The Hangover Part III review: ‘Unnecessary sequel’ that’s ‘sporadically and barely’ amusing (photo: Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms in The Hangover Part III) There was a time, and this time now seems very long ago, when The Hangover was a near-cultural phenomenon. It became (for a while) the highest-grossing R-rated comedy ever, it made Bradley Cooper a star, and it proved the movie industry could find a place for oddball comic Zach Galifianakis. That was four years and, as it turns out, two disappointing sequels ago. The hope going into The Hangover Part III was that co-writer and director Todd Phillips would make amends for the universally disliked The Hangover Part II. That dream is neither denied nor fulfilled. Instead, we get another unnecessary sequel that’s amusing in the way that many crass bro-comedies are amusing, which is to say sporadically and barely. As Phil (Bradley Cooper...

John Goodman has opened up about his role in The Hangover Part III.
The Argo star revealed during an interview on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon that he plays "a guy who likes to kill people and dress in track clothes" in the sequel.
Goodman went on to say that The Hangover Part III will be "different from the first two and insanely funny", and paid tribute to main cast members Zach Galifianakis, Ed Helms, Bradley Cooper and Justin Bartha.
"They are the nicest guys to work with and they are all insanely funny. Especially Zack. He's a genius but he's the sweetest genius you'll ever see in your life. Just a nice guy," he said.
Heather Graham, Sasha Barrese, Sondra Currie, Mike Tyson and Ken Jeong will also reprise their roles for the film and Todd Phillips will return to the director's chair.

But who knows if that’s still the...
