Fast and Furious 6 and Hangover Part III: Fun and Disaster


Summer means high-octane movies, and few flicks will offer extreme experiences like the vehicle heists of Fast and Furious 6 and the disarrayed buddy comedy of The Hangover Part III. But so deep into each series, is either film worth watching? Peter Travers offers a qualified yes.

I had a great time atFast Five, and now, I had the same kind of great time at [Fast and Furious 6], Travers says. So either Im losing it completely, or I just am in that popcorn-movie summer feeling. And the action isnt just limited to cars expect planes, aircraft carriers, tanks and all sorts of other fast and furious vessels. After two hours of this, I had a smile on my face, Travers says of the sixth iteration in the series, which featuresVin Diesel, Paul Walker, Dwayne Johnson and Michelle Rodriguez as the former criminal crew now working for theU.S. Diplomatic Security Service in exchange for a clear record.

Peter Travers Picks Five Summer Movies to Skip

The Hangover Part III, however, is a big stinker. Despite Travers fondness for the first film in the series, this latest update in whichZach Galifianakis, Ed Helms and Bradley Cooper sort out a classic mixup with Ken Jeongs Leslie Chow and stolen goldfalls completely flat. In an early scene, Galifianakis character Alan Garner takes a selfie with a photograph of his father at his fathers funeral. That made me laugh, Travers says. That was the first time and the last time that I really laughed.

Its a poor effort all around. Nobody seems to be trying in this movie, Travers says. I felt like I had a hangover.
