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.

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.

No, as it is evident, the party in the title doesn't really fit because there isn't really much of a real party going on here. In fact, even the hangover doesn't occur. Except for the very end, which is perhaps the best moment of the whole movie, which is a bit sad. Nevertheless, it still manages to entertain. The characters don't stop, the creators tried to create a dynamic spectacle, which this time relies heavily on Chow, who changes the tone of the film from comedy to proper drama, and quite brutal at that. I like this. The film gains a new dimension. It is evident that the intention was to end the trilogy grandly, but it's still damn only about catching one little Chinese guy. Some scenes are unforgettable, especially the ending, but the humor is suddenly not as explosive. I wonder how it could continue, but I prefer no fourth installment.

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%
