The Wolf pack is back! this time in Bangkok for Stu's wedding, while Stu wants a quite and simple wedding we all know thats not going to happen. a few days before the wedding a simple beer around the bonfire goes bad and leaves Stu, Phil and Alan with another Hangover from hell with no memory of the previous night and no idea where Stu's bride-to-be's brother, Teddy has ended up. An outrageous set of events take place and our remebered to the backdrop of Bangkok where the Wolfpack must race against an impeding wedding once again, while dealing with Mr.chow, a monk who's taken a vow of silence and a business deal about to go wrong, Will the Wolfpack prevail against the overwhelming odds for a second time?
All the key characters play the part of the hungover idiots without a clue for a second time, who have once again screwed up 'big time' from Stu(Ed Helms) and his role of the disappointing dentist who wants to shows he's more than just a teeth puller to his soon to be father-in-law. While Phil(Bradley Cooper) plays the cool card, the straight man who narrowly escapes the rougher scenarios his friends get in and reassuringly mocks them when they do but also keeps them calm when thinks look down(then mocks them again, just for the hell of it). Then you have Alan(Zach Galifiankas) who plays the weird, oddball that you just cant help but love for all his creepy outbursts and inputs, Other than the main Wolfpack you have supporting characters like Doug(Justin Bartha) who was on the receiving ends of the pranks last time and Mr. Chow(Ken Jeong) who again plays the drugged up tiny Asian buisnessman and Alan's plus one, who is a central part to the plot and plays it exactly like the first film tiny and insane.
I wanted it to be hilarious i really did and to an extent it really was, the gags were pretty laugh out loud funny and there are some good moments of interaction between the characters that will have you weeping in the aisles with laughter. It does what it sets out to do and hits home with the shock and awe factor leaving your mouth open with an 'Oh my god' with a giant smile on your face, because you may feel awkward for the character but you have to admit you love seeing them get into each new mess. That is the main problem with the whole film and was always going to be 'New' that is something it isn't by any means and you'll definitely get the feeling of Deja Vu throughout the film, this isn't a sequel which says lets follow in the footsteps of 'The Hangover' but more like, lets try and recreate everything the first film did well but in a different place. In that sense it's a perfect result yet, you cant help feel it's just the same film in Bangkok instead of Vegas, which is what really lets it down, saying that if you want awkward comedy gags and a laugh it is the right film, just dont expect to be blown away by anything completely new.
