Fear of Missing Out: that's what drove me to Hangover Part III. You liked the first one, gave #2 a chance, why not see #3?
No need to recall the cast... everyone is here again. This time Alan is starting to wig out, so the gang is drafted to drive him to a rehab facility in Arizona. Detours ensue, and they wind up in Mexico. The star has morphed from Zach Galifianikis to Ken Jeong. Amazing how he took a bit part and made the most of it.
One good thing about Part III is that it falls into parody of itself as well as other movies: Midnight Cowboy, as well as every Mexico movie you've ever seen. Even a nice dead body in the pool a la Sunset Boulevard.
Interestingly, the original Hangover was on TV tonight, and it was amazing how fresh it still seemed.
