The Hangover Part II is a shameless exercise which exists for the sole purpose of capitalizing on the immensely successful original film. It takes the same actors and plugs the into the same plot where the exact same antics ensue. It is entirely similar to the first film, except that it is more raunchy and entirely devoid of freshness and laughs. It would have been slightly less offensive, and the studio would have saved some time and money, if they released the original film with a '2' inserted after the title, which is basically what they did.
