In the latest, and hopefully last installment of Todd Phillips’ ludicrously successful
Hangover Trilogy,
the ‘Wolf Pack’ – Alan (Zach Galifianakas), Phil (Bradley Cooper) and
Stu (Ed Helms) – find themselves at the mercy of a mob boss, Marshall
(John Goodman), who has been ripped off by Mr Chow (Ken Jeong).
Threatening to kill the token hostage, Doug (Justin Bartha), he
instructs them to locate Chow, who has just broken out of prison, and
his missing gold bullion. The reason they are intercepted on the road?
Callow man-child Alan has gone off his meds and his behaviour has
escalated into new realms of ‘destructive’ so his friends agree to
escort him to a psych facility.
The basis for this plot is a series of extended loose ends, which no
one knew existed and have been drawn from very thin influences. The
repercussions of their adventures in Vegas and Bangkok led to the events
in this film, but the motivation behind it seems to be the ludicrous
idea to have the intolerable Chow enter their lives again.
