That guy studied medicine at Ochsner in New Orleans.

Have you seen the one with Chang singing Time In A Bottle in the elevator?
that just made me angry, because Chang was easily the worst part about the first one, so it saddened me greatly that they brought him back

IMO, he's much better playing characters that aren't based on asian stereotypes or overly feminine like in Knocked Up or Role Models. He plays a pretentious a-hole, PERFECTLY.

Here are some of the reviews:
sacrifices plausibility, believability and empathy with anything that doesn't validate its lead characters' 'Wolf Pack' mentality in the service of a smirkingly cynical attitude.
There are definitely laughs to be had, even if the three leads often seem to be going through the motions.
Top Critic
The MPAA's elaboration of the film's R rating says the movie has "pervasive language, strong sexual content including graphic nudity, drug use and brief violent images." Also other stuff. Maybe their space was limited.
-Roger Ebert
The lads in the "Hangover" "wolfpack" seem a tad winded, this time around. From concept to execution, "Hangover Part II" has a "been there, done that, jailed for it" feel.
Roger Moore
Orlando Sentinel
Giving the people what they want is one thing. Making nearly the exact same movie a second time, but shifting the setting to Thailand, is just ... what, lazy? Arrogant? Maybe a combination of the two.
Christy Lemire
The stock dismissal "more of the same" has rarely been more accurately applied to a sequel than to The Hangover Part II, which ranks as little more than a faded copy of its predecessor superimposed on a more brightly colored background.
Nell Minow
As the film goes on its dull, dim-brained, slapdash way, there isn't a solitary laugh in sight. Not one. A person couldn't write worse jokes if he or she tried.
Dustin Putman
You already paid for and saw this film two years ago. Though, the version you saw then was a thousand times better. Beyond disappointing!
Kevin McCarthy
The equivalent of a drunk college student waking up the morning their book report is due and desperately trying to remember what they saw in the crappy movie version.
Erik Childress
Every time Phillips pushed his undoubtedly formulaic sequel down yet another squalid alley for the sake of a shocking joke, I grew to appreciate, respect and even love "The Hangover Part II."
Marc Lee
It tries to tell the same story again, with slight variations and bigger, louder, raunchier jokes and action. More, as it often does, turns out to be less.
Marshall Fine
Hollywood & Fine
Todd Phillips directs with increased confidence, but in every respect, The Hangover Part II is a cowardly cash-in, devoid of novelty or daring.
Nick Schager
Slant Magazine
The unexpectedly wonderful thing about this sequel is that it actually improves on the jokes.
Joshua Rothkopf
Time Out New York
Stranger, funnier. This is male bonding through f'd-up adversity, compared to what previously felt like acquaintances drunkenly coming to terms with their own simmering anger.
Matt Pais
RedEye
Your head hurts like hell, the whole thing feels horribly familiar, and it's just not funny any more. Can this really be happening again?
Nigel Floyd
Time Out
Can't justify essentially reenacting, beat for beat, the plot of its predecessor.
Josh Bell
Las Vegas Weekly
So closely mirrors its blockbuster predecessor in every vital aspect that it can scarcely call itself a sequel.
Thomas Leupp
Hollywood.com
A soulless and badly unfunny retread of everything that worked the first time.
Katey Rich
CinemaBlend.com
The actors are having a great time with unfunny, repetitious dialogue.
I was afraid this would happen. Trying to force something for money. Same thing happened with boondock saint 2.

yea the reviews aren't good...at all
The critics are confirming my fear that it was going to be a carbon copy remake that didn't quite have the same level of jokes

Why didn't they just do a different concept with the characters instead of another time they get hammered and lose a guy? I'd be all for following these characters again, but to have the exact same plot except in Bangkok was just a dumb move. It just doesn't make much sense on how they would let the exact same thing happen again. The characters are fine, but I just don't want to see them doing the exact same things and continually referencing things they did in the previous film.

Getting pretty terrible reviews saying it was a film that brings absolutely nothing new to the table. This isn't shocking from the trailers. I'll probably skip it since this film was undoubtably made solely for the money.
Yet the fanboys are going to run around trying to convince themselves and others that it's the funniest thing ever.

hey its not the same movie; they lose a different guy. 
still will see it though

prediction: it'll still be pretty funny, not as funny as the first, but funny enough, and everyone here will knock it, like they did the first one

it's a sequel it's not supposed to bring anything new. it's the same as the other one.
sure some overrated the first but not everyone did.

Where did I say, "the entire board"? I specifically mentioned "fanboys".
Methinks thou protest too much...

It was pretty obvious from the beginning that they were going to do the same thing again, so Im not surprised by those reviews. I personally don't give a shite what critics think, so I'll be there friday and Im sure ill enjoy it
