there are certain movies that should NEVER have a sequel...The Wizard of Oz (Return to Oz was TERRIBLE!), The Blues Brothers (Seriously...no Belushi means no sequel), Jaws, and now this...

I wouldn't go as far as saying it sucked... But it certainly aint no Hangover!
By just about any standards of film making, writing, comedic performances, or story telling device, Dude Where's My Car is a piss poor, terrible movie. It's in the szme boat of "popular, but fucking awful" movies as Porky's series, Harold & Kumar and Van Wilder. Simply disgraceful films that should never be compared to the likes of Hangover. The Hangover actually holds a noticeable amount of legitimate praise.
And Pondo, I obviously agree... unless the original was created with a sequel in mind, and they're not doing it based on the original's success.

Excuse me Steven Spielberg... I never said it was a work of art. Also, I never compared the two movies, I actually said they are nothing alike. It's one of those movies that is so stupid it's funny.
I agree with Pondo, let it be! Oh as for Wizard of OZ, Wicked is, should I say, wicked good! steven Spielberg, I maen Bishop, I liked the Porky, thought it was funny. and Dude where's my car was just dumb!
Dude Where's My Car sucked. The Hangover was one of the most classic comedies of the decade.
That said, I don't know what to think of this.
^^I definitely agree with both those statements.
If done properly, this could be good. I hope the studio takes a laissez-faire approach and lets the writers / producers / director do their thing. I'm just afraid of some studio execs coming in and forcing them to take out all the good jokes so it can get a PG-13 rating, or dumb it down to make it more commercially viable - which is what happened with Dave Chappelle's original script for Half Baked. I don't think sequels are necessarily bad; I just think too often it ends up not as a creative decision, but moreso "we've made a hit! Now let's milk it for everything it's worth." Anyway, I remember reading a while ago in an article about a potential Old School 2 that Todd Phillips was against making sequels, but IMDb already has a page for The Hangover 2, so I guess it's a go for now.

I can only imagine the shenanigans that will go down in Thailand.
This is exactly what I was thinking.
Also, Porky's is a masterpiece of cinematic idiocy. Dude Where's My Car did not inspire dozens, (if not hundreds) of copycat movies over the last 30 years.

Love Return to Oz! The electroshock scene in the beginning was a fantasically creepy way to start the film, and probably exactly what would have happened to Dorothy if she came back ranting to everyone about going to that crazy magical loony land over the rainbow.
Also, Return To Oz is way more faithful to the tone of the original stories than Wizard of Oz ever tried to be. Not knocking Wizard, it is a classic. But Return to Oz is one badass film, IMO
I thought The Hangover was good. I like Zach Galifianakis's stand up comedy. His character in the movie tended to be almost a little like Brick Tamland from Anchorman (and subsequently like Steve Carell's character from Dinner for Shmucks). Just kind of cheap laughs almost. It wasn't the funniest movie ever, but it was solid. Can't say I'm a fan of Bradley Cooper, either. But The Hangover was good enough to warrant a sequel, however I feel it may go the direction of Dumb and Dumberer and tarnish the original.
That is true. Dumb and Dumber is still as much a classic as ever. I guess I just don't want to be disappointed by a sequel to one of my recent favorite comedies.
I was skeptical of this when I heard about it. Then I remembered I was skeptical of Harold and Kumar 2. I thought "How could they make a sequel of that? Just leave it alone!" I laughed my ass off at H&K2 and after seeing the trailer for The Hangover 2, I think I will for that too.
