The Hangover part III!!!!

The Hangover part III.

Third and no doubt final instalment of The Hangover comedy franchise and it sees the original group come back together to help out their buddy Alan (Zach Galifianakis) deal with the death of his father. As Alan starts to act out of the ordinary (beheading a giraffe on a motorway) his friends come together to take him to rehab but are diverted and that's when things get out of hand and out of their hands as well.

As the four guys are on their way across the country they are kidnapped and bundled into a van and taken to the drug lord Marshall (John Goodman). As Doug (Justin Bartha) is taken as a bargaining chip the three remaining friends have to go and find the recently escaped crazed Mr Chow (Ken Jeong) and retrieve Marshalls gold bars or Doug dies. 

As the trio Alan, Stu (Ed Helms) and Phil (Bradley Cooper) travel back to where it all started Vegas they try to track down and capture the crazed Mr Chow. Soon enough they catch up with him and all chaos ensues from breaking into a house, letting out some crazed cocaine fuelled fighting chickens and hanging of the edge of the tallest hotel in Las Vegas the guys get up to everything.

Obviously I can't give too much away but all I can say is that it's nothing we haven't already seen before. It feels to me that the film studio was pressured by fans of the films to make a third film to finish the franchise off perfectly. Deciding to follow a different storyline and run with Alan having problems in which the friends take a road trip is a nice change from the constant try to recollect what happened the night before feel of a film. 

The characters are up to their usual tricks and all the actors portray and slip back into the characters quite well. Alan and Mr Chow are of course the most outrageous and funny characters in the film but the laughs are not laugh out loud belly laughing their barely just little titters of laughs which is a shame. To me the one seriously funny moment that had the cinema laughing properly was after the credits when you see what happened after Alan gets married, does this mean another film in the franchise.......who knows.

Overall a good film but something that feels rushed and put out onto screens just to please the fans which in my mind is not the right reason to make a film but hey the fans love it so why not put it out. 

4/10.
