As every movie nowadays deserves multiple sequels, it's only fitting that "The Hangover" gets their last hoorah. The third installment of the series is coming to theaters Memorial Day weekend with a new adventure. No, no one is getting married and there isn't a need for a bachelor party. So what's the third movie about? Glad you asked.
The initial teaser had fans scratching their heads and trying to guess the premise of "The Hangover Part III." Why has the Wolfpack come together again? During the two minute preview, we see Alan (Zach Galifianakis) singing at a funeral. Soon - he and buds Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) are back in Las Vegas without explanation. There are scenes of prison, hotel mayhem and glimpses of John Goodman. If this were any other film, one might question its purpose but seeing as it's "The Hangover Part III" - it gets a pass.
Thankfully more pieces have completed this puzzle as the official trailer explains it all. The funeral seen in both previews is that of Alan's father and as an effect, causes him to go off his medication for over six months. Worried about his downward spiral, Alan's friends and family perform an intervention in hopes to get him treatment. Everything seems to be fine until John Goodman and his crew forces them off their charted course. Calling the Wolfpack by name (not revealed how Goodman's character knows), he reveals Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) stole $21 million dollars from him escaping prison. As he believes the guys can find Mr. Chow, Goodman's character orders them to bring Chow to him taking Doug as leverage. With Doug now gone and his physical well-being in question, the guys must search aimlessly for Chow. They eventually find him and thus begin their new adventure. "We can't be friends anymore," Alan tells Chow. "When we get together, bad things happen and people get hurt."
It all ends with this film as there are no talks to create a fourth movie. "The Hangover Part III" opens in theaters May 24.
