The Hangover 2

I put a lot of thought into my blog titles. I like for them to be clever. Unfortunately I can't think of anything witty for this post. Therefore, it's simply titled "The Hangover 2."

My wife and I have just returned to our apartment after seeing the second addition to this franchise. I'm in limbo. I can't decide if this sequel was funnier than the first. It is more outrageous for sure. Zack Galifianakis is possibly the funniest man alive. He outdid himself and "The Hangover part 2" is worth seeing for that fact alone.

Ken Jeong gets a little more screen time in this movie. The guy is hilarious. If they do a third one I would like for him to be throughout the whole movie. I think they should do one more movie. Complete these movies as a trilogy. What would be more than icing on the cake than if Alan got married? He would then be the alpha dog of his wolf pack. Anyway, I was talking about Ken Jeong. He and the monkey are really the only competitors for funniest person in the movie that Galifianakis had. Don't get me wrong Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms dish out the laughter, but Zack, Ken, and the cigarette smoking monkey own this film.

You can expect this movie to basically follow the same story line as the first movie. If you're going to see the writers do something new with this movie you're going to be disappointed. However, if you're going to laugh your ass off you will get a belly full. This movie and its predecessor are the only movies that kept me laughing from beginning to end in a long time. Probably because, other than "Dumb and Dumber," they're about as close to my sense of humor as a movie can get.

If you don't like your humor, rude, crude, and uncalled for then you should skip this all together.

Overall I give "The Hangover part 2" an A- on the verge of a B+. Full of laughs but nothing we haven't already seen.

Okay, side bar. I'm an avid viewer of movie trailers. If there's a movie I'm really excited about I'll view the trailer dozens of times. I can't even tell you how many times I watched the trailer for "The Dark Knight." When trailers for "The Dark Knight Rises" finally arrive you can bet I'll watch every trailer about a hundred times. I've been following all the news for the newest Batman since I saw "The Dark Knight."

Tonight before Hangover was a trailer for a remake of "Fright Night." Honestly, it looks like it has a lot of potential. Granted I've never seen the first. Now, this trailer could be deceptive, and the movie be a stink fest. I hope not because it looks cool. I've added the original to my Netflix. If I'm going to see a remake I need to be able to judge it against the original. I've included the trailer for the new "Fright Night" below. Am I right or wrong? Full of potential or full of sh. . .
