The Hangover Part III (2013) 6/10

Starring : Bradley Copper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Ken Jeong, Heather Graham, Jeffrey Tambor, Justin Bartha, John Goodman
Director : Todd Phillips
Running Time : 100 mins

When his father Sid (Tambor) has a heart attack and dies, Alan (Galifianakis) is taken to the hospital by the Wolfpack, who believe he needs to be treated for his mental issues. But on the way, they are attacked and Doug (Bartha) is once again kidnapped by a gang who demand the others deliver the recently escaped from prison Mr Chow (Jeong) to them or they will kill him.

This was a horrible end to an otherwise great series, with a plot that has little or nothing to do with being hung over. I think the main problem with this apparently final instalment of the series is that it focuses too much on the character of Alan, who works as a secondary characters but falls apart when too much attention is placed on him. We are given an unlikeable insight into not only Alan, but the rest of the Wolfpack who, it seems, become even less likeable when they sober up. Their drunkenness worked well in the previous movies as an excuse for them, but here they have no excuse for being so unpleasant. I’d advise simply watching the mid-credits scene, which basically is what this whole movie should have been.
