The Hangover III



I went into this reluctantly.

I watched the original, but I must be in the minority, because I didn’t think it was all that. It was decent, but not great. Hangover II I heard was repeat of the original and not very good and that was true. Rehashing jokes makes the jokes non-funny. I understand it still made money. So do to studio formula, the trilogy has to be made. It will make money. Damn the quality. And that is true.

Watching Hangover III was the longest, most excruciating experience I’ve had in a long time. As my wife said several times how stupid this was, she continued to watch it. I asked her not once but twice, we have other movies to watch. Nada. So I had to sit there for 90+ minutes and watch something less interesting than grass growing. I’m not going to get into the details, except for one. This was all about Chow, and he’s not funny. I didn’t think any of the characters were funny this time around.

I wasted too much time writing this about this crap. I can’t even recommend this to a fan of the series.


A Haunted House



It is what it is. It doesn’t try to hide the silliness. While it falls squarely into all the other lame spoofs, I think it does so with a mocking attitude of the movies it emulates, and that just gives it some spice of entertainment that makes this not a total loss. A haunted House is only unique in the sense that it copies the filming technique of the Paranormal Activity movies with camera’s stationed throughout the house and the handheld camera. I went into this too with little expectations. It  does have a Wayan’s involved and I pretty much enjoy their brand of humor. This does not disappoint. The humor is immature and crass… a lot. Mostly sexual innuendo. There were two scenes that made me laugh so hard, I had tears. Yet 75% of movie is just meh. Not a total loss, but I sure enjoyed this a 1000 times more than Hangover III
