2:01"It happened again."
4:51Mm, love Bradley Cooper.
5:17Married in Vegas, like he did last time. Hehehe, not by choice, of course.
7:37I would like a bachelor brunch. Chocolate chip pancakes are pretty wild.
12:22Surely you can't smoke a pipe in the airport.
16:00It's not just his country that don't consider dentists to be doctors, is it? Happens in all kinds of films. And Friends!
19:15Wow, the rudeness.
21:01That is not much of a pact!
25:22I don't like much of the music so far in this film, but it really fits well.
28:16Actually, I think the monkey is scarier than the tiger.
33:44That is crying? Weird!
35:07"Feet first, feet first. I've done this before."
37:48Elephant!
42:42I wonder why they can't remember anything this time.
45:40Are you allowed to just walk into a monastery? No reception or anything?
47:24"Oh my god, we kidnapped a monk."
57:01I forgot how beat up they get as they go on their travels.
57:24And shot!
1:04:58"How much worse can this day get?" Famous last words.
1:09:29I am not comfortable with a smoking monkey.
1:14:53"I wish monkeys could Skype."
1:17:24I love the way he said that. Now they make you add nuuumbers.
1:28:11Quite a way to make an entrance. They couldn't do the bit about picking up suits and changing along the way.
1:29:30Anchor!
1:33:47Tut, tut, Chinese Lanterns.
1:34:12I don't like seeing so much of Phil's wife. Humph.
1:38:38Ohhh, never thought to wonder what happened to his finger.

Thoughts

The first Hangover film was a surprise hit for us. I wasn't expecting to enjoy it, and although it was a bit too crude for me in places, it made me laugh enough to score 4 out of 5. The trailer for the second one seemed a lot brighter and quite a lot brasher but it didn't look like the first would be ruined, so we settled in for a watch.

It didn't ruin the first one, which is good. It couldn't ruin it really because it was the exact same film, just with some tweaks. They weren't left with a baby, but they did lose one of the party, he was found in a ridiculously obvious place, there was some kidnapping, some beating up and a lot of shouting and swearing. It was good, but because we'd already seen everything before, it wasn't great.

Rating: 3 / 5
