When Yogi Berra said "It's déjà vu all over again," maybe he said it best. Then again, perhaps it was John McClane: "How can the same shit happen to the same guy twice?" While neither was specifically referring to The Hangover Part II, Todd Phillips' sequel to the unexpected 2009 blockbuster, they might have been. Using the original as a template, The Hangover Part II colors within the lines, but does so with bright fluorescents rather than drab primaries. Despite being mandated by the insane box office success of its predecessor, this movie feels anything but obligatory. It delivers what it's expected to deliver, and that's likely to make it a success with anyone who laughed his ass off two summers ago.
