The Hangover Part III is a 2013 American comedy film produced by Legendary Pictures and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It is the sequel to 2011's The Hangover Part II, and the third and final film in The Hangover film series. The film stars Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Ken Jeong, Heather Graham, Jeffrey Tambor, Justin Bartha, and John Goodman, with Todd Phillips directing a screenplay written by himself and Craig Mazin. The Hangover Part III was released on May 23, 2013.

Plot

After being arrested in Bangkok, Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong) is in prison. Using a riot as a cover, he escapes. Meanwhile, Alan Garner (Zach Galifianakis) has bought a giraffe but it is beheaded when he tows it under a low bridge and closes the interstate. Alan's father, angry at him for not owning up to his mistake, dies of a heart attack. After the funeral, Alan's friends Phil Wenneck (Bradley Cooper), Doug Billings (Justin Bartha), and Stu Price (Ed Helms) attend an intervention and Alan agrees to go to rehab, but only if "the Wolfpack" go with him.

While driving there, Marshall (John Goodman) rams them off the road. He tells them that Chow stole 1 of 2 trucks under his control which had $21 million in gold in it from him, and since Alan was the only one to communicate with Chow while he was imprisoned, they need to find Chow and bring him and the gold back to Marshall. Marshall takes Doug as collateral and gives the others three days to find Chow.

Alan has an e-mail from Chow and they set up a meeting in Tijuana, Mexico. Stu and Phil attempt to drug Chow but he recognises the poison that they have spiked his drink with. All 3 then confess to the whole thing and Chow seems sympathetic and offers to help them. He says that one of his properties that was seized after his arrest contains the gold and they go on a mission to retrieve it. After getting to the place in the house where the gold is hidden, and Chow has it in his possession, it turns out be a set up as Chow locks the door, sets off the alarm for Phil, Alan and Stu to be found by the police. At the Police station the charges are mysteriously dropped as it turns out that Marshall was the actual owner of the house, Chow never owned it, and the $21 million in gold was the other truck full.

Marshall gives them two days to find Chow again. They track Phil's phone to a pawn shop in Las Vegas. The pawn shop owner, Cassie (Melissa McCarthy), tells them that Chow traded a gold brick for $18,000. Using the stripper named Jade (Heather Graham) as their contact they find out that Chow is in the penthouse suite of Caesars Palace. When Phil and Alan confront Chow, he jumps from the casino and parachutes down to the strip.

Stu catches up with Chow and puts him in the trunk of the limo that Marshall had given them. They take the gold and meet with Marshall. Marshall shoots the trunk of the limo, thinking that he has killed Chow, and lets Doug go. However, Alan had freed Chow from the trunk earlier, and Chow emerges from the limo and shoots Marshall and his henchmen. He offers them a bar of gold but they turn him down and head home, with Alan saying he no longer wants to be friends with Chow due to Chow's bad influence on him. On the way back they stop at the pawn shop and Alan makes a date with Cassie, and they two are married six months later.

In a post-credits scene taking place the morning after the wedding, Alan, Cassie, and Phil wake up in a trashed hotel room, hungover and confused. Stu emerges from the bathroom with breast implants and Alan remembers that the wedding cake was a gift from Chow, who emerges from the next room naked, laughing and swinging a samurai sword.

Cast

Production

In May 2011, days before the release of The Hangover Part II, director Todd Phillips said that "there already are plans for a third film but no script or start date".[13] About the posibility of The Hangover Part III, Phillips stated, "If we were to do a third one, if the audience, if the desire was there, I think we have a very clear idea where that would head. It's certainly not in the same template that you've seen these movies. The third would be very much a finale and an ending. The most I could say about it, what's in my head, and I haven't discussed it with these actors, is that it is not following that template but very much a new idea. As far as where it takes place, I said I'm very open."[14] Also during May, Craig Mazin, who co-wrote The Hangover Part II, entered early talks to write the script for the third installment.[15]

In December 2011, Bradley Cooper appeared on The Graham Norton Show to promote The Hangover Part II DVD and Blu-ray release, where he stated he "hopes" that The Hangover Part III will start shooting in September 2012, and also stated that Todd Phillips is working on the script.[16] In January 2012, it was reported that stars Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms were nearing deals to reprise their roles in third installment with each receiving $15 million (against the backend) for their participation.[3] In February 2012, Mike Tyson stated that he would return in the third film,[17] although he later told TMZ that "I have no idea what's going on. I'm not in this one."[18]

