‘Fast & Furious 6’ dumb funBad movies are rarely as
much fun as these “Fast and
the Furious” pictures. And
make no mistake about it —
they’re bad.
They stick to a rigid for-
mula of hot cars, street races
where skinny supermodels
make up the audience, and
impossible (and impossibly
expensive) road heists.
Fans know that every char-
acter will have his or her
moments to show off and that
no beloved character will be
killed off and stay dead. Fans
know the cast keeps growing,
just like the lineup of vintage
and modern day hopped-up
rides that power slide, drift
and burn rubber through the
digitally assisted chases and
crash-ups. Bystanders’ vehi-
cles may be crushed and
squashed as collateral dam-
age, but you never see the
blood of innocents.
And fans know to stay
through the credits, where
the movies’ gift to cinema car
culture just keeps on giving.
“Fast & Furious 6” pulls our
boys Dom and Brian (Vin Die-
sel and Paul Walker) out of
retirement one more time to
helpthefeds(DwayneJohnson
and Gina “Haywire” Carano)
nail a British villain (Luke
Evans, well cast) bent on world
domination.He’sstealingparts
for a “Nightshade” device that
will knock out a nation’s com-
munications, and he’s doing it
with wedge-shaped ramp cars
and such.
Dom and Brian leave their
lovely ladies, Brian’s newborn
baby and their Canary Islands
retirement for London. And
they get the team — played by
Tyrese Gibson, Sung Kang,
Ludacris and Gal Gadot —
back together. The added
incentive? Dom’s late love Let-
ty (Michelle Rodriguez) is still
alive and apparently one of
the bad guy’s minions.
These movies are a collec-
tion of epic chases, epic
brawls, dialogue zingers and
guilty pleasures. Yeah, Die-
sel’s still a stiff, something
that adding the colorful ex-
wrestler Johnson to the mix
only underlines. You can be
muscle-bound and expres-
sive, at ease in your skin. Not
that Roman (Gibson) notices
that. Given most of the funny
lines, Gibson announces
Johnson’s entrance with,
“Why do I smell baby oil?”
The gang they’re battling
is the spitting image of their
own. “It’s like we’re hunting
our evil twins!”
The cars? Cooler than ever,
with Dom’s passion for
Chrysler / Plymouth / Dodge
products extending to a big-
winged Plymouth Road Run-
ner Superbird of 1970s vin-
tage. He’s chasing Letty, who
drives a souped-up 1970s Brit-
ish Jensen Interceptor. And
those are just for starters.
Every law in the book will
be broken, from traffic infrac-
tions to laws of physics. It
runs out of gas for 30 min-
utes or more in the middle of
everything. But the easy bon-
homie of the cast, the jokey
tone of the script and in-
your-face slam-bang action (a
girlfight for the ages) make
this junk food that goes down
easily, no matter how little
nutritional value it has.
“Fast & Furious 6,” a Uni-
versal release is rated PG-13
for intense sequences of vio-
lence and action and may-
hem throughout, some sexu-
ality and language. Running
time: 130 minutes. ★★
“The Hangover Part III”
Slow, sentimental and
somewhat sedated, the third
“Hangover” movie isn’t so
much exhausted of outra-
geous “Oh no, they DIDN’T!”
ideas as it is spent of energy.
And they knew it, too. The
only raunchy moment is
stuffed into the closing cred-
its, a “we forgot to do that”
afterthought.
They know they’re done.
They just want to make sure
we know.
“The Hangover Part III”
becomes a fairly convention-
al caper comedy with the
capers driven by the still-
cackling, far-less-manic Mr.
Chow, played right to the
edge of caricature by the
irrepressible Ken Jeong.
It begins with the Alan
(Zach Galifianakis) buying
and accidentally decapitating
a (digital) giraffe, driving his
doting dad (Jeffrey Tambor)
to a heart attack. And that’s
just the first death.
