Movie Review: Hangover II: The same stuff all over again..

I know what you are thinking! If its the same stuff it should be great, right? I mean, looking at how awesome Hangover was, this should be a sure winner. Well, not exactly…

One of the major reasons the first instalment was that great, was that the audience, at the time, did not know what to expect. We were just eager to watch on how much messier it got, before it all came right. Plus we had no idea who Phil, Stu and Alan were, so getting to know their quirky characters was fun. As Hangover II, that becomes the base expectation. So when that’s all you get served, the second time round, it isn’t that great.

What would have done it for Hangover II would have been some freshness..a new wacky way to get Phil, Stu and Alan in a whole new mess, with probably another new way more wackier character thrown in!! But no, there is nothing new!! The picturization, presentation, characters, everything is the same, apart from the background music which is actually more eerie and doesn’t sound much better

But then, am not saying that its bad a movie either. If you haven't seen the first one (though chances are remote), then you should love it...If you have seen the first part, you'll still have fun - the characters are all top of their form, the dialogues are good, some situations are the typical laugh out loud types and you’ll definitely enjoy the show, just don’t watch it with too many expectations.
