Review: 'The Hangover 2' takes action to Bangkok and isn't as funny

The Hangover Part II   R    

            This sequel inspired by events that never truly happened, or could happen, is a money grab for the producers of The Hangover trying to make the same movie but set in in Thailand. Forget any semblance of reason that would even reunite the four friends from the original, because after that Vegas trio one would think all of them were served restraining orders. In the sequel, they lose track of Stu's wife's younger brother, and in a strange riff of Chinatown and The Beach they attempt to find him, and through impossible circumstances reunite with some of the previous criminals. This time instead of roofies (a drug that evidently makes you pass out) it's ADHD meds. Uh, that wouldn't work. They would remember it all the next day. And nobody can get a tattoo while they're asleep and not remember it. Nor can someone lose a finger without remembering it. Come on.
