The trailer makes this look more like a spoof than a sequel. Should have been called Epic Hangover.

I enjoyed The Hangover...I didn't know much about it when I saw it so didn't really expect anything mind blowing. I can't believe it made $440 million at the box office worldwide. The one really good thing to come from it is now people know the genius of Zack Galifinakis.

If you can, watch his DVD "Live at the Purple Onion". His comedy isn't everyone's cup of tea but I loved it.

Wow you guys are generous. I wouldn't even give it a 2 out of 10.

Every joke was a repeat of the first, except far more poorly executed. My mate and I actually had a game going in it guessing what the next joke would be, funnily enough we were getting about 90% of them right.

A guy lost his finger and they don't even mention it for 5 minutes after they catch up with him again. A guy gets a tattoo on his face and his wife to be never even mentions it.

It was the most geniused movie I've seen in a very long time and painful to watch. Biggest cash grab ever, thankfully I didn't pay to see it. It even had the same actors from the first playing a different character in the 2nd for crying out loud.

It was merely a high budget straight to dvd film from the same ilk as the american pie series. I can't believe all the main characters signed on to do it again, they must have been paid a fortune to put their faces in this piece of trash.

High grossing piece of trash that makes them more valuable to the film industry.

Considering most are tv actors at best or are just plain typecasts I don't think any will try and pull a Clooney and get their name pulled from the movie.

The thing that amazed me was Paul Giamatti put his name to this pile of trash. He is one actor that usually picks his roles pretty well.

Did he? Sounds like he wanted to make a quick buck.

I have no intention of watching it regardless.

It was a carbon copy of the first one... having said that, i liked the first one, so i liked this too... not as good. but good none the less. i don't judge comedys on their quality plot or acting... i judge them on how much i laugh, and i thought it was funny. A lot of penis though.... a LOT

Look it's a popcorn movie but it was still funny.

Chow is an awesome character.

I hated this character his voice annoyed the shit out of me and more I think about it the more I think this movie was actually pretty shit
At best I would now give it a generous 4.5

Ifyou were going, expecting to see a masterppiece then I can understand why you would be disappointed. But if you saw the first movie and went expecting/ hoping for more of the same then you would have enjoyed it as much as I did. I do agree however, it now seems a bit odd that the guys' bride to be doesn't ask him about the face tattoo at any point when the guys return from Bangkok.

The first one was good, because it was something different, a fresh spin on the typical "guy mates getting wasted" sort of comedy flicks. Teh second one was not as good, because it was nothing different. They could have put a new spin on things, come up with different jokes, dropped characters like Chow who were average in the first, and introduce new characters. I think they over did it with the Tyson stuff too. Sure it was funny the first time, but do something different this time. Put a fresh spin on teh successful formula you have, instead of a carbon copy.

I watch movies knowing they're bad for entertainment. This movie was just terrible on every level, and not in a so bad it's brilliant way. It was painful to watch, every joke was exactly the same as the first. I don't think anyone who watches it would expect a masterpiece, but they'd at least like a remotely coherent storyline, jokes that aren't clones of the first and scenes that aren't completely detached from the previous.

I honestly pity anyone who found this remotely enjoyable. The jokes were telegraphed years in advance, it was quite possibly the most predictable movie I've ever seen.
