Yeah, I have to review it for a website...
And I know I'll hate this film, despite the exceptional talents of the cast, it's only going to be the last film, with the same jokes, in a new location. And Ed Helms, Ken Jeong and Zach Galifianakis won't get to do the schtick that they do when they're funny, again, instead just the stuff from the first film, which really isn't 'them', sadly.

But, everyone else loves it, so why should I be moaning?
You're not alone, I thought it was absolutely dire too.

Loved the first one as it was a then-fresh surprise but this one just grew tiresome as all the supposedly 'unexpected' moments were clearly signposted, seriously, I pity anyone who is 'surprised' that the lap dancer is a lady-boy.....

bridesmaids will kick this movies ass as it appeals to both men and women and after the disaster of Sex in the City 2 audiences are desperate for female characters who resemble actual people!

Maybe Bridesmaid 2 might beat The Hangover 3, but no chance of Bridesmaid 1 defeating Hangover 2

Alot of films follow that formula.... I think if they didn't follow the formula, there will be more of an uproar

This legal case helped create buzz for the film and there was the possibility it could delay the release date but has now been dismissed.

As awful as expected, and more offensive than I expected. Pretty sure there's a joke that's borderline rape in it.
