Verdict: Decent but nothing memorable
Director: Todd Philips (Hangover series, Road Trip)
Cast: Bradley Cooper (A Team, Limitless), Ed Helms (The Office - TV series), Zach Galifianakis (Hangover Series, Due Date), Ken Jeong (Hangover series, Community - Tv series), John Goodman (The Flintstones, Monsters Inc)
Story : The wolfpack is assaulted. Doug is kidnapped. They must now find Mr Chow and $ 21 mn worth of gold bars to save Doug.
Review: No parties, no retracing steps and most importantly no hangovers this time around. This is a much more straightforward movie which feels more like an action comedy. After the flak the director received for Part 2, kudos to him for trying to attempt something different.
The end result is funny, entertaining at times, however not even close to the original. Alan's character and behavior seems more forced, Phil and Stu have less to do as compared to the previous parts, Mr Chow has a bigger role and is fun at times while John Goodman's is at his intimidating best.
Overall a time pass movie, worth a watch if you have nothing else to do, but a tame end to a disappointing series, despite the amazing start.
P.S. Why all the animal cruelty. Beheading giraffes, smothering chickens, snapping necks of dogs. All this is just not funny.
