20 Worst Movie Moments Of The Decade

17. The Hangover Part II - Shemale Hooker

Movie 43 Hugh Jackman
Warner Bros.

The Hangover Part II is not only one of the worst sequels of this decade, but arguably of all time. Nevertheless, 'sequel' is a term to be used loosely since this virtually remakes the original in a different setting but it also sucks out all of the joy, cast chemistry and lightness that made the original so good.

This is one of the ugliest comedy films of recent times, with the majority of the jokes being seriously nasty. The film's lowest moment by far is when the Wolfpack, while trying to work out what happened the previous night, visit a prostitute Stu (Ed Helms) encountered. It then turns out the prostitute is actually transgender and has a penis. Phil is disgusted and Stu is traumatised to learn that he had anal sex with the hooker.

This is supposed to be funny?

This is unpleasant, shock for shock's sake humour of the very worst order that has a really cruel vibe to it. Additionally, the way in which the film turns a trans character into an object of disgust and ridicule is highly uncomfortable.

Overall, R-rated comedy at its very worst.
