Is this movie worth your $9.50?

The Hangover Part 2 (2011)

I was taught not to lead with a question. But I can't help but ask: what's the difference between The Hangover and its successor?

There are none apparently. Zilch.

Yeah, yeah. Why change the shape of a wheel right?  Especially after the overwhelming success of The Hangover, it's easy and very tempting to stick with the formula of alcohol, mayhem, sex and amnesia. Well, what director, Todd Phillips, didn't realise was that while the concept of the original movie was a novelty two years ago, we are living in a world that change is the only constant (pardon me, it just popped out ).

The world moves on. The wolfpack didn't. Next movie please.
