    Yes, the audience you mention can ruin a movie. I'm as open-minded as the next person, but even my wife, who is a mixture of said demographics, will look at me when, um, "poor people" come in and sit near us in the theater because....they....will....talk...and text....the entire.....f*****.....movie.

    Or the difference between going to AMC 30 Dunvale and Edwards Greenway. The latter? $3 to park but "worth" it (I got towed once when I tried to circumvent this) because you have fewer disruptions. The former? An audience that'll hoot and holler and cheer when Denzel head-pops Idris Elba in "American Gangster".

    Of course then you have the nerd talkers, like at "Star Trek". I didn't see the one dude's T-shirt but judging from all his nerd comments throughout the movie I would have bet the price of admission that he was wearing a T-shirt that said, "What's a Vagina?"

    I hated the last one. Loved seeing Rio again, if on the screen (saw it on HBO), and I also hated seeing Rio again, because there is no way, none, zero, zilch, that any of those action scenes could have happened in the middle of Rio de Janeiro. Let alone the laws of physics. I was like, "You're gonna do all that but where are all the s***ty Brazilian drivers snarling up traffic?"

    Lately, when I go to see a movie in a theater who am I to complain and judge what others do?? Guys think about this for a second, if people are texting/talking/ or doing whatever it is they do that annoys you inside the theater, what makes you think they are doing it intentionally?? Aren't these people just trying to enjoy the experience as much as you, they paid for the same damn ticket like everyone else did they not??? Why is it always about what I want, and I'm entitle to do this or that or whatever the ***??? The general public wants to enjoy the experience as much as you do so why should we follow a guideline when really they only text/talk in certain scenes of a movie.. I seriously don't believe people talk/text/shout ever second of every minute while the movie is playing right?? I go to ghetto theaters all the time, it's more of an exaggeration to be honest and if a movie sucks, you will get that kind of response, if a movie kicks ass like Django, people will behave and STFU...

    Look, reacting to something on the screen is one thing (and I still say, cheering at Denzel head-popping Idris Elba as if it's just the coolest thing....is ignorant, so sorry).

    Talking all damn movie (and yes, people do it) as if you're at home and don't have people around you who are trying to watch the movie is another.

    I thought it was consistently funny enough to me. I'm not sure if this movie is made for critics but for the fanboys of the trilogy this is good. If you liked the 1,2 installments the 3rd one is no different and the laughs keep coming... I was hoping to see John Goodman's character from the Big Lebowski now that would have been epic...

    The 1st one was great. The 2nd was solid worth seeing at the theater. The 3rd is more of a rental.

    The third one was the worst. Not that many big laughs.

    don't think i've seen such disparity between critics and audience in rotten tomatoes ever. It's about 90% of audience enjoyed it and 20% of critics. What did you guys think?

    I thought the first one was good, but way overrated after everyone i know hyped it up so much. I thought 2nd one was pretty ****ty. Not sure if I should see this one or not.

    Critics are clowns in the literal sense. They nitpick about nothing just to make a name for themselves. I know he's not a critic but look at skip Bayless. They draw attention to themselves on purpose and get on their high horse. I only look at audience reviews on RT. But this movie was fantastic. I haven't laughed so hard in any hangover movie.

    Also you have this one joker (Jeremy jahns) complaining that nobody was hungover or even drunk in the movie. I want to punch that guy in the face. You should check out some of his reviews on YouTube

    Saw it last night. I wasnt expecting much after seeing the reviews. i thought it was consistently funny as someone else said. It was predictable at times, but much better than the crappy second one. I thought one was overrated, but i enjoyed both 1 and 3.

    It was ok, I really only laughed a couple of time out lout, but I really enjoyed seeing so many leave the theater when the credits rolled. They missed the best part of the movie, the Hangover. Holy ****, I almost puked from laughing so hard at that part. Pure awesome.

    More of a rental though. It cost me $98 to take 4 people to see it at the Sundance Theater. 4 tickets $50. Two popcorn, two large drinks, box of Skittles for my sis and 1 beer for my brother, $48.00. Whateves.

    That's your bad. How can you have a woman in the group especially your sister and not have her bring her biggest purse and jam it full of food and drinks?

    Last time I had my gf stuff some burgers and fries in there lol. Next time I'm gonna shove some KFC in there just so I can yell " I ate the bones! " after I'm done.

    My wife and I liked it. It was actually kinda embarrassing. You know that person in the theater laughing louder and more often, i.e., people are turning their heads to see who it is? That was my wife. Galifianakis cracks her up.
