A movie so bad we don't even want you to waste your time by reading our review. If you're a sucker for punishment, then read on...
The epic finale to the
Hangover trilogy is an epic disaster. I
haven’t seen such a boring film at the cinema in quite a while. In fact, I didn’t want to even waste time
writing this review but figured if I keep writing reviews only for movies that
I like then everything you read here will have a score of four out of five or
more. So to keep things fair and make us
appear more objective, here’s our Hangover 3 review. We’ll try to keep this review short so we
don’t waste your life reading about a movie that would waste your life.
The story is focused around
Alan (Zach Galifianakis) once again playing the bumbling fool who is so
irritating that in real life this character would have been murdered at a young
age, most likely by his parents.
However, in terms of movies, this usually makes for good
entertainment.
It turns out that Chow (Ken
Jeong) from the previous two movies stole some gold from some bad guy called Marshall (John Goodman). As Alan is still in touch with Chow, Marshall takes Doug
(Justin Bartha) hostage and gives his pals Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed
Helms) and Alan a deadline within which to track down Chow and his gold
otherwise he’ll kill Doug. What ensues
in and around Vegas could’ve been so so funny – but it’s not!
So first off the bat you’ll
notice that there is actually no hangover in this movie. In fact I’m not even sure if this movie is a
comedy or not. I counted that I actually
only laughed twice during the entire film.
I wasn’t keeping track purposefully; I just happened to notice because
the movie was so dull that those two scenes woke me up from my near comatose
state, albeit briefly. The pacing was bad,
lots of scenes dragged and the whole thing just never took off. The mid-credits scene is too little too late
and probably should’ve been the first scene in this movie. Ultimately, I just wanted the film to end and couldn't care less about what was going on.
Don’t get me wrong; I
actually enjoyed the first two movies quite a lot. They took the whole stag party craziness to
another level, so much so, that my buddies and I agreed that if any of us ever
had a stag party it would have to be in Vegas!
Unfortunately, what spark there was in the previous two installments is now
long gone in this cheap attempt by the studios to milk the series for every
last penny it can.
It should be so easy to make
a film about a bunch of guys getting drunk and doing stupid things, but this
movie failed miserably.
A confused movie that doesn’t
know if it’s meant to be a comedy or a criminal heist movie, save your money and
watch one of the much better alternatives playing in cinemas right now.
One to avoid.
Rating 1.5 out of 5.
