Hangover 3 promises to be different, says grain of salt

Now, for the record, I liked The Hangover Part II. It retread familiar territory, sure, but what do you expect from a sequel of a movie about some dudes who black out after a night of binge drinking? Sometimes I think you expect too much from Hollywood, you savages.

Anyways, the boys are back for a third go ’round in The Hangover Part III and the productions first official plot description promises something different:

“This time, there’s no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.”

Simple. To the point. Enticing. A while back, Zack Galifianakis claimed the film would “be about his character, Alan, getting locked up in a mental institution and the rest of the crew having to come together and break him out.” Sure, okay, I’m intrigued. Director Todd Phillips more recently added that they are “going to surprise a lot of people with the final chapter we have planned…It will be a fitting conclusion to our three-part opera of mayhem, despair and bad decisions.” Oh, and it may take place in Tijuana, which obviously means donkey show jokes, and I bet someone will drink the water.

Will they deliver on these promises? We’ll have to wait and find out on May 24th, 2013. Start counting the days!
