Pooh's 3 Strikes aims a good deal higher in concept than, say, your average booty movie — but the crude, witless jokes are on exactly that level.

Reviews for 3 Strikes
Top CriticWithout much of a story, convincing performances, or visual style to spark your juices, the mind tends to wander.

3 Strikes is depressing and grim, but not in any useful or interesting way.
01/01/00
Has far more than three strikes against it.
02/03/05
Butt-numbingly dull and almost entirely laugh-free.

Top CriticThis is a truly dismal cinematic experience!
01/01/00
A sloppy hash of a movie, poorly directed and plotted in a way that looks as if it were improvised on the spot.
01/01/00
Top CriticSophomoric and unfunny.
01/01/00
Top CriticPooh wastes a wonderful cast.
01/01/00
There's absolutely no momentum -- comedic or otherwise -- to propel the film or hold one's interest in what transpires.
01/01/00
Unoriginal and insulting, 3 Strikes goes down without scoring a single chuckle.
01/01/00
Top CriticThe simplistic formula of 3 Strikes relies on sexual humor, flatulence and references to not-so-current events, with the bombardment of mediocre jokes soon growing tiresome and repetitive.
01/01/00
Relies much too heavily on multiple repetitions of gags that aren’t especially funny the first time around.
02/14/01
Top Critic3 Strikes put its team to bat and struck out without a hit.
01/01/00
The problem with the film is of course the weak script. Slapstick requires impeccable timing, and this doesn't have it.
01/01/00
It's disposable, forgettable and aimed at an audience that doesn't care.
01/01/00
This one used up all three of 'em in the first few minutes.
03/24/02
Dumb and sloppy.
01/01/00
Top CriticA bitter pill to swallow.
