'Hangover 3?' How Much More Can Their Livers Stand?

Haven’t had enough of your favorite alcohol-swilling, self-Rohypnolinglone Wolf packers yet?

Are you sure?

Well, they’re doing it anyway.

“The Hangover: Part III” is currently in the works, and there’s nothing you can do to stop it. Warner Bros. recently released their new promo image for the film, featuring, shockingly enough, a lone wolf.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I loved “The Hangover.” Great movie. Funny. Smart premise. But then, piggy-backing on the movie’s success came along “The Hangover: Part II,” whose tagline should have read “It’s really just ‘The Hangover,’ in Thailand!”

Audiences, lured by the promise of more misadventures of the part of the accident-prone group, went, and though maybe we got a few laughs out of our ten bucks, we were largely disappointed.

So will we be tempted to return to the theaters to see yet another installment? Or, have we been burned past the point of no return?

Certainly the film has potential. Our beloved cast, at least, hasn’t changed much. Oily Bradley Cooper, put-upon Ed Helms and hilariously awkward Zach Galifianakis are reuniting on the screen, along with Ken Jeong as the strange and generally undressed Mr. Chow, and Mike Epps as Black Doug.

Mike Tyson, too, has signed back on for an appearance, but we imagine he doesn’t really have a lot else going on.

Can the movie surpass its predecessor and live up to the high standards set by the original? I mean, who didn’t put a pair of sunglasses on their nephew and call him Carlos for like, months?

That’s good stuff. That’s comedy gold.

Since the movie is still in its early stages, little is known about the plotline. However, producer and director Todd Phillips is allegedly looking to change up the storyline, and bring us back to where “The Hangover” all began. So, we can breathe a collective sigh of relief that we’re not just looking at  another incident of “The Hangover: Exactly the Same, Except Now the Baby is a Monkey!”

If Phillips can deliver the same kind of craziness and hilarity that made the original into a household stoner favorite, then we predict a winner; however, will audiences need more proof of redemption after his last failed attempt? Can Phillips promise us a hit?

I guess time will tell, so until the trailer hits, all we can do is pop an Asprin and hope for the best.

Oh, my aching head.
