The Hangover Part III

Hey, remember that remake of "The Hangover" that takes place in Bangkok, that is strangely named "The Hangover 2"? Well you may have heard that that remake has got a sequel! And for some reason, it's called "The Hangover Part 3".

The wolf pack is back for the third installment of what should have been a one part movie! Following the Déj á Vu filled second installment to the series, Todd Phillips takes a surprisingly more serious approach to the series, often times stepping away from the comedy and throwing in some drama that may or may not get you in the feels.

Am I the only one who'd much rather see a movie with Doug as the third guy

rather than Stu? I'm not an Ed Helms fan.

On their way to take Alan to rehab, the gang is ambushed by a truck of men in Pig masks. They kidnap the wolf pack and take them to John Goodman (I refuse to call him by his characters name in any movie. Because John Goodman is better than you.) John Goodman explains that Chow (hard not to call him Chang. #sixseasonsandamovie) has stolen roughly 29 Million dollars worth of Gold Bars from him, and if they don't bring Chang... I mean Chow back to him, he will kill Doug.

Why always Doug? Justin Bartha is a much better actor than Ed Helms!

Anyway. A surprisingly sober form of chaos ensues. You know... it's "The Hangover" franchise. If you're expecting a Scorsese-esque Drama, or Brooks-esque comedy, you're looking in the wrong place. It's stupid humor. And there is nothing wrong with that.

Other than the frequent intense moments, this is exactly what you'd expect from Todd Phillips. College humor. Nothing more and nothing less. It was great the first time. It's OK the 3rd time.

My Grade: C+
