THE REVIEW:
When I saw the Hangover 2 trailer a couple weeks back I was jumping in my computer chair excited to see such a funny film make a much anticipated return. The first Hangover took everyone by surprise with the concept and how funny it was so when the sequel was coming I know everyone put a note in their blackberries, iPhone, HTC etc..
Before watching it I was wondering how they could make this Hangover even funnier than the first one (question on everyone's mind). After watching it I’m glad to say this part 2 does not try to outdo the first one, it just does a awesome job in matching it in funniness. To my delight the writers Craig Mazin & Scott Armstrong exceeded my expectations with all the surprises along the way.
It starts off a little slow with all the introductions but as soon as the craziness begun there was no stopping these guys. It’s wild, exciting fun and extremely entertaining. The gang end up somewhere completely different to where they were the day before, that’s when the retracing of their steps begun once again. The team of Phil, Stu, Alan & Mr Chow are characters made from comedy heaven. Their different approaches to situations are what makes it so enjoyable to watch and especially what they say. The racial slurs are just EPIC, every context they mention the word ‘Nigger’ is just so hilarious to listen and watch. Movie is set in Thailand and Director Phillips manages to capture the countries surroundings very well. #GoodCinematography.
Alan takes the #StarOfTheShow award because his character played by Galifianakis is absolute genius. It’s the things he says and the way he acts and thinks, literally a walking idiot. Without him I don’t think this film would have worked as good. He truly is a classic character that I enjoyed watching. Stu is another great character who’s not always up for a good time and would love the quiet life but comes to realise himself that he is a party animal at heart. Phil (Cooper) is a good character that holds the gang together through hard and clueless times. Mr Chow (Jeong) is a person you only had to hear him speak in order to start laughing. His accent and body gestures are too funny for words. #BrilliantCast.
#SpoilerAlert: i didnt like Mike Tyson showing up at the end, he was not really needed. i had an awkward moment watching this used to be beast of a boxer on stage singing like he was (maybe thats just me). *shrugs*
OVERALL: Fun Times @ The Cinema.
STAR RATINGS OUT OF 5: 4.5
ONE FAVOURITE MOMENT IN THE FILM:
The scene where the gang (Wolfpack as Alan like to call them) go into the strip club to see a woman about what happened to them the night before as they can’t remember.
