Hangover 3 movie review- by Chris Stuckmann

Full text transcript of the Hangover 3 movie review:

I’m so very glad that I was able to get this poster for The Hangover, Part three for my Hangover Part three review, I’m going to put this in my background now. I think I will put it right here for for this review, because I would like to have this poster here. In my background, right next to The Avengers and Drive.

So I’ll just I’ll put it right there for the review.

The Hangover Part three is directed by Todd Phillips and stars Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Ken Jeong, Heather Graham and John Goodman. This is the third film in a very unexpected Hangover trilogy. You wouldn’t really expect that a film like The Hangover would spawn to sequels and make a trilogy out of it. But it did. The First Hangover was an original movie that had an interesting premise and likable characters and some interesting comedy. Even though a lot of people don’t really find it that funny, which I can understand, it had a different vibe to it, which was kind of cool. Hangover Part two is really just a big copy off the first one where it felt like they were just trying to do everything again, just in a different location and it just didn’t work. So in Hangover Part three, the changing of the plot a little bit, but a lot of the same essential things stick with it. In this film, John Goodman kidnaps the Wolfpack and forces them to find Ken Jong’s character, Chow, because he stole a ton of gold from John Goodman. So the Wolfpack sets out on a mission to find Chow and bring him back to John Goodman.

Every once in a while, a movie will come along that is just so blessed that it’s really hard for me to muster up any type of enthusiasm to talk about it. The Hangover, Part three is such a mediocre movie, there’s just nothing really here. And it seems like everyone involved that is just straining to try to find something funny to do or something big and larger than life and huge and out of this world, it just seems like most people involved in this production, including the actors, are just like grasping at straws, trying to find some little nugget of comedy to be able to extract out of this franchise, to be able to get as much money as they can out of it.

It’s just such a black movie. There’s just really nothing about this movie that is really remarkable. And I can’t really pinpoint anything about it that is just so, like, awful, you know, like I can’t really rant about this movie. It’s just so middle of the road, mediocre. I like most all the actors in this movie, especially Bradley Cooper, who honestly kind of feels like he’s beyond this at this point because he’s good as his character. He just doesn’t want to be there. It just it really seems that way. As you watch this movie, I’m just seeing Silver Linings Playbook and the Place Beyond the Pines and being blown away by his performance is he was Oscar nominated for Silver Linings Playbook. And when you watch this movie, it just really feels like most of the people are just kind of getting what they can out of it. And it just doesn’t really feel like there’s anything left in the franchise because the first movie did it already. It’s one of those movies where it’s like it doesn’t really need a sequel. It’s just as likable characters. But it did everything in the first movie. It’s a hangover and they had a big fun hangover. OK, well, you don’t have to send them on some thriller, basically, because this movie really is essentially a thriller more than it is a comedy. And that’s one of the weird things about this movie, is it tries to balance like shootouts and car chases and kidnappings, gliding off of a building and scaling a building where you might fall and die. And then it’s sidetracks that with like really sophomoric humor, mostly from Zach Galifianakis and an extremely annoying to me. Can John, Kim Jong has this thing that he’s kind of done for himself, this little thing he’s etched out for himself in Hollywood, where he plays these really loudmouth, fast talking idiots and he’s good at it.

But it’s one of those things where, if you like the character of Chow, you’ll probably like this movie a lot more than I did because I don’t really like that character. Every other scene of this movie, he’s in your face and he has these really long monologues and a karaoke song and stuff. And it just really, really grates on the nerves. My nerves. Anyway, if you like that character, it’s going to be fun for you to see him, because in this movie, a lot like he’s just all over the place in this movie. But it really became annoying for me and I couldn’t really stand his character anymore. I just got to be honest, I didn’t really find this movie that funny. And when a comedy isn’t funny, you know that that’s kind of in The Hangover. Part three is not an awful movie. It’s not terribly directed. It’s not horribly acted or anything. It just it feels like everyone involved with this production was just kind of going through the numbers, making the third movie, OK, let’s do it again. There just wasn’t really anything special or remarkable about this movie at all. And it wasn’t very funny. And the times where it was trying to be really super funny, it just kind of came off annoying. I’m going to give The Hangover part three, a C minus, if you like. The first one and the second one, you probably find some enjoyment watching this one. As always, guys, thanks for watching.
