News on March 18th


Another super special awesome edition of Xavier University News. I could not do a movie review this week, but the show is still awesome without it. Enjoy!

The Hangover Part 2 - HD Trailer 2 (OFFICIAL)


One of the biggest sleeper hits in recent memory is The Hangover. I saw this at a free screening about three weeks before it opened, and I thought this was going to be so bad. However, the screening was free so I went anyway. To my surprise, I absolutely loved this film. It was one of the few films that had me laughing throughout the whole picture. It was a flat out hilarious comedy and I felt that I was going to die of laughter*. I had to leave the theater a couple times just to compose myself before I went back inside. It is the first movie that I have seen at the theater more than two times. Granted that these were all free screenings, but I would had still paid to see this film.

The film was a huge hit as it grossed $467 million worldwide. The production budget was only $35 million, so naturally the suits at Warner Bros wanted a sequel and they got one. I knew there would be a sequel to this film even though the story was complete in the first one. I was curious on what they were going to do for the sequel.

The Hangover Part II stars the four main leads from the original, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Alan (Zach Galifiankis), Doug (Justin Bartha), and Stu (Ed Helms) as they travel to Bangkok for Stu's wedding. After their little escapade in Las Vegas, Stu wants a safe, subdued pre-wedding brunch. However, things do not go as planned after they lose the younger brother of Stu's fiancée (Jamie Chung).

So this seems like a retread of the first film, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The trailer looks hilarious and features more of the same gags as the first film. Even Mike Tyson is scheduled to reprise his role as himself from the first film. In addition, Ken Jeong and Jeffrey Tambor are returning from the first film. Plus Paul Giamatti and Liam "Badass" Neeson have roles in the film. I am a little disappointed that Heather Graham is not returning, but Jamie Chung is an excellent substitute.

Some people say the original Hangover was overrated, but that is such a cliche argument. When there are films that have enormous success there will always be people saying that it was such an overrated film. It may be a retread of the first film, but as long as I laugh it is worth the money. The Hangover Part II comes out on May 26, which is part of Memorial Day weekend.

* People have actually died of laughing before. Look it up.
