The Hangover Part III
Stream
Rent & Buy
This time, there's no wedding. No bachelor party. What could go wrong, right? But when the Wolfpack hits the road, all bets are off.
What critics thought
The Hangover Part III was broadly panned as a franchise closer that abandons the comedic mechanics that made the original a hit, functioning more as a dark action thriller than a comedy. Critics were nearly unanimous in finding it joyless and inert, though a small minority argued the film's willingness to take risks in a darker direction was at least braver than delivering the same formula a third time.
“Ditching the hangovers, the backward structure, the fleshed-out characters and any sense of debauchery or fun, this installment instead just thrusts its long-suffering protagonists into a rote chase narrative”
Andrew Barker·Variety
“a dull, lazy walkthrough that along with The Big Wedding has a claim to be the year's worst star-driven movie”
Steven Holden·The New York Times
“Young viewers looking for unbridled raunch will be sadly disappointed, and so will other moviegoers expecting more than a few wan chuckles”
Stephen Farber·The Hollywood Reporter
“The Hangover Part III runs a different sort of risk by going to darker and more dangerous places than its predecessors, both artistically and emotionally. It dares to alienate the very audience that made The Hangover the highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time”
Christy Lemire·Associated Press
“Director Todd Phillips delivers a film so different from the first two, I'm not even sure it's supposed to be a comedy”
