This is the sequel film to the similarly titled Hangover.
It uses the same characters, the same general plot line, the same twists, turns and climax as the first. Everything that was spontaneous and fun about the original is repeated in the second film, and becomes dull, tired and painful.
The most superficial parts of the first movie are used to create a shell of a movie. Then, the details of the movie are filled in with whatever is needed to make the plot line somewhat coherent.
A great sequel will take advantage of the viewers knowledge of and connection with the characters and can spend time developing a greater appreciation for these characters. In this movie, the characters go through the same experience that we've seen them go through before, and they react in a completely identical fashion. This diminishes the richness of the characters and the original movie.
