Critical reception

The Hangover: Part II has received generally negative reviews. The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes, gives the film a score of 35% based on 176 reviews from critics with a rating average of 4.9 out of 10. The website's critical consensus is that the film is "a crueler, darker, raunchier carbon copy of the first installment" and "lacks the element of surprise – and most of the joy – that helped make the original a hit." Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average score out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, gives the film a score of 46 based on 33 reviews.[48]

Andrew Barker of Variety gave the film a negative review, stating, "The stock dismissal "more of the same" has rarely been more accurately applied to a sequel than to The Hangover: Part II, which ranks as little more than a faded copy of its predecessor superimposed on a more brightly colored background".] Christy Lemire of the Associated Press said, "Giving the people what they want is one thing. Making nearly the exact same movie a second time, but shifting the setting to Thailand, is just ... what, lazy? Arrogant? Maybe a combination of the two". Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times also gave the film a negative review stating, "The Hangover: Part II plays like a challenge to the audience's capacity for raunchiness. It gets laughs, but some of them are in disbelief".

Conversely Michael Rechtshaffen of The Hollywood Reporter gave The Hangover: Part II a positive review remarking, "What happens in Bangkok isn't as much fun as when it happened in Vegas, but it's still worth the trip". Lou Lumenick of the New York Post said, "There are definitely laughs to be had, even if the three leads often seem to be going through the motions".

Criticism

Crystal, a capuchin monkey who also appeared in the Night at the Museum films, portrays the drug dealing monkey. Director Todd Philips raised concerns after he joked that Crystal had become addicted to cigarettes after learning to smoke them for the film. Philips later explained that Crystal never actually held a lit cigarette on the film's set and the smoke was added digitally in post-production. Still PETA protested Crystal's appearance in the film for use of exotic animals for entertainment purposes and the film does not carry the American Humane Association's disclaimer that "no animals were harmed" since the group was denied set visits.

In an interview with New York Magazine, Ken Jeong responded to criticisms of the character Mr. Chow as a caricature and being offensive to people and states doing the character was "very cathartic" for him and he said the character "has the inflections of Vietnamese, with kind of the anger of my own Korean nature" although "it's definitely not about an accent, or a stereotype."
