The first Hangover movie was a great movie. Possibly one of the funniest of the past ten or so years. If you enjoy comedy movies then you’ve seen it more than once and you appreciate it’s madness. The second one was solid too, but I totally get people’s argument that they just did the same things over again just in a different location. There was a lot of “we already saw that, but it’s still funny” moments. The problem is that we all loved the first one so much that we did watch it a few times. When you see it again and again and again you think you want the same thing, but you’re just numbing yourself to it. I’m not saying it was sterile or uninspired, but it just lacked that magic of the first. That said, I’m still in for more. I’m excited as hell to see what the “The Wolfpack” is up to this time around. From the information released and the little we’ve seen I’m pretty confident that this one will really mix it up and take us on a fucked up ride. We know there’s no wedding, bachelor party, or any of the same devices from before. They’re going a different route and you can’t help but get excited about the mystery. The cast is already sharp as hell, but the addition of John Goodman and the return of Heather Graham just puts it over the edge of coolness. Todd Phillips is a smart guy and I’m sure he and the guys have a lot of passion invested. I’m confident they’ll go out on a strong note.
