Warner Bros. has released a new trailer for The Hangover Part II. Overall, I’m pretty happy with this new trailer. It gives a solid sense of setting, does a good job of setting up the obstacles without giving too much away, and makes use of a track from the new Kanye album (always a plus, for me). Nevertheless, I can’t help but feel as if the trailer is a little too self-referential to the original (i.e. Alan’s love of terrible toasts and penis jokes, and Stu’s fear of once again breaking his teeth). Just my opinion, though.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer. Directed by Todd Phillips, The Hangover Part II stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Jeffrey Tambor, Mike Tyson, Justin Bartha, and Ken Jeong. The film opens May 26th.

Comedy. In the follow-up to the record-breaking hit comedy “The Hangover,” Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), Alan (Zach Galifianakis) and Doug (Justin Bartha) travel to exotic Thailand for Stu’s wedding. After the unforgettable bachelor party in Las Vegas, Stu is taking no chances and has opted for a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. However, things don’t always go as planned. What happens in Vegas may stay in Vegas, but what happens in Bangkok can’t even be imagined.

damn, now that’s some funny stuff stockpiled into two and half minutes! Can’t wait for this shit!:D
looks like they’re taking the “Escape from LA” sequel approach where you just remake the original in a new setting.
Indeed. No originality.
it really makes references to the first movie (the “gay boy” line and the toast) but it certainly looks funny as shit!
I’m afraid it’s going to suck the life from the original. I hope they stop at two.
Meh.
this is the same fukin movie
Meh is right. It looks like Home Alone 2. A beat by beat lazy remake.
I think it’s odd that they are rebooting a movie with the same characters.
i get a wierd feeling from the movie , it won’t beat the first one.
phil i’m scared
“I can’t believe this is happening again!”
Such a hack sequel line!
“I can’t believe we’re having a weekend at Bernie’s… again!”
Terrible.
It looks funny, but exactly the same.
holly shit! this really looks good!! definitely be seeing this!
You Douchebags can talk shit on it… im still going to see it because it looks funny as fuck.
PS its called The Hangover part 2 for a reason, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT????
Hollywood always fucks it up. This movie is too self aware. I say a strong opening weekend with a 75% drop in tickets sales the next week. Out on video in 3 months.
Touchdown! That’s a really cool way of pitutng it!
