The Hangover Part II<\/a> is the perfect sequel, in that the exact same movie was made for a second time. Everything I liked about The Hangover<\/a>, I liked here too. It’s not that I like humor based on other people’s discomfort. I do sometimes, but to a pretty limited degree. What I really like is humor based on situations that are spiraling out of control. And if waking up in a room in Bangkok with no memory of the previous night, a severed finger, a missing wedding party member, and a stray monkey isn’t out of control, not many things would be.<\/p>\n

Still, after that, the untangling what actually happened and trying to make sure the wedding goes off and finding all kinds of hilariously horrible situations along the way, like I said, same movie. So there’s hardly anything to add. I just dig the genre, is all. (And I hope that I never have anyone like Zack Galifianakis’ character in my life, ever. I like the idea of inexplicable, out of control adventures in my life, I do. I just want them to be accidental<\/em>. And not involve frozen mountain passes or blood-thirsty, one-eyed warlords. Already covered those.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
