Twee jaar na het Bangkok-avontuur zit rampenmagneet Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong) zogezegd opgesloten in een Thaise gevangenis en leiden Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) en Doug (Justin Bartha) eindelijk een heerlijk rustig leventje - tot hun beste vriend Alan (Zach Galifianakis) zijn medicijnen niet meer wil slikken, de pedalen verliest en zo het startschot geeft voor weer een aaneenschakeling van tragikomische momenten. Regisseur Todd Phillips heeft het beste voor laatst bewaard in deze waanzinnig grappige, actievolle afsluiting van de weergaloze Wolfpack-trilogie. (Warner Bros Home Entertainment)

Where'd the Hangover go? If it weren't for Alan my rating would be very, very poor. Thanks to the few light moments that you could count on one hand, I'll try to forget this "fun" and remember the wolf pack as I know them from the first two installments. It's like the boys have grown out of puberty... A weak 3 stars.

The actors Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong steal the spotlight during the whole third instalment of The Hangover for themselves. It stands and falls by them. And it does not really matter that after the original first instalment and the second one, which was basically just Asian version of the first one, there is finally some new premise. Zach and Ken simply belong into this story. It is all clear after the first scene, where you see Ben in a prison, and the second one, showing Zach with a giraffe. This is their world and this is where they belong. However, they are not in all the scenes and it is not always as great as at the beginning. Still… it was funny. Not hilarious, but it upheld the standard of the previous instalments.

Part III is a great ending of the series, though it lacks a more interesting climax. However, the bonus in the end credits almost completely makes up for it. Great cadence and originality of the jokes. Zach Galifianakis and Ken Jeong dominate the film, as Bradley Cooper and Ed Helms are only their sidekicks. John Goodman is a breath of fresh air. Though I found the first instalment strange, while watching the second part I began to understand the essence of “WolfPack humor”, and the third Hangover made me roll on the floor with laughter.

Unfortunately, the quality has decreased from episode to episode and in the future we can only hope that Tod Phillips will never party again. This third instalment is more refreshing and straightforward than the second, and the filmmakers' efforts at inventive twists must be appreciated, but this crazy road movie has so little in common with the legendary first movie that perhaps it should have a completely different title. Anyway, there is plenty of fun and the cadence of the jokes is greater than ever, but the action story intertwined with gangsters and stolen gold rather buries the film this time and by the end it seems completely unnecessary and contrived in places, as if it actually only served as a mandatory conclusion to a promising trilogy. And all that has been transferred to the actors, who in most cases have nothing to play with and the viewer retains some sympathy for them only through nostalgic memories of the good old days. Galifianakis and Jeong were the only ones up to the task, but that just wasn't enough in this case. 65%

Now even the original concept of the hangover has been dropped... And there’s more of that dumb Chinaman too. It’s fine that Phillips tried to make it a bit different third time round, but it’s more or less equally entertaining. Goodman is the only really nice character. A couple of great jokes, but overall it’s not very funny. They also ruined “Hurt" by Trent. I’m probably going to have nightmares from that post-credits scene.
