Leave your thoughts about 3 Strikes.
| Atlanta Journal-ConstitutionDave LarsenUnoriginal and insulting, 3 Strikes goes down without scoring a single chuckle. |
| PopMattersElena Razlogova3 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. |
| Chicago TribuneJohn PetrakisFeels like a very long late-night comedy sketch that occasionally veers beyond tastelessness toward something worse. |
| TV Guide MagazineMaitland McDonaghThis picture is just shapeless and shrill. It's disposable, forgettable and aimed at an audience that doesn't care. |
| New York PostJonathan ForemanThis is a sloppy hash of a movie, poorly directed and plotted in a way that looks as if it were improvised on the spot. |
| Film.comTom KeoghCould have afforded to be a little loftier and still be quite funny. Instead, it's a waste. |
| Los Angeles TimesEric HarrisonExuberantly rude and crude, but generally more frantic than genuinely funny. |
| Mr. ShowbizMichael AtkinsonIt's a chilling piece of legal hysteria, and ripe for nasty farce. But Pooh plays it all for buffoonish pratfalls and fart jokes. |
| Greenwich Village GazetteEric LurioThe problem with the film is of course the weak script. Slapstick requires impeccable timing, and this doesn't have it. |
| Boston PhoenixMike MiliardThis one used up all three of 'em in the first few minutes. |