Ditzy Alan needs an inter-
vention, and that’s when the
“Wolf Pack” (Bradley Cooper,
Ed Helms and Justin Bartha)
are commissioned to deliver
him to a rehab facility in Ari-
zona. On the way, they’re car-
jacked by a mobster (John
Goodman) who takes hapless
Doug (Bartha, who’s had the
“missing” role in all three
films,poorfellow)hostage.The
Wolf Pack has to track down
the thieving Chow, who has
escaped from a Thai prison.
“Youintroducedavirusinto
my life, Mr. Chow,” the mob
boss bellows. Go fetch him.
The boys promise to “take
him out” to save Doug. That
leads us to Tijuana and even-
tually back to where all this
started — Las Vegas.
There’s only one funny
cameo, and funny lines are
rare and random this time —
references to past escapades
(“Did you get tested?”) and
Mr. Chow’s peccadilloes
(“Gimme some sugar.”).
As “Hangovers” go, “Part
III” isn’t challenging or
unpleasant, just instantly for-
gettable. It won’t take much
to sleep this one off.
“The Hangover Part III,” a
Warner Bros. release, is rated
R for pervasive language
including sexual references,
some violence and drug con-
tent, and brief graphic nudi-
ty. Running time: 100 min-
utes. ★★
“Epic”
Derivative as all get out and
plainly concocted by a com-
mittee, “Epic” is a children’s
animated film that is more
entertaining and emotional
than it has any right to be.
Characters make sacrifices
and die, miss their parents
and mour n. And we’re
touched. At least a little. Hard
(if over-familiar) lessons are
learned and laughs land on
queue. Throw in some truly
gorgeous animation and Blue
Sky, the studio that made it,
delivers more proof that it’s
moved on from the junky
cash-machine “Ice Age” mov-
ies, even if this one doesn’t
rise to the charms and wit of
“Rio.”
Taking characters from
William Joyce children’s nov-
el about “Leaf Men” and
“Brave Good Bugs,” a team
of writers has borrowed from
“Antz” and “A Bug’s Life,”
and even “The Spiderwick
Chronicles,” for a story about
the fairy forces of life in a for-
est, the Leaf Men (and wom-
en) and their allies, in battle
with the rotting reptilian
bog-dwelling forces of decay.
A dotty scientist has sur-
veillance cameras covering
the forest where this struggle
is going on and suspects
there are little people out
there, riding into battle on
hummingbirds and crows,
armored and armed with
bows and arrows.
But it’s his daughter, M.K.
(Amanda Seyfried), who
finds the proof. That happens
when she’s magically shrunk
by the Queen (Beyonce
Knowles) and tasked with
ensuring that this one lily
pod blooms and renews life
by the light of the full moon.
M.K. struggles to survive
this brave (tiny) new world,
where warriors like the
rebellious Nod (Josh Hutch-
erson) and mission-focused
Ronin (Colin Farrell) must
fend off the reptilian designs
of Mandrake (Christoph
Waltz), who is determined to
upset the balance between
new life and decay and thus
take over the forest.
M.K. is assisted in her
quest by a very funny snail
and a slug (Chris O’Dowd,
Aziz Ansari), who know how
to keep the pod alive until it
blooms. And they are guided
by the daffy six-legged Nim
(Steven Tyler), the “scroll-
keeper” who sings and stud-
ies records from the past to
figure out how to carry out
the pod-blooming ritual.
The film’s 3-D makes excel-
lent use of depth of field,
delivering eye-popping next
generation animation that,
among other things, gives the
forest and its creatures won-
derful shadings and detail,
and makes the cartoon
humans even more lifelike.
But that’s the sort of thing
critics mention when the sto-
ry is kind of all over the
place, a real patchwork of
ideas and inventions bor-
rowed elsewhere.
“Epic” isn’t epic, but it
isn’t half bad, either. It’s just
that as high as the bar has
been raised on this sort of
animation, this is more evi-
dence that a strong story is
worth more than any next-
generation software.
“Epic,” a Blue Sky/Fox
release, is a rated PG for mild
action,somescaryimagesand
brief rude language. Running
time: 102 minutes. ★★½
