Why I Won't Be Seeing "Hangover 2" This Holiday Weekend

May 26, 2011

I mean seriously. Take a look.

Does it not seem that what the writers/producers/studio did was copy the script from the original movie and tweak it ever so slightly?

  1. It’s the same guys.
  2. Yet again, one of them is about to get married.
  3. They take a bachelor party trip.
  4. They get so drunk they wake up the next morning and can’t remember what happened.
  5. They find a monkey in their hotel room instead of a tiger.
  6. Instead of broken teeth, the character who’s a dentist has a tattoo on his face.
  7. They set about trying to figure out what happened the night before.
  8. The fiancee calls frantically to say, “Where are you???”
  9. High jinks ensue.
  10. They come home.
  11. Funny pics accompany the end credits.

I usually defend the movie business when people say, “There’s no originality in Hollywood anymore.” Not this time. Even I have my limits.

But don’t take my word for it. Read today’s review in The New York Times.
