For the viewer who, like me, reveled and rolled with laughter at the characters, surprises, spring-loaded moments of subtlety, uproars, and mad funnies of the original The Hangover and its sequel, The Hangover Part II (+ UltraViolet Digital Copy), this Part III is much less than all that, but still worthwhile. The first two movies were so over-the-top, that the allusions and invocations of great memories already are worth the price of admission to The Hangover Part III.
Alas, the plot and characters here lack the width and contrasts, and the element of surprise is pretty much gone. But compared to all the schlocky stuff out there, this is a movie I'm glad to have spent a couple hours of my life seeing. However, once is enough. And if you're not already a devotee from those first two, I would not start with this one.
Remember how you felt after watching The Godfather Part III? Enough said.

I felt like I have seen this movie before. Oh wait! Those were only the trailers... All the funny scenes were in the trailers, I guess you put your best foot forward. 1 and 2 were way better, so don't be disappointed when you watch this one. I recommend it, especially if you've seen the first two. Rent it!Honest reviews on The Hangover Part III (Blu-ray+DVD+UltraViolet Combo Pack) (2013)
Synopsis: Alan (Zach Galifinakis) decides to purchase a giraffe, but his recklessness inadvertently causes his father's heart attack and subsequent death. Fed up with his immaturity and drug abuse, his family decides that he needs to go to intervention. Alan agrees, but only as long as Phil (Bradley Cooper), Stu (Ed Helms) and Doug (Justin Bartha) take him to intervention in Phoenix, Arizona. As the men are on their travels, they get sideswiped by Black Doug (Mike Epps) and crime boss Marshall (John Goodman). Marshall abducts Doug for ransom in an effort to get back millions of dollars which were stolen from Marshall by Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong), who has broken out of Thai prison since the end of Hangover 2. The men are tasked with finding Chow and getting the money back, which sends them on a wild goose chase that sees them chasing Chow across the American Southwest and Mexico. As the men chase Chow and attempt to get the money, they reconnect with some of the people they met previously, such as Jade (Heather Graham) and her growing son (who was an infant in the first Hangover movie.) Will the men find Chow? If so, will they maintain an allegiance to Marshall or help Chow along the way? Will Doug get killed before the ransom is delivered? What crazy antics will Chow get them into this time? And will Alan ever grow up?!This was the movie that Hangover 2 was meant to be: A comedic action film that threw twists and turns along the way. The reason that Hangover 2 was a flop was largely due to the fact that they tried to apply the action formula that was perfected in this movie to the exact same story (more or less) that was told during the first film. Though the movie was critically panned, I laughed harder that this than I did Hangover 2 and found some moments to be as funny as the first. Perhaps the reputation of the second movie made movie critics too cowardly to give this one better praises, but the reputation this one has is wholly unwarranted. No it's not a classic, but it's certainly not a dud, either. In the end, you have a very serviceable sequel that would be a slightly above-average film to watch even if you hadn't seen the other two.
I recommend this for fans of the other Hangover films, action movies, and comedies.

I liked both #1 & #2, so i was of course going to see this.The whole thing starts with a parody of Shawshank Redemption (involving Chow) so the laughing started right away for my part. There's enough absurde situations here to make me like it almost as much as Hangover 1 & 2, even though there is no alcohol involved this time (it actually isn't). And "backtracking" is actually a big part of the story in this one: To take a quote directly out of the movie: "You have no idea of the chain of events that were set in motion that night....". This of course refers to one of the nights in the previous movies. Im not gonna say which:-) To keep the excitement. This is (black) humour at its best in my opinion. And YES i consider it black humour: When you think about the whole thing being about the subject "hangover" while you watch the intro with its dramatic classical music....
