It would be easier to forgive some of the film's excesses, however, if it were actually funny.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 14, 2005

Embarrassingly slipshod comedy tripe.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 3, 2005

Has far more than three strikes against it.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Feb 3, 2005

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

| Mar 24, 2002

Relies much too heavily on multiple repetitions of gags that aren't especially funny the first time around.

Full Review | Feb 14, 2001

3 Strikes is depressing and grim, but not in any useful or interesting way.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

Butt-numbingly dull and almost entirely laugh-free.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000

A bitter pill to swallow.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

3 Strikes is unlikely to break new ground as yet another attempt by rap musicians and producers to reach white Multiplex audiences with a low-budget comedy.

| Jan 1, 2000

Unoriginal and insulting, 3 Strikes goes down without scoring a single chuckle.

| Jan 1, 2000

Without much of a story, convincing performances, or visual style to spark your juices, the mind tends to wander.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Jan 1, 2000

Dumb and sloppy.

| Jan 1, 2000

Pooh wastes a wonderful cast.

| Jan 1, 2000

A sloppy hash of a movie, poorly directed and plotted in a way that looks as if it were improvised on the spot.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 1, 2000

A giddy farce with sporadic laughs and no staying power.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

A second-string effort.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5 | Jan 1, 2000

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.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

The problem with the film is of course the weak script. Slapstick requires impeccable timing, and this doesn't have it.

Full Review | Jan 1, 2000

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.
