Review: 'The Hangover 3" is not even trying but okay

"The Hangover: Part 3" R
Returning for a third insult to sanity, the Wolf Pack is again thrust into the desert and forced to get some gold from a mobster, played by John Goodman, who holds one of them ransom until they get the gold that Chow stole from the mobster in the first film. Along the way, the gang hand planned an intervention on their obese friend who started it all, but they don't ever get to that. They have no actual hangover until the end credits where someone gets a boob job they shouldn't have. The movie is such a mess giving away that will not spoil it. Some critics though were unfair. It is justy about as funny as the second one and not much darker, except it seems angrier. The death defying stunts at one point make for a puzzling chase gag involving a parachute and a limousine, in busy downtown Vegas, which is impossible as they could not really do that, but the rest of the film doesn't take any cues from rationality.And the big guy eventually meets a girl in this one. Someone has to get married in order for there to be a third hangover. Actually why didn't they get Mike Tyson again? John Goodman chews scenery as a parody of Brandaw kind of, but comes off more as a mean Fred Flintstone. If you liked the first two this is a little disappointing, like having gone to too many wild parties and growing bored of it. If you hated them it will give you new reasons. It didn't bother me either way. It was sort of meh.
