The Hangover Part II
When filming the scene where Stu discovers the tattoo on his face, Bradley Cooper genuinely broke into laughter, and co-Writer and Director Todd Phillips decided to keep that take in the film.,The protagonists travel to the wedding resort at Krabi on Thailand's west coast from Bangkok by speedboat in a relatively short time. To travel from Bangkok to Krabi by sea would involve a 1,500-mile journey through the straits of Malacca via Singapore and would have taken them at least 48 hours, non stop, with additional fuel on board.,Stu Price: [to the lyrics of "Allentown"] Well, we're living here in Alan Town / And he's driven our lives into the ground / When we woke up we were wasted and drunk / Phil got shot... / We got beaten by a monk... / I was happy and my life was good / Getting married like a dentist should / Roasting marshmallows on a stick / I got fucked in the ass... / By a girl with a dick...
Alan: Ha ha ha, I remember that.
Stu Price: And we're living here in Alan Town / But they're taking Teddy's finger now... / And I'm pretty sure I'm gonna lose my shit /... and shoot Alan in the face /... and shoot myself.,One of the photos during the closing credits recreates the photo of General Nguyen Ngoc Loan executing Nguyen Van Lem.,As with the first part, the BBFC had issues with some photographs in the end credit sequence. To secure a "15" certificate, these photographs were cropped to hide the graphic nudity.,Featured in The Tonight Show with Jay Leno: Episode #19.146 (2011),Bad Man's World

By arrangement with Warner Music Group Film & TV Licensing,What made The Hangover fun and entertaining unfortunately leads to predicatability in The Hangover II. The only reason I got any enjoyment out of this movie at all was because I liked the characters in the first movie. I wish they had tried to do something fresh with the story and the characters, but it was the same old gags.

When I first saw the original Hangover, I thought the movie might become a classic comedy. But honestly after watching it a few times, it seems less funny where as many comedies you pick up on small things on multiple viewings that make the movie even funnier. With the Hangover, the element of surprise is lost the next time around and the story loses its appeal.

So taking what I just said into account, if you've watched the first movie multiple times and then have expectations that the second movie will be a fun adventure with fun surprises around the corner, you will be somewhat disappointed. The writers even wrote in another animal with the Monkey (Tiger first film) and baby with the old Monk (baby first film). The gags just didn't seem quite as funny the second time around.

There was a lot of hype leading to the release of this movie. In fact, right after the first film was released rumors that a second was on the way already surfaced. Really a disappointing film of what might have become a pretty fun movie franchise. Rating 6 of 10 and this is being nice because like I said, I got some enjoyment out of the film simply because seeing some of the same characters from the first movie was nostalgic.,
