Comments: It's a bit hard for me to classify The Hangover Part II. In terms of the comedy aspect, I laughed heartily during many parts of the film, especially Zach Galifianakis' scenes. If I'm being honest, this is completely Galifianakis' film, and he could make a lucrative career playing this character over and over. But in terms of the overall story, I was totally unimpressed. The structure and plot points are so similar to the first film that it's ridiculous. I appreciate a good callback, but a little variation would've been nice. The Hangover Part II is a funny diversion, but overwhelmingly lazy and uninspired in the grand scheme of things. It's a solid rental, but that's about it.
