The Hangover Part II is already giving us deja vu, and not in a good way. After a drunken night, one of the Wolf Pack's members goes missing. But instead of Vegas, it takes place in Bangkok. Despite some skepticism, Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis fearlessly traverse across a foreign terrain where they’re accompanied by a monkey, the same partying Asian mobster from Sin City (Ken Jeong), and a disabled man in a wheelchair.
Needless to say, now we're nervous. This first trailer pretty much assures that the sequel will the unfold exactly the same way as the first. Plus, unlike the original, when we weren’t familiar with the characters or the arrangement, this time we all know the deal. Can new faces (including our recent cover girl Jamie Chung) and a different locale make up for the lacking originality? We certainly hope the tattoo on Ed Helms’ face or bald cut donned by Zach Galifianakis were done after something extremely mind blowing.
We’ll save our skepticism until we see the film on May 26.

No Doug?! When actors don't come back, I'm skeptical.

Um, doug is in the first 20 seconds... Anyways complex, what did you expect? It's a comedy and mystery. The only way for this to be an authentic sequel was for them to duplicate the plot. The part that makes it interesting will be the environments and arrangement of story this time around. I mean, damn, the whole cast returns and your wondering about originality? Nothing was original about the first other than perfectly executing two genres that are usually not seen together.
