Storyline Stu is getting married. Along with Doug, Phil, and his soon-to-be brother-in-law Teddy, he regretfully invites Alan to Thailand for the wedding. After a quiet night on the beach with a beer and toasting marshmallows by the camp fire, Stu, Alan and Phil wake up in a seedy apartment in Bangkok. Doug is back at the resort, but Teddy is missing, there's a monkey with a severed finger, Alan's head is shaved, Stu has a tattoo on his face, and they can't remember any of it. The wolf-pack retrace their steps through strip clubs, tattoo parlors and cocaine-dealing monkeys on the streets of Bangkok as they try and find Teddy before the wedding.

Trivia: Mel Gibson was supposed to play the tattoo artist, but the idea was later dropped following protests from the cast and crew. He was replaced by Liam Neeson. Director Todd Phillips later wanted to reshoot Neeson's scene, but Neeson was unavailable to return, as he was filming
Wrath of the Titans. The scene was subsequently reshot with Nick Cassavetes in the role.

Re-hashing of Old Material
Rating: 5/10
I was really optimistic going into the theatre, I didn't expect it to
as great as the original, but I thought it would still be good movie.
But most of the material was stuff taken from the original only
tweaked, and I hate to say it but I was actually bored for a good part
of the movie. Some of the jokes/scenes dragged to long, to the point
where I didn't find them funny anymore. There were some good moments,
but the truly outrageous/original scenes that made the original so
great were too few and far between. Some of the scenes were more
outrageous in the sense that there was some full frontal nudity, but
I'm not someone who finds that super entertaining. Overall it felt to
me like a re-hash of stuff that had already been done with some naked
people thrown in, and it just wasn't enjoyable like the first movie.
