Plot:

Ding, ding, ding….it’s round two for the wolfpack. Part II has Stu (Helms) set to marry his fiancé in her homeland in Thailand. After the strong urgings of Doug (Bartha), Stu reluctantly invites Alan (Galifianakis) to the wedding but strongly refuses Phil’s (Cooper) desire for the foursome to engage a bachelor party, considering what happened in Vegas for Doug’s party. So they agree to one drink along with Stu’s future brother in-law and well Hangover Part II. The threesome of Stu, Alan and Phil wake up in Bangkok with no idea what happened or what strange occurrences that have taken place in between the time period. There only clue lies with there former nemesis Mr. Chow (Jeong) from their Vegas experience and a hard smoking, drug dealing monkey. With the clock ticking the group set out on another adventure, this time to find Stu’s missing future in-law.


Reel Talk:

This is one of the year’s most anticipated movies, so the question is does it live up to the hype? Well, with director Todd Phillips back at the helm and the complete original cast from the first film back together (yes even Mike Tyson), the laughs are plentiful. Although it’s pretty much the same story as the original, only difference being is the location, you go to see this movie for it’s over the top humor and nothing more. With Galifianakis back and Ken Jeong with some more juicer scenes, Hangover fans will not be disappointed. Overall this is a good follow up movie and if you are in need of some laughs, this is the one to see.

Starring: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, Ken Jeong, Paul Giamatti and Mike Tyson
