The Hangover Part III (2013) - Rotten Tomatoes

critics consensus

Less a comedy than an angrily dark action thriller, The Hangover Part III diverges from the series' rote formula but offers nothing compelling in its place. Read critic reviews

Movie Info

It's been two years since the gang known as the Wolfpack narrowly escaped disaster in Bangkok. Now, Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) have happy lives at home -- but Alan (Zach Galifianakis) doesn't. Still lacking contentment and a sense of purpose, Alan has gone off his meds and surrendered to his natural impulses. It's up to the other members of the Wolfpack to get him through his personal crisis by embarking on a road trip to the place it all began: Las Vegas.

... if director and co-writer Todd Phillips didn't run this once clever idea into the ground the first two times, he definitely did it the third time with THE HANGOVER PART III.

Reel Talk Online
If you loved The Hangover but loathed its nastier, cruder, non-hilarious sequel - apart from that quite amusing monkey - you'd be right to approach this threequel with caution.

It's such tired schtick, such a nakedly calculated play to be "controversial," for an increasingly irrelevant filmmaker to get attention. He used to do so by making funny movies.

Among the movie's built-in problems are the fact that Galifianakis' character is more pathetic than amusing...

The makers of the Hangover movies shouldn't see any glory in being responsible for the second-unfunniest [Scary Movie being the first] comedy franchise in town.

A disappointing stumble downward in comedic value.

The Hangover 3 makes it pretty clear that sometimes it's just plain time for even the most welcomed guests to get on their way.

cCloses out the lucrative franchise with the most tedious, supremely unfunny installment yet.

Brent McKnight
The Last Thing I See
The biggest problem is putting [Zach Galifianakis] and [Ken Jeong] in the spotlight... The rest of the cast appears to be disinterested, especially Cooper, who looks like he would rather be anywhere else.

[While] it's a slightly better entry than its predecessor, the third (and final?) instalment still lacks the spark of the original.

Audience Reviews for The Hangover Part III

Jul 14, 2015

Straying from the Hangover formula does little to salvage this disappointingly unfunny three-quel.

Isaac H Super Reviewer
May 08, 2015

It's a good thing that it's the last because if you'd ask me, I'd rather watch the first film three times than see the entire trilogy. But Bradley Cooper!

Maymay A Super Reviewer
Feb 18, 2015

Not hardly as funny as the first one. They try to hard to make you laugh. The story and the effects are not that great at all.

Jarrin R Super Reviewer

Probably my least favorite of the three, but it had its moments.
