As if the details (bachelor’s, drugging, wedding) were what made the first movie fun, and not the actual mechanics of the plot. “H2” was all about the characters driving around going, “Remember how this all happened before?”

I would love to think that the recreation of Eddie Adams’ photo as the LAST IMAGE YOU SEE OF THIS MOVIE was a serious avant-garde gesture. It retroactively cast a pall over the entire film, seeming to “call out” the links between U.S. military imperialism and party-tourism economics. But that would be giving Phillips too much credit.

I thought that she was the only good part of the first movie (she and also Mike Tyson). I think she is an incredibly fine comedic actress who doesn’t get recognition for it because she makes it look so easy. There’s this part in the first movie where she says “I’m so silly” in this certain way…
