New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottMay 22, 2013
And so the real question isn't whether director Todd Phillips' third -- and, he insists, the final -- installment in the unabashedly crude, very R-rated comedy trilogy is funny. Of course, it is. Read full review

Austin ChronicleKimberley JonesMay 23, 2013
This is in fact the end – it is what is. We’ve had some good laughs. Let’s part amicably. Read full review

The A.V. ClubA.A. Dowd May 22, 2013
The best that can be said for the third, supposedly final chapter is that it jettisons the retracing-our-steps scenario of the 2009 original and its 2011 carbon-copy sequel. There is, in other words, no hangover in The Hangover Part III. Read full review

Most of it plays like Jackass. Read full review

Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperMay 22, 2013
Director Todd Phillips has delivered a film so different from the first two, one could even ask if this is even supposed to be a comedy. I'm not saying it's an unfunny comedy wannabe; I'm saying it plays more like a straightforward, real-world thriller with a few laughs than a hard-R slapstick farce. Read full review

McClatchy-Tribune News ServiceRoger MooreMay 21, 2013
As "Hangovers" go, Part III isn't challenging or unpleasant, just instantly forgettable. It won't take much to sleep this one off. Read full review

Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerMay 23, 2013
The tonal problem of the second installment, which often resembled a drug-infested pulp thriller instead of a comedy, is also problematic here. Read full review

The PlaylistRodrigo PerezMay 22, 2013
It would be unfair and an exaggeration to say 'Part III' ends with a whimper, as there are a few moments to savor, but there's hardly a climatic bang and, sadly, absolutely nothing epic and explosive about this rather tepid and forgettable trilogy closer. Read full review

Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzMay 22, 2013
It's an unnecessary movie, with some funny parts and a few callbacks to the original, as if visiting Las Vegas for a bit might bring back some of the original magic. It doesn't, but at least this time it seems like they're trying. A little, at least. Read full review

Village VoiceChris PackhamMay 21, 2013
With The Hangover Part III, director Todd Phillips continues to occupy an apt (and very lucrative) niche, casting rich, entitled fraternity dicks as underdog heroes beset by shrewish women, foreigners with funny accents, and even animals-often cute animals with big, dewy eyes. Read full review

Total FilmMatthew LeylandMay 21, 2013
Less abrasive than Part II, but lacking any of Part I's freshness, this is the most lacklustre return-to-Vegas, trilogy-closing caper since "Ocean's Thirteen." Read full review

The Hollywood ReporterStephen FarberMay 21, 2013
Young viewers looking for unbridled raunch will be sadly disappointed, and so will other moviegoers expecting more than a few wan chuckles. This picture is like a brightly colored balloon with all the comic air seeping out. Read full review

VarietyAndrew BarkerMay 21, 2013
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, periodically pausing to trot out fan favorites for a curtain call. Read full review

EmpireOlly RichardsMay 20, 2013
Tonally a complete departure from the rest of the series, which is at once laudably brave and disappointingly unfunny. Read full review
