Borefest!

Rating: 3/10 (20 September 2013)

Hangover 3 was the worst sequel to be released this summer. Singularly unfunny, unbearably scripted, and unfeelingly acted, thank god the trilogy ended. I do not even see the reason for this being a Hangover film, considering that none of the characters actually have a single drink, forget about a hangover.
Ah, but Todd Philips was seeking closure after all. So we have one last adventure of the Wolf pack, up against their nemesis Chow, Alan finally growing up and only because he finds his lady love. While the headless giraffe at the start pointed to a truly wacky finale, the ride went downhill all throughout. Less of a raunchy comedy and more like a run of the mill action thriller, this is a movie that leads its loyal fans to an endless journey into nothingness. Bradley Cooper sleepwalked through the movie, Zack Galifianikis and Ed Helms put slightly more effort, John Goodman seems to be itching to disappear from every scene he is in, while Ken Jeong is the usual party popper that he is in every movie he acts.
There is nothing to even sum up for The Hangover 3, except to say that I am terribly disappointed, and that itself is an understatement- 3/10
