Chicago – Business and creative people go together as well as fine wine at a burger joint. Riding on the heels of the monumentally profitable “The Hangover,” the brass win out over the artists in “The Hangover Part II”.
Rating: 3.0/5.0
Sequels usually fail because they’re just subpar as compared to their initial flash of genius. On the surface, “The Hangover Part II” appears to take chances by radically upping the ante on the film’s shock factor. But delving beneath the smoke and mirrors, the film actually is trying desperately not to let you down by riling you up even more.
Part two puts a new meaning to “Bangcock” when the film’s bachelor finds a woman who – if she was a Ms. Potato Head – was misassembled with one body part that makes you go hmmmm. Successful comedy, though, doesn’t come from having to drop more “F” bombs or falling down more stairs.

(Not adjusted for inflation, that is.) That's a possibility according to pundits who say this year's three-film combo — The Hangover Part II, Kung Fu Panda 2, and Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides — may help propel box-office figures over the holiday weekend above the record-breaking 2007 total of $256 million.
