The Hangover 2, With Mel Gibson as a Cameo

The new fad, it would appear, is that if your movie is successful the first time around, it simply must have a sequel. The hangover 2 continues this trend.

Currently Warner Brothers is filming The Hangover 2, and they've booked Mel Gibson to make a cameo. As this post points out, another current popular trick is to get a role in an R rated comedy to get careers back on track. It points out that Tom Cruise and Mike Tyson did it, so why not Mel Gibson? While these trends seem tired and old, if Gibson had to pick a movie that he hoped would revive his career and make everyone forget all of the bad publicity he's been getting, perhaps a sequel to 'The Hangover' might not have been the best choice. The Hangover was considered by many crude at best, so if you want to make people forget some racist, homophobic and sexist comments that you've made, perhaps there are better movies. Then again, maybe they're trying to make some of the things that he said as mislead jokes. Either way, it's doubtful that it will result in anything besides much eye rolling and some immature jokes.
