Same Hangover, Different Movie

A couple of years ago, Warner Bros. released their raunchy comedy The Hangover to box office success and critical acclaim. It deserved it too, because it was a great movie. So two years later, The Hangover: Part II has hit theaters. And I can tell you that it's just as crude, outrageous, and potentially offensive as its predecessor, if not more so. It's also absolutely hilarious.

The movie has absolutely no shame at all and is all the funnier for it. While it's true that it's practically the exact same movie as the original as far as the plot goes, only with the raunchiness turned up as high as it could possibly go. There's no other way to describe the movie. And I've gotta be honest, it was continually making me laugh my butt off. This kind of comedy isn't for everybody, and not every movie that tries it is successful. But The Hangover: Part II is one of the funniest comedies I've seen in a while. Practically every joke is uproarious, sometimes for the weirdest reasons, and it never lets up. So I'm going to give it four stars and a definite recommendation to check it out, especially if you enjoyed the original Hangover.

And now that the summer blockbuster season is fully underway, it feels like the movies are coming out right and left. Here's hoping that the majority of them don't suck.
