  • The Hangover Part III 2013

    ★½ Watched 23 May, 2013

    The Hangover Part III is a mirthless, dark, depressing, unfunny slog, with a group of individuals who long since should have left each other behind. Todd Phillips and company believe that killing animals, the “quirks” of sociopaths and mocking everyone who isn't a straight white male is funny and the zany, weird, raunchy humor of the first film is nowhere to be found.

    One of my favorite movies. Great mix of fantasy and horror. Also one of the most beautiful and visually stunning works of the 21st century. A great adult fable.
