‘The Hangover: Part II’ Movie Review

I admit it, I was wrong. I didn’t think The Hangover: Part II stood a hope of living up to the original, let alone surpassing it. How many sequels, especially comedy sequels, ever manage to pull that off? I can understand the criticisms from some quarters that The Hangover: Part II is essentially a rerun...

‘The Hangover Part III’ Set In Amsterdam?

I think it’s safe to assume at this point that there will be a third Hangover movie. No, nothing has yet been greenlit or formally announced, but a film does not make that kind of money at the box office without talk of a sequel following soon after. In fact, I suspect the Warner Bros....

However, he did recently give an interview to Allison Hope Weiner. Weiner asked him how he felt about having...

Galifianakis: ‘The Hangover 2′ Script Is Better Than The Original

The Hangover is a great film: funny, inventive, original, and surprising. Which all contributed to the fantastic critical and commercial response the film got upon release last summer. A sequel is now in the offing, with shooting set to begin in just a few weeks time. Very little is known about the plot or where...

‘The Hangover 2′ Shooting In The Fall

The Hangover was a huge hit. A surprisingly huge hit which seemed to come out of nowhere. For an R-rated feelgood comedy, it did immensely well, which is why a sequel was almost immediately given the green light. It was revealed in March that after 9 months of tough negotiations, all the lead actors had...

‘The Hangover 2′ Is Happening

Pretty much as soon as The Hangover was released, there was talk of a sequel. And why not? The original enjoyed a huge (for an R-rated comedy) opening weekend in the U.S., taking $45 million. And it has since gone on to become the most successful R-rated comedy of all time, earning $467 million worldwide....

‘The Hangover’ Sequel Is A Go

The Hangover has proved to be something of a surprise hit. Released slap bang in the middle of a time when we’re hardly lacking decent films, it managed to take an estimated $45 at the U.S. box office on its opening weekend. Which is pretty amazing for a movie that seemingly came from nowhere. I’m...
