What to Know

Critics Consensus

3 Strikes lacks direction and its low-brow humor isn't even that funny.

Variety

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

Butt-numbingly dull and almost entirely laugh-free.

Rated: 1/4

Atlanta Journal-Constitution

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

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

Audience Member Fun and great movie if you don't wanna think too hard Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/26/23 Full Review Audience Member It could have worked with the right writers and the soundtrack is nice but overall the characters were either forgettable or annoying, every single joke was kinda the same either being ray's situation or "adult" jokes,and it was even sometimes boring. 2/10 Rated 1/5 Stars • Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Not a great movie but very good! This movie is NOT for everyone as a vast number of people might not "get it" based on some reviews I've seen! This movie has Oscar and Emmy winning actors in it! Def worth a watch!
