'Hangover II' Thoughts

Okay seriously, what were they thinking with this sequel. It's maybe the new golden standard of what NOT to do with a sequel to a surprise blockbuster- copy the whole fucking movie. This is a remake people, not a sequel. It's got inspired moments- my favorite is the look at the gang as kids, which is all kinds of fucked-up-awesome. More genuine shock and awe like that was needed to make revisiting the same general scenario again, worthwhile. Mr. Chao's small pecker sticking out for  everyone to see wouldn't have been fun, for anyone, in 3D.

The cast is tired. Zack Galifanakis just doesn't want to be there. the only one trying is Ed Helms and he's trying too hard. And why not bring Justin Bartha into the action? Last time it was funny, yeah he was stuck on the roof. Why is he not "with the guys" this time? He's obviously being ostracized. Bradley Cooper, I used to like him, and now I don't. He's smug. It's kinda his thing in this series, but he plays it SO well.
