    I wasn't sure if I was excited to see this movie or not. I loved Hangover Part 1. But sometimes, sequels aren't that good. But we still watched this movie just cause. It was funny although I think the first movie was funnier. The plot is exactly the same, just a different location. Missing friend, can't remember anything because they were drugged by Allen, guns, sex, the usual. Of course Bradley Cooper was a real eye candy. He should make movies like this more often coz he looks so hot!
