The Hangover: Part 3 - Review

The movie itself had many, many great pun lines and lots of laughs. That is probably why I enjoyed it, if it weren’t for that, it probably would have been a miserable hour and forty minutes. However, I didn’t understand the concept of this movie being called “The Hangover” as there is relatively no drinking involved what so ever in the film. There is one scene where Phil, Stu, and Alan go to a bar, but nothing major occurs. The plot of the film revolves around famed criminal mastermind, Leslie Chow who stole 42 million dollars from a drug lord, Marshall (John Goodman) as Marshall threatens to kill Phil, Stu, and Alan’s old mate, Doug if the money and Chow aren’t returned to him. I won’t give anything more than that. The film should have been called “Fending the Marshall” or “Another Mastermind of Leslie Chow.” It was really a disappointment that no hangover roll out story occurred like in the previous two films, in which I was looking forward to seeing a third rendition of. I guess maybe “The Hangover on Broadway” can handle that deja vu. However, on a plus side of the film, the additions of the roles and cameos of Mike Epps, Melissa McCarthy, and John Goodman made the movie a tad more pleasurable. I guess if your down for a good laugh one night, check this film out. Don’t expect any good story aside from seeing another dilemma caused by the mastermind of Leslie Chow.

My rating – 3/5

Here I am with Bradley Cooper (Phil)

Here I am with Jeffrey Tambor (Sid Garner)
