The Hangover 2

A very decent attempt at a follow-up to the record-breaking hit comedy "The Hangover".
Plot: Phil, Stu, Alan and Doug 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.
I don't care if it followed the more or less the same structure as the first one, I still think it was great. It is a much crueler and darker film than the original. The filmmakers went for shock value rather than actual belly laughs this time.

I liked it, but to be honest: I expected more from it.

A Good Old Fashioned Orgy

"A Good Old Fashioned Orgy" is a 2011 ensemble-comedy film written and directed by Alex Gregory and Peter Huyck. It stars Jason Sudeikis, Leslie Bibb, Lake Bell, Michelle Borth, Nick Kroll, Tyler Labine, Lindsay Sloane, Lucy Punch and Will Forte.
Plot: Eric is a thirty-something party animal famous among his close circle of friends for his lavish summer theme parties at his father's swanky Hamptons pad. But when members of the crew start settling down, and Eric's dad announces plans to sell the beach house, Eric decides it's time for one last bash to go out with a proverbial bang—a good old-fashioned orgy. The only obstacles to overcome are actually convincing each of his reluctant friends to join in on the bacchanal, and an inconveniently blossoming romance with the real estate agent threatening to sell the house out from under him before the main event can even take place.
I absolutely love this movie. This is a true co-ed comedy, with great characters and comedy for the guys and girls. Feels like a cult classic already.
