Third Time Is Not A Charm: ‘Hangover 3’ Receives Bad Reviews from Critics Ms. Bels Thursday, May 23, 2013 5-4-3-2-1, The Script Awwweeee, the fans had high hopes for the third installment of the Hangover film. Although the original cast (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, and Zach Galifianakis) returned, The Hangover III didn’t bomb in a good way at the box office. Most critics reported that the film lacked the same excitement and humor than that of the original one. Also, the cast seemed to have lost its mojo. Check out in detail what some of the critics had to say… “These superannuated party animals try vainly to stir up some enthusiasm during a return visit to Las Vegas, the site of the first Hangover movie. But their heart isn’t in it,” wrote Stephen Holden of The New York Times, who called it a “dull, lazy walkthrough” that has “a claim to be the year’s worst star-driven movie.” “The good news is that The Hangover Part III isn’t a rerun like the second episode. The bad news is everything else. For all the promise of mayhem and WTF moments, the final episode hits you with all the force of a warm can of O’Doul’s,” opined Kyle Smith of the New York Post. “As a Sin City romp, it’s too tame. And as a ‘very special’ ode to Alan’s journey to responsibility, it’s a miscalculation of what fans want from a series featuring a smoking monkey,” critiqued Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly, who gave it a B-. But who ever listens to a critic. Hangover is an all-time favorite comedy. Heck, maybe part 3 is actually pretty good. Go check it out for yourself and let us know your opinion of the film.
