‘Hangover’ disappoints

No, “The Hangover: Part III” is not like the first two, which were nearly identical to each other.

Although this installment strays from the bachelor party gone awry story, it still manges to keep the same, dumb, teenage humor for which the series is known.

Yes, the film is funny. But it has the same humor. If all director Todd Phillips knows how to do is make dumb fart jokes on screen, then that’s cool. Whatever makes a buck.

But if viewers are coming to “The Hangover: Part III” for a new experience in humor, they will be very disappointed.

Viewers who love that sort of disrespectful humor will laugh their pants off because that’s really all this film has to offer.

One different thing about “The Hangover: Part III” is the excessive amount of death. Is this what’s supposed to be funny these days? A wild giraffe gets decapitated from a freeway overpass. Yeah, hilarious.

Other animals get killed throughout the film as well. Come on, the giraffe was enough, and that was an accident. The others were actually murdered. Don’t tell me that’s “dark humor.”

The story itself is a little interesting at the beginning, but gets boring quickly. Viewers kind of forget what is going on in the first place with all the dumb punchlines and random fight scenes.

The villain in the film, Marshall (John Goodman) is played by the same guy who voices Sully from “Monster’s, Inc.”  This makes it very difficult not to visualize the Sully shooting guns and using profanity during this movie.

The one good thing worth mentioning about this film is that it didn’t seem to really drag on like the last one. Viewers weren’t exactly waiting for it to be over. The timing of the scenes were done very well, but that’s just good editing.

“The Hangover: Part III” is wrapping up the trilogy, not with the hunt for Doug (Justin Bartha), but for the infamous man named Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong), who is wanted for stealing more than $1 million worth of gold from Marshall.

Alan (Zach Galifianakis), Phil (Bradley Cooper), and Stu (Ed Helms) are kidnapped by Marshall, who gives them three days to find Chow and his gold, or Doug will be killed.

After a string of very strange events, the Wolfpack is able to find Chow. It really is amazing what these guys end up doing. Remember Bangkok and those strippers? Goodness, don’t watch those credits.

Every time the Wolfpack thinks it has Chow, he ends up one step ahead of the guys and stabs them in the back. The worst part is Alan views Chow as one of his best friends.

More crazy events like what happened in the other “Hangovers” happen and the Wolfpack eventually win, not with just Chow, but in many, many other ways.

I was personally disappointed with the film and actually felt hungover when I walked out of the theatre.

Thankfully, this is the last in the “Hangover” series.  This one barely earns 2.5 out of 4 Grizzly paws.
