The Laugh-Free Hangover Part III Trailer Is Here

They promised this wasn't a retread of The Hangover third time out.

That puts Todd Phillips in a Damned If You Do, Don't If You Don't predicament. Of his own doing, granted. He bold-faced lied about The Hangover Part II not copying the plot beats of the 2009 original.

You change things up and audiences, now familiar with what a Hangover movie is, might sour at it, especially after the first sequel's reception. Or you replicate the first film thrice and admit you're a liar, have little respect for the millions who gave you their hard-earned money in good faith and out of (good) ideas. So yeah seeing the trailer for The Hangover Part III tells me it's gonna be a different, even if slightly, beast. I'll give them that.

Alan (Zack Galifianakis) riding down the Interstate with a Giraffe with violent results? Not funny, but it's different! Don't worry, there's still going to be more of Ken Jeong's unfunny Chow to hog screen-time. And if he's in luck Justin Bartha's dialogue might go beyond one page this time.
