This one used up all three of 'em in the first few minutes. Full Review |

|
|
Relies much too heavily on multiple repetitions of gags that aren’t especially funny the first time around. Full Review |

|
|
To give you an idea of the level of comedy here, Fargas has fewer lines than farts, playing a flatulent uncle. Full Review |

|
1/5 |
A second-string effort. Full Review |

|
Dumb and sloppy. Full Review |

|
|
Designed for a lowest-common-denominator audience segment.

|
Unoriginal and insulting, 3 Strikes goes down without scoring a single chuckle. Full Review |
||
|
|
The 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. Full Review |

|
1/4 |

1/5 |
Sophomoric and unfunny. Full Review |

||
|
|
There's absolutely no momentum -- comedic or otherwise -- to propel the film or hold one's interest in what transpires. Full Review |
||
|
|
Pooh wastes a wonderful cast. Full Review |

|
|
A bitter pill to swallow. Full Review |

1/4 |
Butt-numbingly dull and almost entirely laugh-free. Full Review |
