I wonder if this tattoo artist would be willing to share the settlement funds with traditional and sacred Maori moko artists who he initially "ripped off" for Tyson's tattoo. http://bit.ly/mIT7Fv
Isn't it time for harry potter to grow up shouldn't he be Harold potter by now.
.... Is all I'm gonna say
Ummmmmm. I like that movie..... uuuhhhh, yeeeeeeeeaaaah. So, I hear it's going to rain today...... go rain......makes the plants happy and stuff........
Another lame movie that a bunch of lame people, who wished they had a "hangover" experience of their own, went to go see to try to live vicariously through it. Next thing you know Hollywood is going to show us the contents of unflushed toilets to see if that will get a laugh and saddly some will think it is hilarious
Um, actually, Beverly Hills Cop is still the biggest R rated comedy of all time, since regardless of what price people paid for their ticket to see it, BHC sold more tickets and therefore more people saw it, making it "The Biggest". Animal House is the 2nd biggest of all time.

I haven't been so eager for my wife to come home! I seriously enjoy watching funny movies with my youthfullness, she has a cool sense of humor(or at least puts up with my "MAN HUMOR"
it made money cuz it was funny,or maybe all the other movies just sucked a lot more,oh yeah,harry potter sux ace !!!
i agree that prices are going up thus the sales are going up but during a time when the economy is not spending this is pretty impressive. and to the harry potter lovers (which i am too) relax with the comments your looking stupid comparing harry potter to the hangover is rediculous.
I hate how they say "oh its the top grossing film of all time" ...of COURSE it is everything is sooo expensive...what do expect when prices r going up?
Saw it.loved it.great comedy..this is the same stuff that can and does happen in real life .blackin out from too much fun.and too much booze..lmao at this sequel..
Rest in peace Ryan!!!!
First was by far much better and funnier. Second was horrible, is living off the waves of first
Stop hating so much ppl the hangover2 was a funny grafic movie have some sense of humor
Fyi... They account for inflation and base an average price of admission vs total # of tickets sold. Also, the highest grossing R movie was actually E.T.
The movie was great.I like better than the first.
As a single black man I am very offended by this.
They should base hangover 3 on harry potter. Him and hogwarts wake up not remembering what happened and one of the mysteries is why harry's bum feels like it was violated.
This isn't Diagon Alley... I must have gotten lost.... Flu powder
Winning!
I've said before this show provides a break and reminds us of the stupid s$%= that we can get into with friends if left unsupervised. Although, Hangover can push a little far at times like most comedies today-it has a laugh here and there from relateable characters (Dr. Chow is a doctor who nailed his role). Laughter is good for the soul, Ha Ha!
@donnie you sure are a dumbazz.
I thought it was a funny movie, definitely worth the money i paid to see it.
Harry Potter sure is an incredible show. I wish it wasnt over.
Bradley Cooper cant be the next James Bond, you idiot. He isnt british.
Yeah, you can't be 007 if you're not British – Sean Connery
Does this mean we're gonna continue to see Bradley Cooper's terrible acting? What a phony poser! At least Brad Pitt has some talent.
1 of my few movie regrets was buying into the hype of the 1st one, I learned from my mistake. Americans are not the only idiots after all!
I won't watch this movie but I bet it is awesome!
Whoa
That was one of the most predictable waste of film I have ever seen.
Daniel radcliff should be the next james bond!
Part 2 sucked. Not funny but I will pay $ to see Bradley Cooper in anything. He should be the next James Bond – he is FINE!
where the hell did stomach cancer come in? mubarak supporter?
vote ron paul for president. that way i can live the hangover lifestyle a free man not controlled by govt.
love the hangover is soooo funny l.o.l.....
Hangover sucked
I've been using a litterbox for a week now instead of the toilet and alls I have to say is this...watching Hangover 2 is very similar. You leave with sand in your crack but oh so satisfied...num num baby!
Today when we can all get a good laugh because we need a good laugh is a good day!!!!

Bummer thethrifters.com was taken.
To me, it's a good accomplishment but it means squat. Movies are so overpriced these days, so to compare it to movies from 10+ years ago that were selling at half the cost, is ridiculous. Keep track of tickets sold and I'm sure it'd be telling a different story. 😉
Ridiculous argument. More people see movies these days because more people can afford it. Same with commercial flying.
Stop hatin the movie was funny other wise it wouldnt have made that much money. think about it, it did better than the first come on two thumbs up
Would't that be it is missing a 'm'? Who's the moron now?
Everyone keeps spelling it wrong. What are you? A bunch of nincompoops? You keep leaving the r out. It is spelled mormon. n o t moron. You dang mormons.
Go watch harry potter u nerd
I liked it but thought the first one was better. This one was predictable in many ways because of the first one.
There needs be an AA for films.
anyone who has the slightest bit of a sense of humour would appreciate the hangover II ..it was funny..my husband and I laughed the entire time. I am not surprised at the money it has brought in.
half the fun & double the nudity, triple the vulgarity of the original. stil worth a shot. hanging for hangover 3.
Saw #1 so thought the sequel would be just as good... NO! Got a few laughs, but otherwise, it was disgusting!
Still have not seen it and not planning too
Why would you comment then? Moron...
Oh good for you!
I would have enjoyed this more if galafanakis took a dump on a chicks chest after eating nachos bell grande.
I read this article and subsequent comments while wrestling a demon turd from my but. All good now! Flushed and wiped like a big boy!!
Doing the same myself
The first one rocked, the 2nd one is riding off the wave of the first but it still scores some points.
Yeah!!! The only reason why there is no more Chris Farley and David Spade movies is because Farley died. Wonder how many more flicks with have those 2 in it?
Jesus is a faker
And Mary was his baker
The movie is just as predictable as Home Alone 2. Should we shoot for a 3rd Hangover??
Guess what, ur in luck because they are already getting prepared to make Hangover 3. Read about a few days ago on yahoo.
Study for lsats or watch hangover 2...
Ehh screw lsats go hangover lol
It's has to be off the strength of the first movie, cuz the sequel sucked!
I want my $10 and my 2 hours back. It did suk.
It was good but I still can't get over the fact that when they get back to the wedding there was really no concern over Teddy's finger beyond is dad asking how he was and him responding "ok". He needed immediate treatment for possible infection and was obviously not ok.
Stfu josh. Grow up.
Its much better than the first one and much more graphic. Haha. Bit disgustin in some bits but overall, Mr. Chow and the guys pulled it off!
Holla city of squalor lol go Mr chow
Morecowbell!
Did I do that?
si muchacho. el fonzie es un muy bueno compadre.
eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
They have a sickness. It is just like the trolls. They cant help themselves.
That's a shame.
Too bad the movie was awful!
See, they know how to give people stomac cancer with Helicobacter pylori microaerophilic bacteria .
Exactly right. If Hollywood is spending many millions in making these movies, why can't they hire decent writers? You can't tell me that they can't do any better than this. Step up your game, Hollywood.
I want to post about Harry Potter some more. Not this stuff. Drunks are just stupid losers.
Ill ignore the fact that your comment was totally emasculating. But seriously if you dont have a valid comment aside from I dont like drunks GTFO. go post on your harry potter fan page and leave the people who enjoy real comedy alone and stay within the realm of reality.
Harry Potter the fem wizard, fear my little scepter stick thing!! Yeesh! Soo glad it's the last one!
This is a story about the Hangover not Harry Potter. Did you get lost somewhere along the way?
Josh,
Yes his comments were unnecessary. But please let me know when you find actual comedy...because this movie was about as funny as TB.
