Review of The Hangover Part III (2013) by Jamie J — 14 Mar 2016

Picture the scene. If you will. You make a comedy film, for all accounts a pretty funny one. Hollywood then spends an endless and inordinate amount of time telling you that you're the next big thing, no the biggest fucking thing to land in years.

I can only imagine that's how as inexplicable as it is that The Hangover got a first sequel, let alone went the full Hobbit and made an unnecessary trilogy out of affairs that fit newly into one 90 minute film.

While not as downright bland as Part 2, The Hangover part 3 at least tries to be different, throwing away the desperate attempts at comedy for a more bleak, black comedy flavour. Although I raised a giggle a few times (perhaps 3?) during the Wolf packs supposed final outing. Till they go the whole American Pie and do a pointless 4th effort ten years later, I couldn't help but just sit there and wonder the meaning of humanity and why we are here. An easier question to define an answer to than just why this film exists. I will stress again though it really isn't as bad as part 2. Just isn't any better either.
