Directed by: Todd Phillips
Starring: Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifinakis
Rating: C+
More than expected, but that's not to say it was great. The other Hangover movies are filled with debauchery and confused attempts to reach the goal of finding lost characters. This installation was smarter, more focused and contained less debauchery. This movie's formula is more sophisticated and signals the maturation of the characters. All though they still like to have a good time, they're not as dumb about it. Those who were expecting a stupidly good time won't be disappointed, especially if you stay through the credits. Those who seek a little more quality in their low brow movies will be slightly pleased with the stronger storyline and the character development.
There has been some speculation as to whether the "Wolf Pack Trilogy" is truly over. The movie ends on a moment of finality, however there's always a way to bring a franchise back for more. However, there may not be much more the director can do without jumping the shark.
