The Hangover Pt. III: The End- A Whimpering End to the "Adultolescent" Trilogy that has Very Little Amusement but Loads of Ugliness and Cruelty
Rating:
More often than not people end up learning the hard way that it's
usually better to leave a good thing well enough alone, which might be
a lesson truly lived in regards to the quality of what can be deemed as
The Hangover trilogy. When the exceptionally lazy Hangover Pt. II was
released two years ago it highlighted the immense limitations of
director Todd Phillips' storytelling capabilities as it traveled a
carbon copy of the first film's intoxicated mystery and amplified
vulgarity to different scenery but forgot to bring the laughs along for
the trip. Now it seems the Todd Phillips created Hangover trilogy has
taken to unintentionally embodying the stages of an actual hangover
with the first installment's introduction serving as the party, the
dirtier and lazier sequel acting as an unconscious blacked out sleep,
and the newest final part becoming a nauseous, unbearable aftermath.
The Hangover Pt. III: The End promises the conclusion of what could
have been a respectable "adultolescence" comedy franchise and after
experiencing the third installments descent into darkness and
bitterness let's hope it's a promise that is inevitably kept. Todd
Phillips and co-screenwriter Craig Mazin (Identity Thief, Scary Movie
3) have tossed aside all sense of wit, surprise, and genuine humor this
time around replacing those qualities evident in the first Hangover
with sociopathic cruelty, foreseeable plot changes, and zero sense of
amusement diminishing any admirable attempt to change up the plot
formula. All the fondness audiences have gained towards the characters
of Alan (Zach Galifianakis), Phil (Bradley Cooper), and Stu (Ed Helms)
will be tainted in this final chapter as a mixture of performance
idleness, poor script follow through, and a lens focusing on their
purely sober qualities makes these three characters less than
sympathetic, even bordering on incredibly unlikeable. What's ironic is
that Todd Phillips has gone out of his way to appease the vilest of
criticisms towards his uncreative writing and yet ends up highlighting
his true creative limitations by not being able to drift away from a
familiar structure. Unfortunately for fans of the series and audience
members hoping for a strong summer comedy The Hangover Pt. III: The End
ends this less than comedic trilogy with a desperate whimper and
through its mean-spiritedness becomes a barely recognizable thread to
the humorous and delightfully ill-mannered film that started it all.
