Two years after the disastrous events in Las Vegas, it is now Stu's (Ed Helms) turn to walk down the aisle. Since his bride is from Thailand, Stu decides to hold the wedding there. Desperately hoping to avoid the mayhem of Doug's (Justin Bartha) bachelor party, Stu chooses what he thinks will be a safe option: an alcohol-free, prewedding brunch. But this being Thailand, and with Phil (Bradley Cooper) and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) again in attendance, anything can happen.

Critics Consensus

A crueler, darker, raunchier carbon copy of the first installment, The Hangover Part II lacks the element of surprise -- and most of the joy -- that helped make the original a hit.

It wasn't that bad and we laughed a lot.

If you want to see everything you saw in Hangover, only transplanted to Bangkok, with a drug-peddling simian and a missing human finger, then Hangover 2 is the movie for you.

Rated: 2/5

Reel Talk Online

The wickedly entertaining characters and actors each leave audiences in stitches as they go through the motions of an equally entertaining--albeit redone--plot that will thrill die-hard fans of the original.

Rated: B+

If you want more laughs than you shouldn’t miss The Hangover Part II, just don’t expect anything remarkably different this time around… in fact to be safe just check your brain in at the Candy Bar on your way in.

Rated: 3/5

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Even if The Hangover Part II is, in essence, a predictable mirror image of the first film, just in a new setting, doesn't make it any less funny or entertainingly over-the-top.

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

The shock-based laughs were forgivable with The Hangover given the novelty of the concept, but there’s no pardoning the do-over feel of this sequel.

Rated: 2/4

Nowhere near as good as the original. Same basic storyline but with less laughs.

“The Hangover part 2” is not comparable to the first movie, but is still pulled off by Todd Phillips. The comedy in this movie is solid, bringing the iconic group back together. The plot is very similar to the first movie, making it feel a little repetitive and bland. This being said, The Hangover part 2 still displays solid comedy, but like most spin-offs is a worse version of the first.

fraco. tentou fazer rir e não conseguiu, tentou convencer e não conseguiu, tentou pender para o lado absurdo da coisa e só ficou chato, chato, chato. Como eu havia dito da review anterior: eles vão tentar fazer a mesma coisa nos três filmes mas se torna cansativo, sem novidade, mais do mesmo. alan não é o alívio cômico, ele só é insuportável. que filme chato, senhor.