In March 2012, Warner Bros. announced that it was moving forward with the sequel and scheduled a release date of May 24, 2013, again aiming for a Memorial Day opening weekend.[19] In June 2012, it was reported that the third installment would return to Las Vegas and would shoot on the Las Vegas Strip and at Caesars Palace. The report stated that much of the film would also be shot in Los Angeles and Tijuana and include a storyline that involves the boys rescuing Alan from a mental hospital.[20]

In July 2012, Ken Jeong signed on to return in a significantly expanded role.[4] The following week, Mike Epps entered negotiations to reprise his role of Black Doug.[10] In August 2012, it was reported that Heather Graham would be back to play Jade the stripper.[5] A few days later, Sasha Barrese was signed to reprise her role as Doug's wife, Tracy.[9] Also in August, John Goodman began talks to join the cast in a small role, then described as an antagonist in the same vein as Paul Giamatti's character in The Hangover: Part II.[8] In September 2012, Justin Bartha stated on The Stephanie Miller Show that he had signed on to return in the sequel.[7]

Principal photography began on Monday, September 10, 2012 in Los Angeles, California.[6][21] The following week, it was reported that Melissa McCarthy entered negotiations to join the cast in a small role and Lela Loren was cast as a police officer.[11][12] On October 8, 2012, production moved to Nogales, Arizona, which doubled as Tijuana in the film.[22][23] On October 20 and 21, a stretch of the 73 Toll Road in Orange County, California was closed for filming.[24] At the end of the month, production moved to Las Vegas for several weeks of filming.[25] Principal photography concluded in Las Vegas on Friday, November 16, 2012.[26]

Release

In early May 2013, Warner Bros. moved the release date for The Hangover Part III to Thursday, May 23, a day before Universal Pictures releases Fast & Furious 6, in an attempt to beat the Memorial Day weekend rush.[28] The Hangover Part III premiered on Monday, May 20, 2013 at the Westwood Village Theater in Los Angeles, California.[29]

Box office

The Hangover Part III took in $3.1 million in late Wednesday night screenings, ahead of its wide-release on Thursday, May 23, 2013.[30] It was projected to earn $80 million after its first five days in theaters, but only managed $11.7 million on its opening day[31] and so projections have dropped to around $50 million, making it a commercial disappointment.[32] The film earned $13 million on Friday, bringing it's total to $26 million. Making many[who?] believe that the film could go past $50 million in it's opening weekend.[citation needed]

Critical response

The Hangover Part III received negative from critics. Although receiving positive reviews from fans and non critics.[citation needed] Review aggregation website Rotten Tomatoes gives the film a score of 23% based reviews from 131 critics, with an average rating of 6.9/10.[33] The website's consensus reads: "Less a comedy than an angrily dark action thriller, The Hangover Part III diverges from the series' rote formula but offers nothing compelling in its place."[33] Metacritic, which uses a weighted mean, assigned a score of 31%, based on reviews from 35 film critics.[34]

Andrew Barker of Variety gave the film a negative review, writing, "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..."[35] Stephen Farber of The Hollywood Reporter wrote, "Young viewers looking for unbridled raunch will be sadly disappointed, and so will other moviegoers expecting more than a few wan chuckles."[36] Steven Holden of The New York Times called The Hangover Part III "a dull, lazy walkthrough that along with The Big Wedding has a claim to be the year's worst star-driven movie."[37] Betsy Sharkey of the Los Angeles Times said, "I'm not sure who let the dogs out this time, but they should be made to pay."[38] Richard Roeper of the Chicago Sun-Times wrote, "Director Todd Phillips delivers a film so different from the first two, I’m not even sure it’s supposed to be a comedy."[39]

Conversely, Christy Lemire of the Associated Press gave the film a positive review, writing, "The Hangover Part III, which runs a different sort of risk by going to darker and more dangerous places than its predecessors, both artistically and emotionally. It dares to alienate the very audience that made The Hangover the highest-grossing R-rated comedy of all time."[40]
