Review of "Hangover II"

"Hangover Part II" is a strange title for a film that is not really another part of the first ‘Hangover’, but rather the "further adventures of..." type film. In the ‘Hangover Part II’, the main characters spend very little time suffering from a hangover, and a great deal of time trying to find out what happened in their black-out. Other inexplicable aspects to the film is how little reaction anyone has to a severed finger, and how little bleeding or pain comes from a severed finger. The kid who has his fingered severed seems to say it was worth it due to all the fun he had and how he also learned an important life lesson. (Next time, try a seminar.) Also, why would the stunning girlfriend of Stu really want to marry Stu? And do you think in a movie like this, where the story is set in Thailand, that there will be a misunderstanding involving a she/male type prostitute? Could be.  The scene where the characters are assembled on a roof-top of a penthouse-type building and things start shaking and a helicopter comes rising over the side of the building at the last possible moment when the heroes are about to be done in...I've seen this scene played out in too many movies this year and that includes the movie about the Lincoln assassination, just kidding. The beautiful exotic scenery and the smoking monkey makes me want to say you should really see this film. Now when I say that the ‘smoking monkey’ makes me want to say you should see this film, I am not saying that a very attractive monkey is threatening me to tell you to see this film. The monkey puffs on cigarettes. How is it that monkeys can smoke in restaurants in Thailand but people can’t smoke on the sidewalks of New York city? Not sure. This could be our second worst endorsement this week including the Gingrich endorsement. In all seriousness, go see "Hangover II" with its smoking monkey, she/he prostitutes, drugs, cruelty, violence, hatred, and mirth. Remember, there are really only three members of the "wolf pack." (The one guy isn't really in it, he just takes phone calls at various plot points.) You might really enjoy this achievement in the cinematic art. (Yeah did you read that last line Hangover producers? You can use it as a blurb on the DVD set!)
