The Hangover 2 (2011)

I went into this one expecting it to suck, honestly.  I really enjoyed the first one, don't get me wrong, but I thought "again?  Really?"  I was pleasantly surprised.  I laughed out loud a lot during this, and genuinely enjoyed it.

My favorite parts:

1.  The use of "Downeaster Alexa" by Billy Joel.  What. The. Fuck?  Such a bizarre song choice!!
2.  Ken Jeong.  Mr. Chow rocks the house, I love him.
3.  A monkey wearing a Rolling Stones denim vest.  Aces.
4.  Ed Helms' version of "Allentown" - again, a Billy Joel reference.  Weird.
5.  Paul Giamatti - I will watch him in anything!!!
6.  The revelation of how Teddy lost his finger (it's in the pictures over the credits, pay attention)

Definitely worth the time, if you like raunchy humor and you liked the first one.  A decent sequel.
