The Hangover Part III (2013) Review

The Hangover Part III did the opposite of what The Hangover Part II did. While Part II copied everything and didn't make anything new, Part III ditched everything from the previous films and created a whole new formula. And it wasn't half bad. At least, not as bad as it's been criticized and hated. It's a thousand times better than Part II because we're not sitting through the same movie again. Part III is thoroughly entertaining, somewhat original, and has a satisfying ending. It's good. It's fresher than the second installment. It's underrated. But it's far from the best. Part III doesn't even come close to matching the quality of the first installment. For a big reason. It lost it's comedic tone. Part III isn't funny at all, it's weird and oddly dark, not fitting the fun of the first. It held my attention, but I'm not sure it deserved my attention.
Movie Rating: B
