Oh, right. The Hangover Part 2.

Did I forget to blog about the Hangover, Part 2? I bet it was because any interest in it evaporated out my mind before I'd even left the theatre.

Don't get me wrong: it's a funny movie. I love Ed Helms (as Stu the dentist, also known as Andy from The Office) who takes a bigger role in this one. It's now his wedding on the line.

You see, two years have passed since the debacle in Las Vegas, and Stu has met the lady of his (boring) dreams. "The Wolfpack", Phil, Stu, Doug, and yes, Alan, fly to Thailand for Stu's wedding. He's not taking any chances this time, and refuses to let his friends plan a bachelor party, instead insisting on a single round of beer around a beachside campfire. What could possibly go wrong?

Fast forward through exactly the same hijinks as in the first movie, only this time they are in Bangkok.

Thank goodness Ken Jeong (until recently, a real-life medical doctor) makes a hilarious return as the high-pitched, fast-living Mr. Chow. And Zach Galafianakis is great as the deadpan weirdo, Alan, who just barely gets himself invited. 

I enjoyed myself watching this movie, but wanted nothing to do with it as soon as it was over. I'd love to keep seeing more from these actors, but not in Hangover 3.

    I'll use this space to write about movies, bikes, communications trends, pop culture, and my adventures as a new New Yorker.

    In its previous incarnation, I blogged about taking groups of friends and strangers to the movies with my Tuesday Night at the Movies group. Fortunately, my friend Nasrin continues to lead the group. You should join them some Tuesday!
