Slow, sentimental and somewhat sedated, the third "Hangover" movie isn't so much exhausted of outrageous "Oh no, theyΒ didn't!" ideas as it is spent of energy. And they knew it too. β€”Β Roger Moore, Chicago Tribune

This sequel makes a major tactical error by focusing excessively on the most outlandish β€” and least comicalβ€” character from the previous films. It's more a road movie with action elements than a comedy, and the debauchery of the first two films is missing. β€”Β Claudia Puig, USA Today
