The Hangover Part II - Preview
(Advance Screenings on 26th May)
Director - Todd Phillips (Previous Film: Due Date)
In a nutshell....
Stu is to get married but wants to have a safe and subdued pre wedding brunch after what happened in Vegas. Along with Phil, Alan and Doug, Stu goes to Thailand for his wedding. Things go haywire when the men lose the 16year old brother of Stu's fiancee and end up realising they don't know how they lost him.
In 2009 came a movie that broke all records of making people laugh out loud. They went in massive numbers to watch that film again, and again and over and over again. It was a cult of sorts, and was tagged as the best adult comedy in a long long time. It's 2011, and the makers are offering us a sequel to the magnanimous hit, Hangover. Alan, Phil, Stu and Doug have almost become household names after the worldwide success of the first part, so much that everybody is dying to watch the sequel. The best part about Hangover was that it was an adult comedy that wasn't cheap, which very few writers and directors are able to achieve. It seems Todd Phillips knows the pulse of the cine goers. This time his leading men move West, and with a whole new cultural difference it'd be very interesting to see how the sequences turn out to be. I'm extremely eager to watch this film like most other Hangover fans. The trailer promises a exactly what we saw in the first film, humour and more humour. An earth shattering box office opening is a guarantee, worldwide, because of the fan following and a long weekend.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid - Rodrick Rules - Preview
Studio – Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation (Previous Film: Dum Maaro Dum)
Director - David Bowers (Previous Film: Astro Boy)
In a nutshell....
George and Rodrick Heffley's parents want their kids to bond well as they return to school after holidays. Now, the kids have to tackle and deal with their parent's misguided attempts to get them together.
The first Wimpy Kid film looked like a sitcom and this one doesn't look different either. But who cares when you enjoy the film with some funny situations and comical characters who make you and your family laugh. The first film did a nice job on the box office which also encouraged the makers to come up with a sequel. Besides, this book adaptation gets better as the director of Flushed Away and Astro Boy has called the shots. Thus I expect this film to tickle my funny bone more than the first one did. The reviews from the US, however, say that the first one was better but there's not huge huge gulf between the two. Certainly a family watch for this weekend.
