Yeah the more I hear about this film the less I'm really getting into seeing it--honestly I knew the sequel wasn't going to be as good esp since it wasn't (and couldn't be) in Vegas, which was a real huge part of the appeal for me about Hangover in the first place. The trailers basically confirmed the carbon-copy of the original nature, but that wouldn't have killed it for me as long as it still had a vestige of funny.

Then I hear Ken Jeong and Zach Galifanakis have upped screen time, and those two definitely work in smaller doses for me--MUCH smaller doses--esp Jeong, I thought his schtick went too long and got very annoying in the first and he was only in three scenes. So I know this movie won't be as funny for me now. And now I read about the gratuitous shock thrown in

, and well...my expectations for this are even drastically lower than when it started out.
