Hangover 2 (Original title: The Hangover: Part II ) is a 2011 American comedy film directed by Todd Phillips and starring Bradley Cooper , Ed Helms , Justin Bartha and Zach Galifianakis and a sequel to Hangover from 2009. In this sequel, the friends experience another excessive night with serious memory impairment.

action

Phil, Alan and Doug take Stu on a trip to Thailand for his wedding . After the unforgettable bachelorette party in Las Vegas , Stu doesn't want to take any chances and therefore plans to limit himself to just a brunch before the wedding with his friends . Two days before the wedding, Phil, Alan, Doug, Stu and Teddy, the 16-year-old son of Stu's future father-in-law, meet on the beach for a campfire. Everyone receives a beer and Alan surprises the group with some bags of marshmallows .

The next morning, Phil, Alan and Stu wake up in a shabby hotel room in a city they don't know. Phil discovers that Alan's hair has been shaved off. They both find Stu in the bathtub with a tattoo on the left side of his face that resembles Mike Tyson's . Phil finds a severed finger with young Teddy's ring on it and they notice that it has disappeared. Under a blanket they find the well-known criminal Leslie Chow. He promises to explain what happened to the group. However, after consuming a large amount of cocaine , he collapses and no longer has a pulse. Fearing criminal involvement in this drug-related death, they drag the body to the 15th floor (the elevator does not work due to a power failure) and deposit it in the dispenser of an ice machine, which they secure with a padlock. You are now being called by Doug, who earlier said goodbye to the group on the beach. They tell him about Teddy's absence, whereupon Doug gets in touch with the police.

A short time later, Doug tells his friends that the police picked up Teddy and put him in a sobering cell, whereupon the three of them go to the police station named by Doug, together with a monkey that was also in the hotel room. There, however, an elderly man in a wheelchair who does not speak a word is introduced as Teddy. However, he is wearing Teddy's sweatshirt and has Teddy's ID with him. He also has a card that says a bar.

The friends and the older man go to the bar and discover that it and the street are completely devastated. Right next door you will find a picture of Stu with his new tattoo in the window of a tattoo shop. In this shop they learn that they started a street battle with the police, which also led to the severe devastation. They also learn that Teddy was still with them up to this point and gave his belongings to the old man when they had to flee the street. The tattoo artist says that the old man belongs to a certain group of monks , some of whom have taken a vow of silence.

Arriving at the monk's monastery, the friends are beaten with a stick by a monk because they talk continuously. They are taken to the chairman of the monastery and he tells them that they kidnapped the old monk from the monastery. On the advice of the chairman, they try to regain their memories through meditation , which partially works for Alan, who finally leads the friends to a dance bar.

In the dance bar, the three of them are approached by the owner, who specifically asks for Leslie Chow, as he has ordered some weapons from him. The group learns that they have been with a Kathoey , a transsexual dancer, all evening . From her they learn that Teddy was still with them at this point and that Stu had sexual intercourse with the dancer, whereupon Stu almost had a nervous breakdown. When leaving the dance bar, the friends are attacked by two Russian criminals, who claim the monkey at gunpoint. During this action Phil is shot.

After Phil is treated, Alan says that he added "muscle relaxants" and his ADHD medication to Teddy’s marshmallows . But since the contents of the marshmallow bags were mixed up, everyone who sat on the beach had a lot of medication, which also led to the lack of memory. One exception is Doug, who left the group before the marshmallows were eaten.

The three of them discover a handwritten note on Alan's stomach that says they should be at a certain hotel a short time later. There they meet a man who claims to have kidnapped Teddy because Leslie Chow still owes him a lot of money and who demands that Chow be available for a transfer of the money the next morning.

When the friends then want to search the Asian's corpse for account numbers and passwords in the hotel, he jumps out of the ice cube compartment, completely alive. The cocaine had given him a brief cardiac arrest , which explains his missing pulse. The next morning, the friends and Chow appear as agreed to meet the man, who after a short time reveals himself to be an undercover Interpol investigator and arrests Chow. He had only claimed to have kidnapped Teddy to get Chow.

