Very Bad Trip 2

Exactement la même chose que Very Bad Trip mais à Bangkok. En gros, un film identique avec un niveau de qualité identique mais avec un singe dealer et des transsexuelles asiatiques en prime. (02/06/2011)

En gros, cette deuxième partie n’est qu’un copier-coller du numéro un, à part qu’elle se situe dans une ville différente et que les scènes comiques ont été tantôt pimentées, tantôt affadies. Moi, j’ai bien aimé et ai passé un bon moment. Parfois, je me demandais pourquoi personne ne riait dans la salle, mais il est vrai que tout le monde à un sens de l’humour différent. Pour moi, c’est un pouce en l’air et je suis pour un troisième volet dans lequel Alan se marierait ; ça nous en mettrait plein la vue ! (11/06/2011)

t’s basically the exact same movie as the first one, right down to the photos at the end that, once again, save it for me. It was watchable and fun, but it felt like I was just watching the original movie, only this time set in Bangkok. Nothing more, nothing less. Luckily, they’ve got Zach Galifianakis—without him, it probably wouldn’t be worth the watch. (19/06/2011)

Where Vegas surprised with a refreshing take on summer comedies and incorrect humour, Bangkok surprises by doing EXACTLY the same. In addition to the characters, the premise and the style of humour, all the twists and turns have also remained, and some scenes look as if Todd Phillips had shot them again but with a different background. Yeah, it’s still a lot of fun even a second time, but the element of surprise is irreparably lost, which is a shame. Ken Jeong jumping out of a car boot was funny in the first one, Ken Jeong jumping out of a freezer is funny in the second one, but then, after several experiences of deja-vu, you’re certain that he will jump out of somewhere and it’s no longer effective. And Alan’s transition from a typical “moron” to almost dangerously close to a “mentally ill wreck” is no so funny as it is sad. But still, thumbs a little up, I laughed, I did… (23/10/2011)

The first film was such a grown and sweaty American redneck, whilst the second is spoiled rice pudding that can overcome its predecessor in every way - except in that which is most necessary, and that is humor and fun. The recycling of jokes leads to the fact that it is even a tiny bit more over the line, but also to the fact that what seemed natural and surprising in the first film is only affective and predictable here. I also really laughed at the final slideshow... As expected, The Hangover is becoming a boring franchise that will make the most of the good idea of a wolf pack and a large window. For some, that may be enough, but I say: a complete waste of time. (02/06/2011)
