Hangover 2 Trailer: You Know, You Can't Just Make the Same Movie Again and Put a "2" On It

When you make a film sequel, you expect quite a few similarities, but best I can tell from this trailer, Hangover 2 is the same movie, only set in Bangkok. The same characters go to a pre-wedding affair, drink too much, wake up the next morning with no memory of it, and after having lost someone they have to find by piecing together the night before. Trade the lion for a monkey, the baby for a Thai brother-in-law, and Ed Helm’s chipped tooth for a Mike Tyson tattoo.

I'm guessing that unlike the original movie, this sequel will feature a Thai ladyboy. That's new, right?

I like how they checked the roof first. Shows they're learning.

Same movie though. Again hoping Zach Galifianakis makes it funnier than it looks.

With more Chang?

Sure you can make the same movie over and over again. Did you not see the Bourne movies?

Posted by: logan at April 1, 2011 10:24 AM

Yeah, at least they check the roof, ask Alan if he drugged them again, made reference to Heather Graham, etc. But, man, it really does look like the exact same movie. Poor Justin Bartha; I know no one else liked that show Teachers, but I was a fan.

Galifianakis is a golden god, though. Just too bad it won't go straight to Netflix.

But, there's a monkey in it!

Posted by: bobbob at April 1, 2011 10:29 AM

Same movie, no Mike Tyson. I'll still watch when it hits Netflix.

Our first April fool's joke on our Dr. Who pic. Well done. Still can't wait for Easter.

I'll probably see it. I like Ed Helms way too much and Galifianakis has this strange hold on me that I can't shake off. Bring it on, Emu.

Posted by: figgy at April 1, 2011 10:45 AM

bobbob, there's a monkey sucking off a water-bottle made to look a penis in it!

I'll be the contrarian and say that I can't wait for it. Loved the first one and hope this one is funny.

Shut the hell up, there's a MONKEY? I'M IN !

Posted by: figgy at April 1, 2011 10:56 AM

As long as the only female characters are still limited to the "bitch" and "slut" types, and Zach Whatshispickle makes HILARIOUS jokes about being barred from proximity to school children, I'm in!

Posted by: Mrs. Julien at April 1, 2011 10:57 AM

You would think that an Emu would be afraid to travel to Thailand.

Posted by: Pinky McLadybits at April 1, 2011 10:59 AM

I hope Hangover 3 features the gang on a trip to the Australian outback, trying to piece together how they lost their emu to a band of poachers the night before.

CRIKEY! Is that a digeridoo in your pants, Alan?

Totally!

Posted by: birdgal at April 1, 2011 11:03 AM

Am I the only one who thinks Galafianakis is trying way too hard to be the next Chris Farley? I swear, everything funny I've seen him do, is something I already saw Farley do.

Posted by: Markus at April 1, 2011 11:06 AM

Lame. I didn't really love the first one so this rehashing does not appeal at all. And I am so over the Emu. Someone please make him go away.

Posted by: prairiegirl at April 1, 2011 11:12 AM

Chris Farley's style of humor and Zach Galifinakis' style of humor are COMPLETELY different in every sense of the word...

Posted by: Littlejon2001 at April 1, 2011 11:15 AM

The first was fucking hysterical, so if it's the same movie, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

Posted by: sosumi at April 1, 2011 11:22 AM

It's Fanservice. And it's Fanservice I shall probably attend.

Posted by: e at April 1, 2011 11:39 AM

Yeah, I don't see any similarity between Chris Farley and Zach Galafianakis either. I was one of the few people who really didn't find the first Hangover funny, aside from Galafianakis, so I'd expect the same in this (I guess we expect the same everything in this).

I really gotta say though, that man is funnier to me each time I watch him. I'm sure there'll come a time when that'll change, but I watched Due Date a little while ago, expecting very little, and Galafianakis made me laugh out loud more than anything I've seen recently. Even lines that wouldn't make me laugh delivered by somebody else ("He really enjoyed coffee, and in the end he was enjoyed as coffee"). Anyway, Netflix for me too.

Take note: it's called Hangover Part II. What did you expect from the sequel? The guys suddenly become responsible adults and have an adventure that's forgettable due to being boring rather than being fueled by blackout-inducing amounts of alcohol/etc?
I loved the first one, so I'm completely up for round two.

Posted by: vinoveritas at April 1, 2011 11:47 AM

Wow, I actually managed to spell his name wrong every single time didn't I? Damn complicated name.

Posted by: JohnnyBee at April 1, 2011 11:50 AM

Don't be such a buzzkill, mom.

Posted by: L.O.V.E. at April 1, 2011 11:52 AM

O ghaad I fuckin hate monkeys.

Posted by: klingonfree at April 1, 2011 11:58 AM

I don't care for Chang's boobies. He should be made to put a shirt on.

Just watching ZG walk on Due Date was funnier than every lamo comedy that's been put out in the past year. Due Date was hysterical. See it!

Posted by: kirbyjay at April 1, 2011 12:01 PM

I hate monkeys, too, always have. It might be a dealbreaker.

Posted by: Dorothy Snarker at April 1, 2011 12:01 PM

they cudn't come up with something other than losing another guy again?

Posted by: haplo at April 1, 2011 12:02 PM

I hate that I grinned while watching the trailer. It's lazy. It's lazy filmmaking and I'll probably watch it.

Gah.

Posted by: Snuggiepants at April 1, 2011 12:23 PM

I thought the first one was funny, but not THAT funny. This "sequel" really does look like the exact same movie with a few interchangeable parts (Bangkok for Vegas, Monkey for Tiger, Thai kid brother for bland white dude bachelor). In spite of my better judgment, I still want to see it. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME????

Posted by: Hoof Hearted at April 1, 2011 1:00 PM

I decided to troll all the posts today without reading them and try to pick the one that is an April Fools prank.

I pick "2".

Posted by: JuiceinLA at April 1, 2011 2:09 PM

"Trade the lion for a monkey, the baby for a Thai brother-in-law, and Ed Helm’s chipped tooth for a Mike Tyson tattoo."

Did you SEE the first one? It was a tiger not a lion - they found a baby in the room and lost the groom and Ed Helm's pulled his tooth out not chipped it - sheesh.

Embrace Sobriety.

Posted by: Jo 'Mama' Besser at April 2, 2011 7:43 PM

Since they didn't lose the same guy (aka the fourth member of their wolfpack) this time, then why is he still relegated to supporting status? I thought this one might at least give Justin Bartha the chance to come along for the ride. Weird. That being said, this is EXTREMELY lazy looking, but my weakness for Galifianakis and Helms will make me watch. But not in the theatre.

Posted by: Nicole at April 3, 2011 3:49 PM

So what if it's the same film, what would be the point in changing the entire story, the movie worked out great the first time, it was hilarious and this time it will be twice as funny.
