has many parallells to the first movie, in a good way. Bradley and Co are smashing. Read more
