Hangover 3 - We had a sick night, bitches

Why did I go see this movie? So many people asked me why? I will be honest, I loved the first one. I did, there, I said it! I'm not ashamed! But this franchise didn't spiral down hill slowly, like most do. It hit rock bottom on the sequel and the third one was a desperate climb to hit a happy medium again. Well I can at least assume that's what they were going for. Hangover 3 starred: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Ken Jeong and John Goodman. The director was Todd Phillips who directed the Hangover trilogy, Due Date and Old School. Would you believe that Ken Jeong is a licensed M.D.? Yeah, the guy is a doctor, who'd a thunk? Before this movie even came out, and they were calling this film the end of the series. I kinda figured it was because Bradley Cooper was getting too big for these kinds of films. The accolades he has received in other roles has set him above such projects. He is making his way up that acting ladder. Even in this role I enjoyed his work. Yeah, yeah, ladies he's easy on the eyes. But you must look past that, and you will see that with each film he does, his acting improves substantially. It's remarkable. Films like this are beneath him...for now. I could count on one hand, the times I laughed during this movie. Being a comedy, there shouldn't be an excuse for that. Galifianakis's antics that were supposed to be funny, were more annoying than anything. The humor and story got stale very quickly. It was missing something, this film desperately needed something to save it. That something did not appear until after the first few moments of credits. I laughed, I laughed hysterically, and that's the movie I wanted to see. I wanted to know what the hell happened THAT night. But, alas, we don't always get what we want. Along with the language and male nudity, this was a below average movie. Don't get excited, I've seen popcorn kernels bigger than what I saw. I give Hangover 3 a 1 out of 4. What have I become, my sweetest friend? Everyone I know, goes away, in the end. You could have it all...
