BullfrogkingOfficial M. @JerryLikesMovies 2d Not as good as the first one but still really good. See more Randy Z @Randyz 3d I didn't hate it, and it had some decent action and a reasonably respectable plot. But it's nothing like the others. See more Roberto L. @RobertoLongstaff29 Nov 16 Sadistic Chinese gangster exploits, tortures, and implicates a group of friends traveling in his crimes for 3 straight movies. Would watch 20 times See more Elliott L. @GreenBeans Nov 11 MOTHER OREO SMOOTHIE NOW!!! Great movie, and honestly best way to end such an amazing trilogy. Always a classic. Who isn’t happy that they gave Allen a girl to mount? They don’t make comedy’s like this anymore. Love this film. Roll a blunt and watch with your boys, it won’t disappoint. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Nov 10 The Hangover Part III serves as a harsh reminder that sometimes a story is best left unfinished. After the runaway success of the first film and the lukewarm reception of its sequel, the third entry in Todd Phillips’ comedy trilogy feels like a desperate attempt to squeeze one last laugh out of a concept that had already run its course. What made the original Hangover so fresh — its wild unpredictability and insane chemistry among the cast — is completely gone here, replaced with a hollow sense of obligation and a plot that feels more like an afterthought than a conclusion. This time around, the Wolfpack — Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms), and Alan (Zach Galifianakis) — find themselves roped into a new adventure involving Mr. Chow (Ken Jeong) and a crime boss played by John Goodman. On paper, that setup might sound like a fun change of pace. In practice, it strips away the core element that made these films special: the wild morning-after mystery. Instead of waking up to chaos and piecing together the night, we’re given a straightforward kidnapping caper that lacks both the energy and the heart that made the first Hangover a cultural phenomenon. The addition of John Goodman could have been a major win — he brings gravitas and comic timing to almost any role — but even he can’t save this aimless script. The humor feels forced, the pacing sluggish, and the chemistry that once carried the series now feels tired. The cast does what they can, especially Galifianakis, who still manages to squeeze a few genuine laughs out of Alan’s childlike absurdity, but even his charm feels overused by this point. Cooper and Helms coast through their roles like they’re just trying to get to the finish line, and it shows. Doug (Justin Bartha), as always, remains irrelevant — the franchise’s most forgettable main character. His absence once again drives the plot, but by now it’s almost comical how little he contributes to the story. It’s hard not to wonder why they didn’t just cut him entirely or turn the running gag into an intentional bit of meta-humor. Instead, the film continues to treat him like an anchor that never mattered in the first place. What’s worse is how little the film even tries to be funny. Gone are the outrageous set pieces and comedic shock moments that defined the first two movies. Instead, The Hangover Part III leans into action-thriller territory, trading laughter for chase scenes and forced sentimentality. It’s as if the filmmakers forgot what kind of movie they were making, hoping that an edgier tone would somehow reinvigorate the franchise. It doesn’t — it just makes the whole thing feel misplaced and joyless. By the end, the trilogy limps to a close with a half-hearted sense of finality. There’s an attempt to wrap things up emotionally, but it’s too little, too late. The creative spark that once made The Hangover such a wild ride has been completely drained. This third installment is neither funny nor exciting — it’s just there, existing because the studio wanted one more paycheck out of a beloved idea. In the end, The Hangover Part III is a misfire from every angle. It’s not unwatchable, but it’s joyless, repetitive, and devoid of the humor that once made these characters so much fun. What began as a brilliant comedy classic has ended as a reminder that not every hit needs a trilogy. It’s the weakest and most forgettable entry in the series — a film that proves sometimes the best sequel is no sequel at all. See more Horror fan 4 Aug 13 A good way to end a trilogy. There were definitely some laugh out loud moments especially the end credits scene. Tim Treakle See more Read all reviews
