The Hangover Part II
Director: Todd Phillips
Actors: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha, Ken Jeong

Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to Thailand for Stu's wedding. The groom tries hard to avoid his bachelor party, he even minimizes it to a 'safe' brunch. But just one beer leads to a total black out and a giant hangover for Phil, Alan and Stu (and a little monkey), who find themselves waking up in a dirty little apartment in Bangkok.

The sequel uses the exact same formula from the first flick. The guys are in big trouble again and need to find out what they did last night. The person who's MIA this time, is Stu's 17-year-old brother in law. And an old acquaintance from their Vegas adventure, Mr. Chow, played by the awesome Ken Jeong, also pops up in Bangkok.
The three lead actors have a perfect chemistry. The story focuses on their friendship shaken up by Galifianakis' character, who pushes Alan to a sick and twisted level.

The Hangover Part II delivers the same game, but recycling the familiar concept for a second film seems to work just fine. The sequel is a hilarious ride with bizarre moments, which once again makes you curious what went down that night and how The Wolfpack will fight back to get to the wedding on time.
