I think we can all agree that "The Hangover" was a fantastic movie. It was a nice little mystery with a lot of comedic frivolity.
"Hangover Part II" is no different. At first I was afraid that this sequel would be all the same jokes done over. However, this was not the case. Hangover II had many of the same themes as the first (Alan poisons people, Stu has his way with a stripper, and Phil gets abused and they are all looking for a body) but it had enough twists and surprises to still be original.
When I saw "The Hangover" I equated the bunch to my friends. I thought Doug was my friend Menzel. She's chill and has her life together like Doug did. I thought Stu could either be my friend Vanka or Jessica because they are both mild mannered with aspirations of normalcy in life but I expect them to one day become a little crazy or as Stu would say "They have a demon in them." I kinda saw myself as Phil. Not only because he's so good looking (hahahaha) But seriously, Phil is cool under pressure (which I learned this semester that I am definitely level-headed during emergencies) and he's the decision maker. Finally we have Alan. I think Alan represents life. Life does crazy shit. Life puts muscle relaxer and ADHD medicine in your marshmallows. Life is random, asking when the next Halley's comet is. I think this is a pretty fair assessment.
Now I really want to go have a party!
