'The Hangover II' breaks box office records!!!

"The Hangover Part II" crushed a box-office record over the weekend, grossing $86 million from Friday-to-Sunday, the biggest opening ever for a live-action comedy.  This hefty bounty is due in part to the Memorial Day holiday and a Thursday debut. The sequel (which swaps Las Vegas for Thailand) has already made $117 million. "The Hangover" opened with $45 million in 2009. "Part II" stands just behind "The Matrix Reloaded" on the list of R-rated openings.


There were somel ess than stellar reviews about the film saying that it begins really slow and the build-up to the wedding took too long and that the film plays on too many raunchy parlor jokes and stereotypes.  But of course you can't please all of the critics all of the time.  You can't really please most of the critics some of the times.  But fro the numbers, the viewers LOVED the film and that's what counts when you add up the ticket sales at the end of the weekend.

'The Hangover II' hits theaters TODAY!!!!

Do you guys remember the 2009 movie 'The Hangover'?  The plot follows four friends who travel to Las Vegas for a bachelor party, only to wake up the next morning not remembering a thing and missing the groom, whose wedding is scheduled to occur the next day. The film was inspired by the filmmakers' real-life misadventures.

The film was a commercial success becoming the tenth highest-grossing film of 2009, with a worldwide gross of over $467 million. The film won the Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy.  Well the best buds are back at it again  with sequel  due out this Memorial Day.  This time the guys find themselves drunk and passed out in Thailand!  Director Todd Phillips actually says that he feels the sequel is funnier than the original.



"Audiences have really responded in the same way," Phillips said of the reaction to the follow-up. "It's just been out of this world. I think people are going to be really surprised."