When the friends are about to give up and confess everything to Stu's future wife, he has an idea. You go back to the hotel and break into the elevator that got stuck due to the blackout. In fact, they find Teddy there. As it turns out, he wanted to get new ice cream for his severed finger and took the elevator and it got stuck. Happy that everything has now been cleared up, the four of them drive back to the place of Stu's wedding with Chow's speedboat, where his future father-in-law is already about to break off the wedding. They make it in time, and Stu and his future wife receive his blessing from their father.

Alan has ordered the surprise guest Mike Tyson as a wedding present , who sings the song One Night in Bangkok with several dancers . Then Doug, Stu, Teddy, Phil, Alan and Mike Tyson get together and Teddy shows everyone the photos on his cell phone , which among other things tells them how Teddy's finger was cut off.

Financial success

The film grossed approximately $ 581 million worldwide on a production budget of $ 80 million, about $ 120 million more than the first part. This makes it one of the most successful films of 2011 . In Germany just over 4 million people saw him in the cinema. (As of August 17, 2011)

Trivia

  • Originally, Mel Gibson was supposed to play the role of the tattoo artist in the film. Due to opposition to Gibson from the actors and film crew involved in the film, the producers terminated the agreement with Gibson. Then the scene with Liam Neeson was filmed. Todd Phillips later wanted to re-shoot the scene, but at this point Neeson was no longer available due to his commitment for the continuation of Clash of the Titans . In the finished film, the role is ultimately played by Nick Cassavetes .
  • Filming began on October 8, 2010 and ended on January 1, 2011.
  • The launch date almost got postponed because Mike Tyson's tattoo artist filed a copyright infringement lawsuit.
  • Like its predecessor, Hangover 2 started extremely successfully in German cinemas. The film received a silver bogey for two million viewers within 20 days.
  • On December 17, 2010, the Australian stuntman Scott McLean was seriously injured in a car accident and suffered permanent brain damage. The reason for this is said to have been a short-term change in the stunt parameters by the stunt coordinator Russell Solberg. Solberg and the director of the second unit Brian Smerz are defendants in a McLean damages claim against the production company Warner Bros.
  • Film critics such as Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper gave negative mention of a recording in the credits of the film; this is an imitation of a photo by the war journalist Eddie Adams , which shows the execution of the Viet Cong Văn Lém and which became Press Photo of the Year in 1968 and for which Adams received the Pulitzer Prize. Ebert describes the handling of it as desecration: “This is a raunch fest, yes, but not an offense against humanity (except for that photo, which is a desecration of one of the two most famous photos to come out of the Vietnam War). "

Reviews

Christian Horn wrote on Fluter.de that the “esprit” of the predecessor “of the stilted sequel is almost completely absent”, so only “a handful of good gags and the remaining charm of the actors” would save the “stale new infusion from absolute emptiness”. Sophie Albers Ben Chamo also said on stern.de : “Unfortunately, 'Hangover 2' relies completely on this 'again'. Because the original was so new, so great, so original, part two comes as a copy - be it the crazy Mister Chow or Phil Collins fan Mike Tyson, this time the tiger is a monkey, the lost Doug became Teddy. It's still fun, but this time there's actually a hangover afterwards. ”The daily newspaper said that the script“ somewhat predictably exploits all those stereotypes that circulate around Bangkok: from Buddhist silent monks who operate with the baton to transsexual love services up to mafia-like underground networks ”. The “All-American-Guys” would dive “through this world of vice”, but would remain “too whole and intact”, the film did not risk a “decomposition of their pseudo-morals”. Volker Probst from n-tv commented on the film as follows: “'Hangover 2' is […] like Lady Gaga - one is inclined to forgive the first repetition again. 'Hangover 2' is still a funny movie, but it can no longer deliver comparable aha effects and moments of surprise as the first part. "

The lexicon of international films wrote that the film was "not developing the original further", but merely copying it and spicing it up with "a dash of exoticism". Only the “well-humored actors” would “provide a certain amount of entertainment”, “which is otherwise mainly due to an increased zoten-drastic”.

continuation

Warner Bros. and director Todd Phillips announced in early 2012 that a third and final installment in the series is planned. Hangover 3 opened in US theaters on May 23, 2013.
