It appears Todd Phillips received the memo. After the successful sequel, “The Hangover: Part II,” was released in 2011, there was a great swell of disappointment, watching co-writer/director Phillips basically remake his original 2009 feature, merely switching locales and stakes but retaining the same crude sense of humor and trust in comedic madness. Perhaps aware of the apathetic response to “Part II,” “The Hangover: Part III” heads in a fresh direction, with a new plot and a different focus on certain characters. It’s not exactly an apology, but the production’s once mighty devotion to hard R-rated chaos has been dialed down considerably, coming off affectionate toward the Wolf Pack as they embark on their final disaster.
